June 2025: Implemented AdGuard Home Unified Service Manager integration, refactoring the CLI to route through the new service manager and a unified signal handler, centralizing AdGuard Home services (web and DNS) under a single orchestration layer. Updated dependencies to align with the new architecture and removed legacy signal handling logic to reduce complexity. This work improves operational reliability, simplifies monitoring and deployment, and lays a scalable foundation for future service-centric enhancements.
