Discovery Workflow & Topology Fixes

This release focuses on smoother discovery setup and improved clarity for credential handling, with several important fixes for network topology display.

New Features

Allow socket-based credentials in the discovery picker and enforce daemon minimum version to ensure only supported credentials are sent to the daemon running the scan, making mixed-environment onboarding simpler (#650).

Improvements

Generalize container bridge merging and topology grouping beyond Docker, so users running Podman or other runtimes see unified groups and links (#653).
Clarify copy and rule descriptions for topology grouping and container bridge merging, making network maps and groupings less confusing (#653).

Bug Fixes

Fix L2 topology switches that could vanish after rescan, ensuring all hardware switches remain visible as expected (#649).
Scope daemon-host credential assignments to the loopback IP, preventing accidental leaking of credentials to other endpoints (#650).
Fix broken documentation anchors and add live testing to prevent future broken doc links (#655).
