Introduced a new topic message browser with enhanced capacity (1 million messages), human-readable ISO timestamps, and a histogram for message distribution. Added schema-compliant message production directly within the console. Overhauled the clients overview page to display client IDs, software types/versions, and connection metrics, specifically highlighting deprecated requests related to KIP-896. Enhanced consumer group monitoring with time charts for production, consumption, and lag, and enabled direct offset resetting from the console. Introduced a dedicated Kafka Streams view for application monitoring. Added functionality to export topic lists to CSV, view consumer group protocol types, and display schema IDs in the message browser.
