## 📈 DASHBOARD MVP & PHASE 3 PENDING TASKS

### ✅ LIVE OPERATIONS PORTAL MVP (COMPLETED)

- [x] Created a dedicated `/dashboard` portal with live lead activity, current operating metrics, and clearly labelled sample pipeline records.
- [x] Added `GET /api/metrics` with no-cache responses and 30-second client-side refresh.
- [x] Updated `/api/lead-capture` to persist valid website submissions before optionally forwarding them to n8n.
- [x] Added server-side lead storage for the MVP and masked contact details in the dashboard response.
- [x] Switched Astro to the Node adapter so API routes deploy with the website; Docker now starts the standalone production server.
- [x] Verified the deployed-server path with an isolated test lead: capture → persistence → live metrics response.

**Current data boundary:** The portal uses `storage/leads.json` as an MVP persistence layer. PostgreSQL, payment, CRM, and project data remain the next integration phase; revenue and capacity cards intentionally report only connected data.

- [x] KPI API endpoint created
- [ ] Spin up Docker Compose stack (`docker-compose up -d`) with PostgreSQL, n8n, and Metabase
- [ ] Execute `database/schema.sql` to populate initial database tables
- [ ] Connect Live BI endpoint `/api/metrics.ts` to Metabase cards
- [ ] Execute end-to-end integration test (Form Submission -> n8n -> PostgreSQL -> Metabase Card)
