@@ -10,6 +10,28 @@ The module owns the `/dashboard` route when installed. Core keeps only a minimal
 fallback home for installations where this module is absent.
 
 Modules contribute widgets through the `dashboard.widgets` WebUI capability.
-The first implementation stores personal widget visibility in browser storage;
-server-side layout persistence can be added later without changing the widget
-contract.
+Personal widget layouts are stored by the backend for each tenant, account, and
+active View. Configure mode supports adding, removing, ordering, sizing, and
+widget-specific settings. Existing browser-only layouts are used as a migration
+fallback until the first server save.
+
+Widget providers can declare supported sizes and a small configuration schema:
+
+```ts
+{
+  id: "example.summary",
+  surfaceId: "example.dashboard.summary",
+  title: "Example summary",
+  supportedSizes: ["small", "medium", "wide"],
+  defaultConfiguration: { limit: 10, showDetails: true },
+  configurationFields: [
+    { id: "limit", label: "Rows", kind: "number", min: 1, max: 50 },
+    { id: "showDetails", label: "Show details", kind: "boolean" }
+  ],
+  render: ({ configuration }) => <ExampleWidget configuration={configuration} />
+}
+```
+
+Every widget needs a matching View surface. The Dashboard catalogue filters
+contributions through the effective View before rendering them, while saved
+placements remain intact when a View or module temporarily hides a widget.
