fix(deploy): fix redeploy button broken by JSON.stringify double quotes

JSON.stringify('Name') produces "Name" with double quotes which breaks
the onclick attribute. Use data-customer-name attribute instead and
read it via this.dataset.customerName to avoid quoting issues.

 ### Monitoring
 
-The dashboard shows:
+The **Monitoring** page shows:
 - **System Overview** — Total customers, active/inactive, errors
-- **Resource Usage** — RAM, CPU per container
-- **Container Health** — Running/stopped per container with color-coded status
-- **Deployment Logs** — Action history per customer
+- **Host Resources** — CPU, RAM, disk usage of the host machine
+- **Customer Status** — Container health per customer (running/stopped)
+- **NetBird Container Updates** — Compare local image digests against Docker Hub, pull new images, and update all outdated customer containers
+
+### NetBird Container Updates
+
+#### Workflow
+
+1. **Check for updates** — Go to **Monitoring > NetBird Container Updates**, click **"Check Updates"**
+   - Compares local image digests against Docker Hub
+   - Shows which images have a new version available
+   - Shows which customer containers are running outdated images
+   - An orange badge appears next to customers in the dashboard list that need updating
+
+2. **Pull new images** — Go to **Settings > NetBird Docker Images**, click **"Pull from Docker Hub"**
+   - Pulls all 4 NetBird images (`management`, `signal`, `relay`, `dashboard`) in the background
+   - Wait for the pull to complete before updating customers
+
+3. **Update customers** — Return to **Monitoring > NetBird Container Updates**, click **"Update All Customers"**
+   - Recreates containers for all customers whose running image is outdated
+   - Customers are updated **sequentially** — one at a time
+   - All bind-mounted volumes (database, keys, config) are preserved — **no data loss**
+   - A per-customer results table is shown after completion
+
+#### Per-Customer Update
+
+To update a single customer:
+1. Open the customer detail view
+2. Go to the **Deployment** tab
+3. Click **"Update Images"**
+
+#### Update Badges
+
+The dashboard customer list shows an orange **"Update"** badge next to any customer whose running containers are using an outdated local image. This check is fast (local-only, no network call) and runs automatically when the dashboard loads.

-2. Change image tags (e.g., `netbirdio/management:0.35.0`)
-3. Click "Save"
-4. Re-deploy individual customers to apply the new images
+NetBird image updates are managed entirely through the Web UI — no manual config changes required.

+3. Wait for the pull to complete (progress shown inline)
+
+#### Step 2 — Check which customers need updating

+2. Click **"Check Updates"**
+3. The table shows per-image Hub vs. local digest comparison and which customers are running outdated containers
