 ## Cached and stored state
 - `StandaloneDocker`/`SwarmDocker` `server` uses `Server::findCached()`, a per-process identity map that is flushed only when the `servers` row updates. A `ServerSetting` save does not flush it, so pass the current `Server` instance (`setRelation('server', $server)`) when generated output depends on just-saved settings.
 - Application deployments use the stored `custom_labels` when they exist. When a server-level setting changes the generated labels, regenerate the stored labels of read-only (`is_container_label_readonly_enabled`) applications, or a redeploy keeps the old labels.

+## Keep browser form restore away from app state
+- Firefox session restore writes saved input values back and fires a trusted `input` event. Add `autocomplete="off"` to inputs that only mirror client state (for example an Alpine-bound color picker), or their handlers run without a user action.
