Known Gaps

1. App Selector Empty - The test instance App Selector modal shows no apps. Unable to document the "Deploy Your First App" workflow.

2. Dark Theme Toggle - The "🎨 Light" button in the top bar displays current theme but doesn't toggle. Theme switching only works through Theme Builder modal.

3. Menu Navigation - Some menu items in the TOOLS/STATUS/ADMIN sections weren't directly clickable in headless Chrome. Had to use JavaScript workarounds to open modals.

4. Live Data - Logs and Stats show "Loading..." because the test instance doesn't have actual container data.

5. Mobile Screenshots - Not captured (viewport 1920x1080 only).

6. Delete/Cleanup Workflows - Not fully explored (would need running services).

7. Smart Arr Setup - Not explored.

8. Tailscale Integration - Not explored.

9. Docker Resources - Not explored in detail.

Questions for User

1. Should tutorials be integrated into the /docs page, or kept as standalone downloadable content?
2. Should I integrate the tutorials into the Next.js app router (create pages at /tutorials/*) or keep them as static markdown files?
3. The app selector is empty in the test instance - should I skip the "Deploy First App" tutorial or mark it as needing backend configuration?
4. Is the 11MB tarball size acceptable, or should screenshots be optimized/compressed?
5. Should I try to capture mobile (390x844) screenshots, or is 1920x1080 sufficient?
