# User Story

As an administrator, I want an operational dashboard of account and game activity, so that I can understand community growth and quickly investigate access risks.

# Acceptance Criteria

- [x] The administrator landing page is a dashboard rather than a settings form.
- [x] The dashboard graphs new registered users by UTC day for the previous 14 days.
- [x] Monthly active users count distinct users observed through portal or game activity in the previous 30 days.
- [x] Monthly active Minecraft accounts count distinct linked accounts observed in the previous 30 days.
- [x] The dashboard shows login denials from the previous 24 hours.
- [x] Recent VPN, proxy, and Tor observations link to affected user records.
- [x] The graph includes an accessible title, description, point labels, and textual values.
- [x] Dashboard queries and rendering execute server-side without client-side data fetching.
- [x] Deployment-managed guild settings and denial messaging remain available on a dedicated settings page.

# Implementation

- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/page.tsx`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/page.tsx)
- [`apps/web/src/app/admin/(console)/settings/page.tsx`](../apps/web/src/app/admin/%28console%29/settings/page.tsx)
- [`apps/web/src/lib/admin-metrics.ts`](../apps/web/src/lib/admin-metrics.ts)

# Validation

- Missing-day chart behavior is covered by [`apps/web/src/lib/admin-metrics.test.ts`](../apps/web/src/lib/admin-metrics.test.ts).
- The Next.js production build reports the dashboard and database-backed console pages as dynamic server-rendered routes.
