[Bug]: Couldn't stop the agent on macOS (already running)
Bug description
Agent does not shutdown even I run sudo /usr/local/netdata/usr/sbin/netdatacli shutdown-agent command several times. I couldn't understand why it doesn't shutdown. When I run second time of the following command:
$ sudo /usr/local/netdata/usr/sbin/netdatacli shutdown-agent
uv_pipe_connect(): connection refused
Make sure the netdata service is running.
It says Make sure the netdata service is running.. But it's already running:

### How to install a plugin? (smartd_log)
Reading the [documentation](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/Add-more-charts-to-netdata.md) regarding adding more charts to netdata, it does not specifically mention how plugins can be installed and activated on Netdata.
Specifically I am interested on the [smartd_log](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/smartd_log) plugin, but neither the [plugin readme](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/tree/master/collectors/python.d.plugin/smartd_

Tech refinement for agent claiming
There are some problems in implementing https://github.com/netdata/netdata/issues/7086 .
There is the problem of authenticating the netdata agent identification. MACHINE_GUID is not enough because:
- MACHINE_GUID is not a secret, it can be visible in the network or known to other users. Thus it is not secure. Malicious netdata agents can copy the MACHINE_GUID and connect to netdata cloud hosts without authorization. Moreover, the original netdata agent will be locked out of netdata cloud whi

Use BabelJS to transpile dashboard.js and main.js to ES3
Some of our users run the Netdata Web GUI in older browsers (e.g. #4710). These browsers do not support modern (ES6+) JavaScript Features (e.g. for-of, const, etc.) A good solution would be to leverage a transpiler like BabelJS to compile dashboard.js and main.js into ES3 (or ES5, as BabelJS seems to support only ES5).
An alternative would be to use TypeScript's compiler for this transpilation.
Feature idea summary
For the basic "System Overview" (i.e. the gauges)
I would expect that they would be color coded

Groom Inform Cloud about ACLK failure after claiming
Feature idea summary
Product Ask:
- "Claim for 1st time. If the claiming is successful but the ACLK is not established we should provide hints to the user and if possible send a hint to the Cloud so additional info can be presented to the Cloud users"
Expected behavior
On Cloud we should be able to show different messages for Unreachable agents:
- ACLK dependencies are not installed
- No connectivity to Cloud
- Offline
- Initiation phase

Implement SOCKS5 support for the ACLK
Feature idea summary
ACLK connection to VerneMQ should be able to be proxied through SOCKS5 proxy. Netdata should accept the standard environmental variable for setting the proxy. This should be overwritten by a setting from the config file if found.
- Define the config setting.
- Testing will be via
ssh -D.
Testing configuration will be:
- Fedora on the host where ssh -D is running.
- A VM which is running the target sshd and VerneMQ - where VerneMQ is not accessible directl
