+**Config UX round 2.** The Configuration view is regrouped around logical
+sections (not one-per-service), the telegram/ntfy event toggles collapse into
+nested groups, and fields the control gate can't commit — pruning, data
+directories, secrets — are greyed out with a host-only note instead of failing
+at commit. The energy calculator's net profit now folds in Tari revenue, not
+just P2Pool XMR. Alongside the features, a coverage push added the failover and
+privacy behaviors that were previously real-hardware-only: a fake monerod in
+the CI mini-stack (monerod-down/busy/double-outage failover, Tari-optional
+keeps mining), and tier-4 fault-injection for Tor-down, cosign verification,
+clock drift, and ENOSPC — which surfaced and fixed a real gap where `doctor`
+reported all-clear while the Tor privacy backbone was down.
