- Added support for multiple image variants (CPU, CUDA 12.8, CUDA 12.6) in the Docker build workflow.
- Updated Docker Compose configuration to utilize the new SURFSENSE_VARIANT environment variable for selecting image variants.
- Enhanced documentation to clarify usage of backend image variants and their corresponding environment variable settings.
The active "AI Automations" announcement (2026-05-31 -> 2026-07-15) renders
a blocking AnnouncementSpotlight dialog whose full-screen overlay intercepts
all clicks for the freshly-registered e2e user, breaking every UI-driven
journey (e.g. the file-upload upload button). Pre-seed the localStorage flags
that gate the new-user overlays before saving storageState:
- surfsense_announcements_state: mark all announcements read + toasted
(sourced from announcements-data so future entries are covered).
- surfsense-tour-<userId>: suppress the OnboardingTour spotlight.
Restores the Journey suite (file-upload markdown + PDF round-trips now green).
- Adjusted the structure of the ThreadWelcome component to enhance layout consistency across different screen sizes.
- Updated CSS classes to ensure proper alignment and spacing for the welcome message and composer, improving overall user experience.
