Add user-configurable timezone and 12/24-hour preferences, then wire them through settings, runtime snapshots, scheduler payloads, wait handling, notifications, backups, memory, plugin metadata, and frontend formatters.
Keep UTC as the boundary for absolute instants while serializing user-facing dates in the configured or browser-resolved timezone. Preserve scheduler wall-clock inputs in the selected timezone, propagate TZ into desktop/runtime process environments, and restart active desktop sessions when the runtime timezone changes.
Cover the risky paths with timezone regression tests for settings normalization, auto and fixed timezone resolution, scheduler round-trips, memory timestamp conversion, and desktop timezone sync.
- Add LATEST_SELECTOR_TAG constant and is_latest_selector_tag helper to identify "latest" selection
- Add split_describe_version helper to parse git describe output into tag and commit count
- Replace fetch_release_refs with resolve_requested_target that handles both specific tags and "latest" resolution
- For main branch, resolve "latest" to newest reachable release tag
- For testing/development branches
Add robust plugin name derivation and clean up API helper code.
- helpers/git.py: add giturlparse dependency and extract_author_repo(url) to reliably extract owner/repo from git URLs (strips auth and validates).
- plugins/plugin_installer/helpers/install.py: replace the old sanitize function with two derivation helpers: _derive_git_plugin_name (normalizes owner/repo into a safe plugin ID) and _derive_zip_plugin_name (determine name from zip contents or uploaded filename). Import regex and use extract_author_repo; switch import to clear_plugin_cache and remove redundant cache clears on intermediate failures.
- requirements.txt: add giturlparse==0.14.0.
- webui/js/api.js: deduplicate and move extensions/URL normalization helpers, add redirect(response) helper to centralize login redirect handling, normalize CSRF cookie secure flag formatting, and minor whitespace/logic cleanup.
These changes improve reliability of plugin ID inference from git URLs/archives and simplify/centralize client-side API helper logic.
