📋 Decision Context

Question:

Should the widgets-manager dashboard be removed or fixed?

Task: Not specified

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Fix dashboard to navigate to dock showcase

Options Considered:

Remove dashboard (dead UI)
Fix dashboard to navigate to dock showcase

💭 Reasoning

The dashboard has legitimate future value: 1) Core widget browsing with stats, 2) Custom SpaceWidget management (MongoDB), 3) Services for widget promotion, modules API, and AI actions. Instead of removing, we fixed viewCoreWidget to navigate to /widgets/:type and improved UX with 'Open in Showcase' action.
