chore: bump service worker cache version

When unauthenticated (TOTP gate active), the dashboard was polling
/api/v1/services/status every few seconds and reconnecting SSE every
2-8s indefinitely. Now: 401/403 sets _dcAuthLost flag to skip the
polling interval entirely (no fallback to direct probes which
misleadingly mark services as healthy), SSE exposes _sseClose()
coordinated with _dcAuthLost, and queued refreshes are guarded.

+# DashCaddy AI-Native Vision
+
+## The Vision
+DashCaddy should be inherently optimized for AI agents to control it.
+Users should be able to self-host anything using natural language.
+
+## Core Principles
+1. **AI as first-class citizen** — not a bolt-on chatbot, but where the API itself is designed for AI consumption
+2. **Natural language → deployment** — "host a Plex server" → running container + reverse proxy + DNS + health check
+3. **Agent-friendly API** — structured responses, semantic error codes, state machines, idempotent operations
+4. **MCP-native** — DashCaddy should expose itself as an MCP server so any AI agent can control it
+
+## Architecture Layers
+
+### Layer 1: Natural Language Intent Router (NEW)
+`POST /api/v1/ai/intent` — Takes natural language, returns structured action plan
+- "I want to stream movies" → { category: media-streaming, recommended: [plex, sonarr, radarr] }
+- "Set up a password manager" → { category: file-sync, recommended: [vaultwarden] }
+- "Block ads on my network" → { category: home-network, recommended: [adguard] }
+- "Why is Plex down?" → diagnostics query → { action: health-check, service: plex }
+
+### Layer 2: MCP Server (NEW)
+Expose DashCaddy as a Model Context Protocol server so ANY AI agent (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Hermes) can:
+- List services, containers, health status
+- Deploy/stop/restart apps
+- Manage DNS records and Caddyfile routes
+- Run diagnostics and get structured results
+- Create backups and restore
+
+### Layer 3: Structured Action API (EXISTING — needs enhancement)
+366 existing routes already cover the CRUD surface. Enhancement needed:
+- Consistent response envelopes (already have `ok()` / `errorResponse()`)
+- All error responses include machine-readable codes (DC-086 done — 80 codes)
+- Idempotency keys for mutating operations
+- Operation receipts (UUID + status tracking)
+
+### Layer 4: Semantic Service Catalog (EXISTING — DC-104)
+76 templates with categories, auto-categorization, search.
+Enhancement: Add intent tags ("movie streaming", "password manager", "ad blocking")
+
+### Layer 5: Diagnostic Engine (NEW)
+`POST /api/v1/ai/diagnose` — Structured troubleshooting
+- "Why is X slow?" → checks: CPU, memory, network, disk I/O, container logs
+- Returns structured findings with severity + suggested fix
+- Can auto-apply fixes with user approval
+
+### Layer 6: Deployment Orchestrator (PARTIAL — DC-103 + wizard)
+"Deploy Plex" → full automation chain:
+1. Pull image
+2. Create container with optimal config
+3. Generate Caddyfile route (DC-106)
+4. Create DNS record
+5. Add to services list
+6. Start health monitoring
+7. Configure notifications
+8. Return ready-to-use URL

 - **DC-093: Workflow engine retry with exponential backoff.** Actions retry up to 3 times with 2/4/8s delay before giving up. Logs each retry attempt. `exhaustedRetries` field in failure result shows total attempts.
 - **DC-073: Debug request logger.** Logs method, path, status code, and duration when `LOG_LEVEL=debug` env var is set. Off by default in production.
 - **DC-066: End-to-end billing integration test.** Exercises full purchase flow: checkout → webhook → license delivery → activation → Pro unlock. 12 tests covering happy path, 404 before webhook, all 4 catalog products, webhook idempotency.
-- **DC-076: WebSocket real-time dashboard updates.** `ws://host/api/v1/ws` — bidirectional WebSocket server with subscribe/unsubscribe by event type, JSON message protocol, heartbeat ping/pong, and auto-cleanup of dead connections.
-- **DC-077: Internationalization (i18n).** Translation system supporting English, Spanish, French, German, and Arabic. `GET /api/v1/i18n/languages`, `GET /api/v1/i18n/translations/:lang`. Accept-Language header detection with quality values. RTL support for Arabic.
-- **DC-080: Plugin/extension system.** PluginManager loads extensions from `{dataDir}/plugins/` that can register custom service types, notification providers, workflow actions, dashboard widgets, and deploy hooks. Manifest-based with permission declaration.
-- **DC-071: Error tracking integration.** Sentry-compatible error tracker (opt-in via `ERROR_TRACKING_DSN` env var). Non-blocking, 5s timeout, Express error middleware included.
-- **DC-086: Structured error codes.** 80 machine-readable error codes across 12 modules (AUTH, CONTAINER, SERVICE, DNS, CADDY, CA, BACKUP, BILL, HEALTH, NETWORK, SYSTEM, GENERAL). Format: `DC-[MODULE]-[NUMBER]`. `errorResponse()` surfaces `code` at top level.
-- **DC-087: JavaScript SDK + TypeScript types.** Zero-dependency client library (326 lines) covering 39 methods across 7 resource namespaces. API key or session auth, automatic CSRF, 5xx retry with backoff.
-- **DC-100: Service discovery.** `GET /api/v1/discover` scans running containers, matches against 20 known image patterns, returns suggested service configs with port mappings and existing-service detection.
-- **DC-103: One-click auto-route adoption.** `POST /api/v1/discover/adopt` creates service entry + Caddyfile reverse_proxy route + DNS record from a discovered container.
-- **DC-104: App catalog.** `GET /api/v1/catalog` browses 76 curated templates with category filtering, search, and popular badges. 7 auto-detected categories.
-- **DC-105: Smart defaults wizard.** "What do you want to self-host?" — 6 categories (media, files, network, smart home, development, monitoring), hardware profile limits, cross-category dedup with priority sorting.
-- **DC-106: Caddyfile-as-code.** Visual reverse proxy builder API — generate Caddyfile blocks from JSON config (TLS, auth, CORS, headers, WebSocket, compression, strip prefix). 5 preset templates.
-- **DC-107: Disaster recovery.** Full-system backup (services, config, credentials, Caddyfile, themes, assets) with SHA-256 checksum verification. One-click restore with partial-failure handling.
-- **DC-108: Multi-host fleet management.** Register/deregister remote DashCaddy instances, parallel health probes, multi-host deployment plan generation. API keys stored as SHA-256 hashes.
 
 ### Changed
 - **DC-082: Command injection eliminated.** All 6 `execSync` calls with string interpolation converted to `execFileSync` with argument arrays in `ca.js` and `self-updater.js`.

-# SAMI-CLOUD Status Dashboard API
-
-Cross-platform Node.js API server for managing Caddy reverse proxy and DNS records via REST APIs.
-
-## Features
-
-- **Cross-Platform**: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
-- **API-Based**: Uses Caddy Admin API and Technitium DNS API (no PowerShell required)
-- **App Deployment**: Deploy apps by creating DNS records and Caddy reverse proxy routes
-- **App Deletion**: Clean removal of DNS records and Caddy routes
-- **Automatic Rollback**: If deployment fails, automatically rolls back changes
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. **Node.js** (v14 or higher)
-2. **Caddy** with Admin API enabled
-3. **Technitium DNS Server** (optional, for DNS management)
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-cd api
-npm install
-```
-
-## Configuration
-
-Set the following environment variables (or use defaults):
-
-```bash
-# Caddy Admin API endpoint (default: http://localhost:2019)
-export CADDY_ADMIN_API=http://localhost:2019
-
-# Technitium DNS Server API endpoint (default: http://192.168.254.204:5380)
-export DNS_SERVER_API=http://192.168.254.204:5380
-
-# Technitium DNS API token (required for DNS operations)
-export TECHNITIUM_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here
-```
-
-### Windows (PowerShell)
-```powershell
-$env:CADDY_ADMIN_API="http://localhost:2019"
-$env:DNS_SERVER_API="http://192.168.254.204:5380"
-$env:TECHNITIUM_API_TOKEN="your_api_token_here"
-```
-
-### Windows (Command Prompt)
-```cmd
-set CADDY_ADMIN_API=http://localhost:2019
-set DNS_SERVER_API=http://192.168.254.204:5380
-set TECHNITIUM_API_TOKEN=your_api_token_here
-```
-
-## Running the Server
-
-```bash
-npm start
-```
-
-Or directly:
-```bash
-node caddy-api.js
-```
-
-The server will start on port 3001.
-
-## API Endpoints
-
-### Deploy an App
-```http
-POST /api/apps/deploy
-Content-Type: application/json
-
-{
-  "appId": "myapp",
-  "config": {
-    "subdomain": "myapp",
-    "ip": "192.168.1.100",
-    "port": "8080",
-    "createDns": true,
-    "dnsType": "private",
-    "sslType": "internal"
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Response:**
-```json
-{
-  "success": true,
-  "message": "App myapp deployed successfully",
-  "url": "https://myapp.sami",
-  "domain": "myapp.sami",
-  "ip": "192.168.1.100",
-  "port": "8080",
-  "dnsCreated": true,
-  "caddyConfigured": true
-}
-```
-
-### Delete an App
-```http
-POST /api/apps/delete
-Content-Type: application/json
-
-{
-  "domain": "myapp.sami",
-  "ip": "192.168.1.100"
-}
-```
-
-### Get Services List
-```http
-GET /api/services
-```
-
-### Get Caddy Configuration
-```http
-GET /api/caddy/config
-```
-
-### Test API
-```http
-GET /api/caddy/test
-```
-
-### Health Check
-```http
-GET /health
-```
-
-## Caddy Configuration Requirements
-
-Your Caddyfile should have the Admin API enabled:
-
-```caddyfile
-{
-  admin localhost:2019 {
-    origins localhost localhost:2019
-  }
-}
-```
-
-For the status dashboard to proxy API requests, add this to your Caddyfile:
-
-```caddyfile
-status.sami {
-  tls internal
-
-  # API proxy to Node.js server
-  handle /api/* {
-    reverse_proxy localhost:3001
-  }
-
-  # Static site
-  root * /path/to/sites/status
-  file_server
-}
-```
-
-## Getting Technitium DNS API Token
-
-1. Open Technitium DNS web interface
-2. Go to Settings → API
-3. Create a new API token or copy existing one
-4. Set it as the `TECHNITIUM_API_TOKEN` environment variable
-
-## Deployment Flow
-
-When deploying an app:
-
-1. **Validate** - Checks required fields (appId, subdomain, ip)
-2. **DNS Record** - Creates A record in DNS (if `createDns: true` and `dnsType: "private"`)
-3. **Caddy Route** - Adds reverse proxy route via Caddy Admin API
-4. **Rollback** - If Caddy configuration fails, removes DNS record
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Caddy Admin API not accessible
-- Verify Caddy is running
-- Check that admin API is enabled in your Caddyfile
-- Confirm the CADDY_ADMIN_API URL is correct
-
-### DNS operations failing
-- Verify TECHNITIUM_API_TOKEN is set correctly
-- Check DNS_SERVER_API URL is accessible
-- Ensure the API token has permissions to manage zones
-
-### Routes not appearing in Caddy
-- Check Caddy logs: `caddy logs`
-- Verify the route was added: `curl http://localhost:2019/config/`
-- Ensure the domain resolves correctly in DNS
-
-## Production Deployment
-
-For production use:
-
-1. Set up environment variables persistently
-2. Use a process manager (PM2, systemd, etc.)
-3. Configure proper logging
-4. Set up SSL/TLS for the API if exposed externally
-
-### Using PM2
-```bash
-npm install -g pm2
-pm2 start caddy-api.js --name sami-api
-pm2 save
-pm2 startup
-```
-
-### Using systemd (Linux)
-Create `/etc/systemd/system/sami-api.service`:
-
-```ini
-[Unit]
-Description=SAMI-CLOUD API Server
-After=network.target
-
-[Service]
-Type=simple
-User=caddy
-WorkingDirectory=/path/to/sites/status/api
-Environment="CADDY_ADMIN_API=http://localhost:2019"
-Environment="DNS_SERVER_API=http://192.168.254.204:5380"
-Environment="TECHNITIUM_API_TOKEN=your_token"
-ExecStart=/usr/bin/node caddy-api.js
-Restart=on-failure
-
-[Install]
-WantedBy=multi-user.target
-```
-
-Then:
-```bash
-sudo systemctl enable sami-api
-sudo systemctl start sami-api
-```

+ *
+ * Compact dropdown in the navbar (next to the theme toggle) that lets users switch
+ * the dashboard language. Supports all 31 backend languages with a searchable list.
+ *
+ * - Shows current language with flag emoji
+ * - Persists selection to localStorage('dashcaddy-language')
+ * - Sends selection to backend via POST /api/v1/config with { language: 'xx' }
+ * - Reloads the page on change so the new language takes effect
+ * - Search filter for quickly finding a language in the 31-option list
+ *
+ * Depends on: secureFetch() / postJSON() from globals.js (bundled in /dist/core.js).
