Decision - Kai has decided to decommission personal-dashboard. The custom data stays, the custom chrome goes.

Plan:

Keep the data already produced - catalog-graph.yaml and the per-repo catalog: blocks.
Adapt that data to the schema of an off-the-shelf self-hosted dashboard.
Self-host the dashboard on k3s, install it to the Mac dock as a PWA (Safari 17+ Add to Dock).

Options:

Glance - single Go binary, YAML config, built-in monitor widget. Matches Kai taste.
Homepage - service-tile oriented, large widget library.
Homarr, Dashy - other candidates.

Recommendation: Glance. Go binary plus YAML, and the monitor widget covers some endpoint watching too.

Note: personal-dashboard currently runs as a systemd unit (coily ops personal-dashboard).

Origin: self-hosted chat sweep, 2026-05-21.

Backlog burndown 2026-06-17: closing low-priority (P3/P4) to bring the open count to a manageable level. Nothing lost — reopen if this resurfaces. Batch tag: burndown-2026-06.
