### Added
- A help icon (❓) in the top-right header now deep-links to the doc most relevant to the current page (falls back to the docs index elsewhere).
- The in-app docs viewer (`/docs`) is now searchable — a simple line-substring search over the same local doc set, no new dependency, still works with no internet access.
Bumps to v1.1.10.
### Added
- The host list now shows who created each host, and when.
