Changes compared to 26.7.1

Enhancements

Improved the layout of field rows on narrow screens throughout the Comet Management Console, giving input boxes and drop-downs around 80px more width in dialogs such as Remote Server, Restore, Code-signing and Storage Vault location (#6179)

Fixed proxmox VM disk backups leaving COW overlay files on the host if a backup was interrupted and moved overlays off /tmp (#6061)
Fixed an issue that prevented pasting from the clipboard into the elevated login prompt of the Comet Backup desktop app on macOS (#6066)
Fixed a SIGILL crash when running Comet on Synology devices with Marvell Armada XP CPUs (COMET-59173) (#6093)
Fixed a performance issue with backup job completion API calls on heavily loaded Comet Management Console servers (COMET-60303) (#6101)
Fixed an issue where the first retention pass on a newly-initialized Storage Vault could not run concurrently with backup jobs, repeatedly failing with "Cannot proceed - another task needs to finish using the Storage Vault first" on busy vaults until a fully idle window allowed the first cleanup to complete (#6128)
Fixed Comet Server crashing repeatedly on startup when running without the Authentication role, such as a dedicated Storage Gateway or Cluster Manager node (#6170)
Fixed the "Address" field of the Remote Server dialog, the "Server" field of the VMware Protected Item and VMware restore dialogs, and the "Hostname" field of the S3 Compatible Storage Vault dialog in the Comet Management Console being collapsed to a few pixels wide, and therefore unreadable, on a narrow screen such as a mobile phone (#6177)
