June 2025 (2025-06) monthly summary for BastilleBSD/bastille. Delivered UI simplification for ZFS snapshot management and enhanced batch snapshot robustness, enabling safer and more scalable operations. ZFS Snapshot Management UI Simplification removed the --dryrun option; functionality previously provided by dryrun is now surfaced via the list command, consolidating snapshot management features. Batch Snapshot Creation Robustness introduced a one-second safety delay, removed redundant warnings, added validation, and adjusted snapshot naming to include jail name for better traceability. These changes reduce operational risk, improve automation reliability, and enhance user experience for snapshot workflows. Key commits include d6a9848354d9071dc158c0038f1937258ea5de0f for UI simplification, and e953aea373ffe9d4e45fc3a7fe0826a6e2cf7ae9, 3d5c76c1469187135830654591546b67b4311f25, 72e9bae7f258530d6088e1369bb6276466c20eb7 for batch robustness and validation.
