 - Test runs automatically after saving a new or updated upstream source (#107)
-- Error states in upstream sources table are now clickable to show full error details in a modal (#107)
+- Test status now shows as colored dots (green=success, red=error) instead of text badges (#107)
+- Clicking red dot shows error details in a modal (#107)
 - Source name column no longer wraps text for better table layout (#107)
+- Renamed "Cache Management" page to "Upstream Sources" (#107)
