 ## Built — admin Reports dashboard v1 (2026-06-22)

-on-demand **dashboard** (not a live feed). Server aggregates everything in **one call**
+A first cut shipped: an admin **Reports** screen — a **top-level section** at **`/reports`** with its
+own header nav entry (not nested under Setup), gated on `report:read` — an on-demand **dashboard**
+(not a live feed). Server aggregates everything in **one call**
 (`GET /api/reports/summary?from&to&bucket`) so the SPA only renders; `…/summary.csv` exports the
 per-bucket series. Code: `apps/server/src/reports.ts` (+ `routes/reports.ts`), `apps/web/src/Reports.tsx`.
