The README screenshots were from February 2026 and had drifted out of date: the hero image was the deprecated Full Dashboard, and the "Lite Query Performance" shot predated the current tab layout. This recaptures the set live.

What changed

  • Hero: the fleet overview catching a Critical server (live blocking + deadlocks) instead of the old deprecated-Dashboard all-green shot.
  • New sections for features the README described but never illustrated: FinOps (right-sizing), Recommendations (advise-and-act), Fleet Sweeps, Blocking & deadlocks, and custom-view dashboards.
  • Removed the tiny alert-toast image (replaced by a richer Alert History view) and three unreferenced deprecated-Dashboard images.
  • Kept the Graphical Plan Viewer and MCP-analysis shots.

How they were captured

All shots are live while a HammerDB TPC-C workload ran on a monitored server, so the product is shown working a real incident rather than idle. FinOps and Recommendations are the desktop Viewer; the rest are the Darling web dashboard. New file names are ASCII, hyphenated, and space-free (the CI paths-filter previously noted the space-carrying names).

Follow-ups worth a future pass (not in this PR)

  • Interactive deadlock graph and a populated Plan Viewer (need a live query/incident driven in the desktop app).
  • Dark/light theme pair and a styled HTML alert email.

…res that had none

The screenshots were from February 2026 and had drifted: the hero was the
deprecated Full Dashboard, and the "Lite Query Performance" shot predated the
current tab layout. Recapture everything live while a HammerDB TPC-C workload
ran on a monitored server, so the fleet is shown catching a real incident (one
server Critical with blocking and deadlocks) rather than sitting idle.

- Hero: the fleet overview flagging a Critical server, replacing the deprecated
  Full Dashboard shot.
- New sections for features the README described but never illustrated: FinOps,
  Recommendations (advise-and-act), Fleet Sweeps, Blocking & deadlocks, and
  custom-view dashboards.
- Drop the tiny alert-toast image (replaced by a richer Alert History view) and
  three unreferenced deprecated-Dashboard images.
- Keep the Graphical Plan Viewer and MCP-analysis shots.

FinOps and Recommendations are the desktop viewer; the rest are the Darling web
dashboard. File names are ASCII, hyphenated, and space-free.
