Ozark-Connect/NetworkOptimizer v1.15.3 on GitHub

More fixes and improvements for Adaptive SQM and gateway compatibility. See v1.15.0 release notes for what's new in v1.15.0+

Adaptive SQM

GPON/XGS-PON afternoon relief window - Congestion profiles now model the 3-5 PM commute gap where usage dips before the evening streaming peak. Baselines also interpolate between hours at 15-minute intervals for smoother rate transitions instead of stepping hourly.
Gateway netcat compatibility - SQM deploy now installs netcat-openbsd on gateways that only have the busybox version (e.g., UXG-Fiber). Busybox nc lacks the -q flag needed for clean connection teardown on the TC monitor endpoint.

Fixes

UniFi OS Server boolean parsing - UniFi OS Server returns some network config fields as strings ("true") instead of native booleans, which broke device discovery, AP fetching, wireless clients, and WAN interface detection. Added a flexible converter to handle both formats.
Hardware Acceleration severity - Upgraded from Info to Recommendation with a clearer description about the SFE fast forwarding path impact.
