 - [x] **BACK-01** — Add system monitoring RPC endpoints. Create `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/system.rs` with handlers for: `system.stats` (CPU usage, RAM used/total, disk used/total, uptime, load average), `system.processes` (top 10 by CPU), `system.temperature` (if available). Read from `/proc/stat`, `/proc/meminfo`, `/proc/uptime`, `df`, and `/sys/class/thermal/` on Linux. Register in `core/archipelago/src/api/rpc/mod.rs` route table. **Acceptance**: `curl -X POST http://localhost:5678/rpc/v1 -d '{"method":"system.stats"}'` returns real metrics on dev server.
 
-- [ ] **BACK-02** — Add system monitoring to frontend Dashboard. In `neode-ui/src/views/Home.vue`, add a system stats section (CPU, RAM, Disk gauges) that calls `system.stats` RPC on mount and refreshes every 30s. Use `bg-white/5 rounded-lg` sub-cards inside an existing glass container. Show percentage bars with color coding (green <70%, orange 70-90%, red >90%). **Acceptance**: Dashboard shows real CPU/RAM/Disk usage. Deploy and verify.

 - [ ] **BACK-03** — Add WiFi/Ethernet configuration RPC endpoints. Create `core/archipelago/src/network/interfaces.rs` with: `network.list-interfaces` (lists eth0, wlan0, etc. with IP, MAC, status), `network.configure-wifi` (SSID, password, connects via `nmcli`), `network.configure-ethernet` (static IP or DHCP via `nmcli`), `network.scan-wifi` (available networks). Register in RPC router. **Acceptance**: `network.list-interfaces` returns real interface data on dev server.
