style=\"margin:0;line-height:1.8;color:#e0e0e0;\">\n<span style=\"color:#c678dd;\">Phase 1: Server-Side Storage</span>\n├── Create <span style=\"color:#e5c07b;\">system-events-store.ts</span> (JSONL append/query)\n├── Add <span style=\"color:#e5c07b;\">POST /api/gv/system-events</span> (create event)\n└── Add <span style=\"color:#e5c07b;\">GET /api/gv/system-events</span> (query with time range)\n\n<span style=\"color:#c678dd;\">Phase 2: Startup Broadcasts</span>\n├── <span style=\"color:#98c379;\">konui main.ts</span>: On startup, wait 3s, write restart event\n├── <span style=\"color:#98c379;\">konsole main.ts</span>: On startup, call konui API to write event\n└── Both services broadcast via WebSocket after write\n\n<span style=\"color:#c678dd;\">Phase 3: Timeline Integration</span>\n├── Timeline loads system events from API (alongside kontasks)\n├── Merge system events into timeline by timestamp\n├── Grey markers rendered inline with kontask items\n└── Remove client-local <span style=\"color:#e06c75;\">systemEvents</span> array\n\n<span style=\"color:#c678dd;\">Phase 4: Client Notifications (Simplified)</span>\n├── Admin notifications remain for <span style=\"color:#e5c07b;\">emergency debugging</span>\n├── Toast popups only for critical errors\n└── Timeline becomes authoritative source for system history\n</pre>\n</div>\n\n<div
