These SparkBox updates are now available: v1.6.691 — Dashboard audit batch: honest backup coverage, visible retry, keyboard navigation, local archives; Enter respects Cancel - Two dashboard fixes from this weekend's audit. Pressing Enter while the Cancel button was highlighted in a confirmation dialog used to run the action anyway; Enter now does what the highlighted button says, and Escape still cancels. And installing Hearth or TomSparkCal could end with "installed but not running yet" even though the app was healthy, because those apps are reached through the proxy rather than a LAN port and the installer was only looking at LAN ports; it now watches the container itself, so a healthy install finishes as Running. - Dashboard fixes from this weekend's audit, second batch. The Backup Center now says what an archive really covers: "Configuration + app data" normally, "Partial backup" with the excluded items listed when the media library is left out, and Help no longer promises that a dead drive never loses your photos. Panes that failed to load used to sit blank forever; they now show "Couldn't load — Retry", the update-schedule switch shows an unknown state instead of Off when its read fails, and a failed backup shows the real reason (disk space, permissions). The sidebar is keyboard-navigable: real links you can Tab to, Enter and Space work, the current page is announced, app and settings switches have names for screen readers, plus a skip-to-content link and a visible focus ring. The Backblaze links in backup setup are readable on the dark theme. "Access from anywhere" now opens the guided setup instead of a Network panel with no wizard. The Backup pane lists your local archives with Download and Restore. Help no longer says "all without the cloud"; the licence pane can show an Ultimate badge. Under the hood, two dashboard functions shared a name so the Overview's network-exposure fields never filled in; that is fixed and a test now rejects duplicate names. Update from the SparkBox dashboard, or run sudo sparkbox upgrade on your SparkBox host. If a problem remains after updating, submit a private support ticket or reply here. Include your SparkBox version and what you see; leave passwords and licence keys out.
