A still, rendered at build time from the same story the tests run. The block itself is interactive; the copy that runs is the one the CLI installs.

Installation

The block is written to your blocks directory, and everything it is built from is installed alongside it. This one needs a licence: sign in once with the CLI and the install is the same command.

Terminal
pnpm dlx @dowel-ui/cli add command-center

Built from

A block is not a black box. Every piece is a component you already have documentation for, and can change independently.

Accessibility

The overall status is one sentence computed from the worst service, and it comes first — 'one service is down' rather than a wall of tiles to scan. It is not a live region: the page is refreshed by the application, and a status that re-announces on every poll is one nobody can work beside. Health and severity are words on every row, sorted on, with colour agreeing rather than replacing. ⌘K opens the palette but the Actions button is always visible, so the shortcut is an accelerator and not the only way in. New log lines are not read aloud unless asked.

Source

One file, written by dowel add command-center with imports rewritten to your own path alias, and yours to edit from then on.

This is a Pro block.

The preview is the real block, rendered from its own story — a still of it, not a copy of it. The source is installed by the CLI once this machine is signed in with a licence key — dowel login checks the key against the registry before storing it — and lands in your project as a file you own, exactly like a free block.
