KernelCI Dashboard Report - Jan 05 - Jan 16, 2026

Hello everyone,

Over the last two weeks we focused on improving the ingester's
execution model, fixing a couple of backend query/helper edge cases
affecting tree listing and hardware details, and strengthening overall
quality by adding E2E testing infrastructure and additional backend
unit tests.

We also worked on a document to structure/suggest some improvements on
the dashboard, it can be checked here:
