No, I did not touch the image, and in SSH, just raspi-config to change the password of the user pi to access it via SSH, configure the keyboard, the region. Basic stuff.
Edit following the release of V4.0.2:
My Gladys instance restarted on its own ??? even though I had not restarted it. It was still in the same state as previously described.
It updated to V4.0.2
