Bugfixes

• Fixed issue where the update\_config background task could launch multiple times concurrently #1128.
• Enforced SSH command timeout in Paramiko. Previously, Paramiko ignored the configured command timeout.
• Fixed incorrect label for device group filter in the device list #1071.
• Added default kwarg support for unique nullable fields.
• Fixed REST API access for non-superusers in DeviceConnection and Command endpoints. Previously, organization admins encountered a 500 server error when retrieving command details.
• Avoided re-populating the VPN peers cache in post\_save. Previously, VpnClient.post\_save repopulated the peer cache immediately, causing slow or timed-out uWSGI requests for large peer sets. Now, it only invalidates the cache, which is later repopulated by the background task.
