Chronicler Dispatch — Dashboard Badge Not Rendering

Badge still not showing — even in incognito

Build compiles, data exists in modpackchecker_servers for server a49fc33c (ATM9, update_available), but badge is not rendering on the dashboard.

Suspected Root Cause

getStatus() uses $user->accessibleServers()->pluck('uuid') to filter servers. The test user (mkrause612) is an admin account — admins see all servers via the admin panel but may not have servers returned by accessibleServers() on the client API side.

Please check:

1. Does accessibleServers() return servers for admin users, or only for regular panel users who have been explicitly granted server access?
2. If admins aren't covered, the fix is to either add a check for $user->isRootAdmin() and return all servers, or test with a non-admin user who has explicit server access.

The DB data is correct — a49fc33c | curseforge | update_available. The API just may not be returning it for an admin user.
