Summary
Root cause
macOS Terminal tracks short-lived descendant processes for its active-process title. Moving each Podman poll into another process group or session was not sufficient, so the three-second dashboard refresh still made the title alternate between
podmanandomnideck.The dashboard now reads inspect and stats data directly from
$TMPDIR/podman/omnideck-runtime-api.sock, which removes the periodic Podman child process while preserving the same status, health, restart, CPU, and memory updates.Impact
The macOS title remains stable while dashboard resources continue updating every three seconds. Linux and Windows continue using the existing CLI-backed implementation.
