OPVS v1.1.0 — A desk you can name, pause and recognise

A workstation is the Linux desk an OPVS builder works at. Until now it could be ordered, watched and released, but never edited: the API accepted a rename and no screen ever called it. Version 1.1.0 wires the write side.

What's new in v1.1.0

  • A desk can be renamed, and it now carries a role line and a face. Name and description are editable from the desk's own page, and a photo can be uploaded, replaced or cleared. Before this a mistyped name was permanent, fixable only in the database.
  • Suspend and resume live on the desk, not in the database. Suspending holds through health polling rather than being overwritten by it. Resuming returns the desk to provisioned, so it turns active only once its sidecar answers, and unreachable after three missed checks.
  • Releasing a desk is done from the desk itself. The control used to exist only on two other screens, neither of them the desk. It now sits beside the identity panel behind a two step confirmation that names the desk being released.
  • Four facts that were already in every response now have somewhere to appear. The short id a person can say aloud, the region, the VPS provider and the count of pending file syncs are rendered on the desk page and in the fleet list.

A desk now reads as a named colleague with a face and a state, instead of a hostname nobody can correct.
