I'll start by reviewing the progress file and understanding the existing codebase structure.

Now wire the CLI flag to the `TrackerServer` parameter explicitly (it currently only sets the env var):

Before writing tests, check the pytest config — the class name `TestRunManager` could trigger collection warnings in the test module:
[94m[Bash][0m Check pytest config in pyproject $ grep -n -A15 "pytest" pyproject.toml | head -40
[94m[Write][0m [95m/run/media/popov/d/DEV/repos/d-popov.com/AI/tests/test_tracker_test_runner.py[0m """"dashboard-test-runner US-001: opt-in, admin-only tracker test-runner API.

Now run the new test file:
[94m[Bash][0m Run new test-runner API tests $ uv run pytest tests/test_tracker_test_runner.py -q 2>&1 | tail -20
All 14 new tests pass. Now the acceptance-criteria suite plus a CLI `--help` sanity check:

Now the `/v1/models` fix — stop suppressing the node-derived hf-repo entry when a preset shares that repo:
[94m[Edit][0m [95m/run/media/popov/d/DEV/repos/d-popov.com/AI/packages/tracker/meshnet_tracker/server.py[0m edit: "            seen_ids.add(name)

            # Note:..."
And the favicon fix — the dashboard test requires the string "meshnet" in the SVG:
[94m[Bash][0m View favicon opening tag $ head -c 300 packages/tracker/meshnet_tracker/favicon.svg
[94m[Bash][0m Add meshnet title to favicon SVG $ python3 - <<'EOF' from pathlib import Path p = Path("packages/tracker/meshnet_tracker/favicon.svg") ...

Auth passes now; the load returns 409 (no eligible node found). Let me debug `_memory_pool_map`/capacity for that registration:

Those 3 fail on the clean tree too — pre-existing and outside this story's scope. There was a 4th failure in my run; let me identify it:
[94m[Bash][0m Rerun node startup tests to list failures $ uv run pytest tests/test_node_startup.py -q 2>&1 | grep -E "FAILED|failed|passed" | tail -5
