ADR 0004: Ship the Dashboard as an Optional Module

Status

Accepted

Context

Operators need to inspect outbox and inbox state and occasionally trigger manual actions. Not every application should expose an admin surface, and dashboard security belongs to the host application.

Decision

CAP ships dashboard functionality as a separate optional package, @mikara89/cap-dashboard-nest. Applications opt in by importing CapDashboardModule and must provide a NestJS guard.

Consequences

Core messaging does not depend on dashboard code.
Applications can omit the dashboard entirely.
Dashboard endpoints can reuse the existing storage abstractions.
The dashboard package must document its security and operational risks clearly.
