Explore Development Summary section

The Development Summary section offers a snapshot of the currently opened app's latest changes, including:

• Last modification date & author;
• Soterre deployment timestamp & the number of deployment events;
• The most recent QSDA Pro inspection & the number of QSDA Pro flags;

• QSDA Pro inspection suggestion.
