Tray and services

Open Lifecycle in Browser - staff hostname (or localhost if none is configured).

Service Status - Lifecycle, LifecycleWatch, LifecycleFrontend, LifecycleTunnel. The tooltip shows Running, Stopped, Starting, or Stopping while the icon stays the Lifecycle logo.

Start Services / Restart Services - bring the stack up or recycle it.

Safe Shutdown - pauses LifecycleWatch, asks the desk to flush its database, then stops frontend and tunnel. Prefer this over stopping Lifecycle while the watchdog is running. Exit Tray Control closes the icon only; services keep running.

Auto-rebuild on new commit - about every three minutes, checks origin/main; on a new commit it safely rebuilds. The checkbox is saved locally.

Check for updates - runs the check immediately and can apply a waiting commit.
