Introduce a --field design token (page background tone) used by inputs, textareas and select triggers, and raise the dark-mode card lightness so cards read as elevated surfaces with inset fields, following the shadcn convention.
Collapsible groups now auto-open when the active page lands inside them (while remaining manually toggleable), and the sidebar scrolls the active item into view. Previously, navigating via the command palette left the sidebar collapsed on the wrong spot.
Replace the TopBar dropdown search with a cmdk-based command palette opened via a visible trigger button (with platform-aware shortcut badge) or the Ctrl+K/Cmd+K global shortcut. Shared search logic moves to a useGlobalSearch hook; the palette reuses the existing ui/command components.
Same-origin proxying to localhost:8080 avoids CORS without weakening the server's CORS policy; pair with VITE_API_BASE_URL= (empty) in .env.development.local.
The dashboard (recharts, ~120 kB gzip), tracing, troubleshoot, actions and bootstrap wizard now load on demand, and the admin panel is split out of the entry chunk so anonymous visitors only download the login page (~134 kB gzip instead of ~557 kB).
