Update to v0.1.18 with per-collector intervals and tmux check

- Implement per-collector interval timing respecting NixOS config
- Remove all hardcoded timeout/interval values and make configurable
- Add tmux session requirement check for TUI mode (bypassed for headless)
- Update agent to send config hash in Build field instead of nixos version
- Add nginx check interval, HTTP timeouts, and ZMQ transmission interval configs
- Update NixOS configuration with new configurable values

Breaking changes:
- Build field now shows nix store config hash (8 chars) instead of nixos version
- All intervals now follow individual collector configuration instead of global

New configuration fields:
- systemd.nginx_check_interval_seconds
- systemd.http_timeout_seconds
- systemd.http_connect_timeout_seconds
- zmq.transmission_interval_seconds

+- ❌ **Inconsistent Output**: Different outputs each time 'R' is pressed
+- ❌ **Limited Output Visibility**: Not capturing all nixos-rebuild progress
+
+**PLANNED SOLUTION - Systemd Service Approach:**
+
+**Problem**: Direct nixos-rebuild execution in agent causes process crashes and inconsistent output.
+
+**Solution**: Create dedicated systemd service for rebuild operations.
+
+**Implementation Plan:**
+1. **NixOS Systemd Service**:
+   ```nix
+   systemd.services.cm-rebuild = {
+     description = "CM Dashboard NixOS Rebuild";
+     serviceConfig = {
+       Type = "oneshot";
+       ExecStart = "${pkgs.nixos-rebuild}/bin/nixos-rebuild switch --flake . --option sandbox false";
+       WorkingDirectory = "/var/lib/cm-dashboard/nixos-config";
+       User = "root";
+       StandardOutput = "journal";
+       StandardError = "journal";
+     };
+   };
+   ```
+
+2. **Agent Modification**:
+   - Replace direct nixos-rebuild execution with: `systemctl start cm-rebuild`
+   - Stream output via: `journalctl -u cm-rebuild -f --no-pager`
+   - Monitor service status for completion detection
+
+3. **Benefits**:
+   - **Process Isolation**: Service runs independently, won't crash agent
+   - **Consistent Output**: Always same deterministic rebuild process
+   - **Proper Logging**: systemd journal handles all output management
+   - **Resource Management**: systemd manages cleanup and resource limits
+   - **Status Tracking**: Can query service status (running/failed/success)
+
+**Next Priority**: Implement systemd service approach for reliable rebuild operations.
+
 **Keyboard Controls Status:**
 - **Services Panel**: 
   - R (restart) ✅ Working

+# Hardcoded Values Removed - Configuration Summary
+
+## ✅ All Hardcoded Values Converted to Configuration
+
+### **1. SystemD Nginx Check Interval**
+- **Before**: `nginx_check_interval_seconds: 30` (hardcoded)
+- **After**: `nginx_check_interval_seconds: config.nginx_check_interval_seconds`
+- **NixOS Config**: `nginx_check_interval_seconds = 30;`
+
+### **2. ZMQ Transmission Interval**  
+- **Before**: `Duration::from_secs(1)` (hardcoded)
+- **After**: `Duration::from_secs(self.config.zmq.transmission_interval_seconds)`
+- **NixOS Config**: `transmission_interval_seconds = 1;`
+
+### **3. HTTP Timeouts in SystemD Collector**
+- **Before**: 
+  ```rust
+  .timeout(Duration::from_secs(10))
+  .connect_timeout(Duration::from_secs(10))
+  ```
+- **After**:
+  ```rust
+  .timeout(Duration::from_secs(self.config.http_timeout_seconds))
+  .connect_timeout(Duration::from_secs(self.config.http_connect_timeout_seconds))
+  ```
+- **NixOS Config**: 
+  ```nix
+  http_timeout_seconds = 10;
+  http_connect_timeout_seconds = 10;
+  ```
+
+## **Configuration Structure Changes**
+
+### **SystemdConfig** (agent/src/config/mod.rs)
+```rust
+pub struct SystemdConfig {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    pub nginx_check_interval_seconds: u64,      // NEW
+    pub http_timeout_seconds: u64,              // NEW
+    pub http_connect_timeout_seconds: u64,      // NEW
+}
+```
+
+### **ZmqConfig** (agent/src/config/mod.rs)
+```rust
+pub struct ZmqConfig {
+    // ... existing fields ...
+    pub transmission_interval_seconds: u64,     // NEW
+}
+```
+
+## **NixOS Configuration Updates**
+
+### **ZMQ Section** (hosts/common/cm-dashboard.nix)
+```nix
+zmq = {
+  # ... existing fields ...
+  transmission_interval_seconds = 1;           # NEW
+};
+```
+
+### **SystemD Section** (hosts/common/cm-dashboard.nix)
+```nix
+systemd = {
+  # ... existing fields ...
+  nginx_check_interval_seconds = 30;           # NEW  
+  http_timeout_seconds = 10;                   # NEW
+  http_connect_timeout_seconds = 10;           # NEW
+};
+```
+
+## **Benefits**
+
+✅ **No hardcoded values** - All timing/timeout values configurable  
+✅ **Consistent configuration** - Everything follows NixOS config pattern  
+✅ **Environment-specific tuning** - Can adjust timeouts per deployment  
+✅ **Maintainability** - No magic numbers scattered in code  
+✅ **Testing flexibility** - Can configure different values for testing  
+
+## **Runtime Behavior**
+
+All previously hardcoded values now respect configuration:
+- **Nginx latency checks**: Every 30s (configurable)
+- **ZMQ transmission**: Every 1s (configurable)  
+- **HTTP requests**: 10s timeout (configurable)
+- **HTTP connections**: 10s timeout (configurable)
+
+The codebase is now **100% configuration-driven** with no hardcoded timing values.
