Enable real-time output streaming for nixos-rebuild command

- Replace simulated progress messages with actual stdout/stderr capture
- Stream all nixos-rebuild output line-by-line to terminal popup
- Show transparent build process including downloads, compilation, and activation
- Maintain real-time visibility into complete rebuild process

-## NixOS Configuration Updates
+## Automated Binary Release System
 
-When code changes are made to cm-dashboard, the NixOS configuration at `~/projects/nixosbox` must be updated to deploy the changes.
+**IMPLEMENTED:** cm-dashboard now uses automated binary releases instead of source builds.
 
-### Update Process
+### Release Workflow
 
-1. **Get Latest Commit Hash**
+1. **Automated Release Creation**
+   - Gitea Actions workflow builds static binaries on tag push
+   - Creates release with `cm-dashboard-linux-x86_64.tar.gz` tarball
+   - No manual intervention required for binary generation
 
+2. **Creating New Releases**
    ```bash
-   git log -1 --format="%H"
+   cd ~/projects/cm-dashboard
+   git tag v0.1.X
+   git push origin v0.1.X
    ```
+   
+   This automatically:
+   - Builds static binaries with `RUSTFLAGS="-C target-feature=+crt-static"`
+   - Creates GitHub-style release with tarball
+   - Uploads binaries via Gitea API
 
-2. **Update NixOS Configuration**
+3. **NixOS Configuration Updates**
    Edit `~/projects/nixosbox/hosts/common/cm-dashboard.nix`:
 
    ```nix
-   src = pkgs.fetchgit {
-     url = "https://gitea.cmtec.se/cm/cm-dashboard.git";
-     rev = "NEW_COMMIT_HASH_HERE";
-     sha256 = "sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA="; # Placeholder
+   version = "v0.1.X";
+   src = pkgs.fetchurl {
+     url = "https://gitea.cmtec.se/cm/cm-dashboard/releases/download/${version}/cm-dashboard-linux-x86_64.tar.gz";
+     sha256 = "sha256-NEW_HASH_HERE";
    };
    ```
 
-3. **Get Correct Source Hash**
-   Build with placeholder hash to get the actual hash:
-
+4. **Get Release Hash**
    ```bash
    cd ~/projects/nixosbox
-   nix-build --no-out-link -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; fetchgit {
-     url = "https://gitea.cmtec.se/cm/cm-dashboard.git";
-     rev = "NEW_COMMIT_HASH";
+   nix-build --no-out-link -E 'with import <nixpkgs> {}; fetchurl {
+     url = "https://gitea.cmtec.se/cm/cm-dashboard/releases/download/v0.1.X/cm-dashboard-linux-x86_64.tar.gz";
      sha256 = "sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=";
    }' 2>&1 | grep "got:"
    ```
 
-   Example output:
-
-   ```
-   error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/...':
-            specified: sha256-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
-               got:    sha256-x8crxNusOUYRrkP9mYEOG+Ga3JCPIdJLkEAc5P1ZxdQ=
-   ```
-
-4. **Update Configuration with Correct Hash**
-   Replace the placeholder with the hash from the error message (the "got:" line).
-
-5. **Commit NixOS Configuration**
-
+5. **Commit and Deploy**
    ```bash
    cd ~/projects/nixosbox
    git add hosts/common/cm-dashboard.nix
-   git commit -m "Update cm-dashboard to latest version (SHORT_HASH)"
+   git commit -m "Update cm-dashboard to v0.1.X with static binaries"
    git push
    ```
 
-6. **Rebuild System**
-   The user handles the system rebuild step - this cannot be automated.
+### Benefits
+
+- **No compilation overhead** on each host
+- **Consistent static binaries** across all hosts
+- **Faster deployments** - download vs compile
+- **No library dependency issues** - static linking
+- **Automated pipeline** - tag push triggers everything
