System readings in Soltex
Showing stale readings, missing data and update previews in Soltex.
Soltex labels readings as current, stale, partial or unavailable. A previous value can still be useful, but it should be distinguishable from a fresh reading.
The update planner checks signed packages and previews their effects. It does not install or execute the package.
Those states are part of the interface: the app needs to show both the information it has and what remains unknown.
