Part 4 of the home network dashboard build. V2 ships a Threat Intelligence tab with 6 in-house heuristics, two free public feeds (URLhaus + Hagezi), and an on-demand RDAP/IPinfo enrichment skill. 161 anomalies surfaced from 45,000 daily DNS queries on the dispatcher's first real-data run. Seven PRs, 603 backend tests, 163 Vitest, 20 Playwright at merge. The marquee story is not the feature, it is the post-merge audit: five bugs that all four CI jobs missed, all five caught only after the dashboard hit production. The gap between "tests pass" and "production works" has a shape and a price, and this post itemizes both.
