Restoration Topic Shapes
This directory turns the top restoration candidates into concrete product shapes.
It answers four questions for each topic:
- Is this a standalone product, a submenu, a tabbed area, or a contextual tool?
- Where should it live in the current Stella Ops IA?
- Which dropped or weakly surfaced components should be merged into it?
- Where do single actions, panels, and stray pages go if they do not deserve their own product?

Placement Rules For Stray Pages And Single Actions
Use these rules when a dropped surface has value but does not deserve its own top-level product.
1. Configurable capability with low daily traffic
- Put it under the owning admin/setup area as a submenu or tab.
- Example: watchlist entry management belongs under trust/signing setup, not as a top-level product.
2. Operator workflow with one dominant list/detail loop
- Put the list in the parent product and make advanced tools tabs, drawers, or right-rail panels.
- Example: quiet-lane and AI recommendation flows belong inside triage list/detail pages.
3. Explanation or evidence for an existing decision
- Make it contextual to the owning workflow, usually a detail tab or drawer.
- Example: witness view and PoE belong under reachability, findings, or release-context evidence.
4. Runtime graph or replay view
- Put it on the run detail page first, with optional evidence-side entry points.
- Example: workflow visualization should be a run-detail tab, not a separate sidebar product.
5. Cross-cutting operational utilities
- Keep one consolidated ops overview and route tree.
- Do not create a second ops product when grouped cards and subroutes are enough.
