Full Deep Archive administration via GUI

Current GUI is tech-preview only (no task detail, no performance graphs, no user/bucket creation); everything is CLI-only today

    The current GUI should not just be a technology preview with limited subset of the administration and monitoring capabilities available through the CLI.

    This is particularly relevant when comparing Deep Archive with other enterprise storage platforms. Quantum StorNext and Quantum ActiveScale, for example, provide mature and comprehensive GUI-based administration and monitoring capabilities rather than relying primarily on CLI operations.

    For an enterprise storage product, the GUI should provide functional parity with the CLI for the main operational and administrative tasks, including node and service management, task monitoring and details, performance and capacity monitoring, user and bucket administration, configuration, alerts, and troubleshooting.
