Console and deployment improvements for smoother workflows

We've shipped several improvements to fix broken flows and clean up the developer experience across Sites, Functions, and the Appwrite Console.

What's new

• When creating Sites or Functions, the default Git branch now auto-suggests your GitHub default branch (not the first one).

• Site screenshots now use the Storage API preview route.

• The Git deployment modal now auto-fills your production branch.

• Emails now include preview text for better notification previews.

• Domain validation status now updates in realtime.

Fixes

• No more double Git deployments.

• Git-related issues no longer cause build failures.

• Site settings now save correctly even if the first deployment fails.

• Deployment activation now reflects properly in realtime.

• DB filters now work as expected.

• Broken links to API keys path are now fixed.

• Console no longer adds a null header when executing functions.

• Fixed a bug where Console project URLs showed "undefined" in self-hosted environments.

• Multiple UI alignment and responsiveness issues resolved.

These improvements are now live on Appwrite Cloud, and we'd love to hear about your experience with them.
