### Important

- **.NET 10 upgrade** — Dashboard, Lite, Installer, and Installer.Core now target `net10.0` (Windows projects target `net10.0-windows`). Building from source now requires the .NET 10 SDK; CI is pinned to 10.0.204 via `global.json` for reproducible builds. End users running prebuilt Velopack installers do not need to install anything separately — runtime is bundled ([#958])
- **Dashboard and Lite ship via Setup.exe only** — portable ZIP artifacts have been dropped from the Dashboard and Lite release pipeline. Velopack `Setup.exe` is the only Dashboard/Lite release artifact and now correctly registers the apps under Apps & Features and creates Start Menu shortcuts. The Installer ZIP (CLI installer + SQL scripts) is unchanged. Users upgrading from a portable ZIP install should uninstall the ZIP version and reinstall via `Setup.exe`
- **Setup.exe is now the recommended install path** for Dashboard and Lite — the README steers users to the Velopack `Setup.exe`, which installs to `%LocalAppData%`, registers the apps under Apps & Features, creates Start Menu and Desktop shortcuts, and wires up auto-update. Portable ZIPs are still produced for both apps (CI release pipeline and local build scripts) as a fallback for advanced or air-gapped users. The Installer ZIP (CLI installer + SQL scripts) is unchanged
- **Shared `servers.json` location** — Dashboard and Lite now store `servers.json` under `%ProgramData%\PerformanceMonitor{Dashboard,Lite}\` so every Windows user on the same machine shares one server list. First run migrates an existing per-user `servers.json` to the new location and grants Authenticated Users Modify on the directory. SQL credentials remain per-user in Windows Credential Manager — each DBA re-enters SQL passwords on first connect; Windows Auth works with no re-entry
