dashboard persistence

Dashboard persistence refers to keeping telemetry and state visible across restarts rather than losing it when a stack goes down. The tagged coverage centers on Microsoft Aspire 13.6, released September 29, 2026, whose headline feature is persistent dashboard data: traces, logs and resource snapshots now survive a full restart of the stack. The same release adds authenticated database shells inside the dashboard, first-party Java and Rust hosting packages, a preview of Azure Container Apps Sandboxes as a deployment target, and a prerelease rewrite of how Aspire builds .NET projects. For developers running Aspire's code-first toolchain, dashboard persistence is the change that makes debugging sessions continuous.
