 - Add a WebSocket status indicator to the right of the title, before the theme toggle:
-  - A `v-chip` or icon+dot combination showing three states:
-    - **Connected:** small green dot (`color="success"`) + tooltip "Connected"
-    - **Connecting:** amber dot with CSS pulse animation + tooltip "Connecting…"
-    - **Disconnected:** red dot + tooltip "Disconnected — real-time updates paused"

 ### Downloads (`frontend/src/views/Downloads.vue`)
-- Add an `exclude_superseded` toggle to the filters row: a `v-switch` or `v-chip` labelled "Hide superseded failures" that adds `exclude_superseded: true` to the fetch params when active. Defaults to `true` (consistent with the dashboard behaviour).
-- No table layout changes.
+- Add an `exclude_superseded` filter toggle below the existing four filter columns (the current row is already full-width with four `md="3"` columns). Add a new `v-row` directly below the existing filter row containing a single `v-col cols="12"` with a `v-switch` labelled "Hide superseded failures", `density="compact"`, `hide-details`, defaulting to `true`. When true, adds `exclude_superseded: true` to the `loadDownloads()` params.
+- The existing four filter columns are unchanged.
 
 ### Credentials (`frontend/src/views/Credentials.vue`)
 Two visual states for platform cards:
 
 **Configured:** Card gets `border-color` set to the success colour via inline style or a CSS class. Existing content unchanged.
 
-**Not configured:** Card gets a dashed border (`border: 2px dashed`), the `v-alert` info block is replaced with a concise empty-state message, and the "Add Credentials" button is promoted to `color="primary" variant="flat"` (currently `variant="text"`), making the call to action visually prominent.
+**Not configured:** Card gets a dashed border via `:style="{ border: '2px dashed var(--v-border-color)' }"` and `:border="false"` to override the global VCard `border: true` default. (`--v-border-color` is a hex value, not an RGB triplet, so it must be used directly without `rgb()` wrapping.) The `v-alert` info block is replaced with a concise empty-state message, and the "Add Credentials" button is promoted to `color="primary" variant="flat"` (currently `variant="text"`), making the call to action visually prominent.
 
 ### Settings & Logs
 No structural changes — both pages inherit the new palette and card border style from the vuetify.js update automatically.
