 SQLite and MariaDB use provider-neutral EF mapping and conditional updates. Explicitly check the existing SQLite startup schema reconciliation/migration infrastructure and the complete migration chain. Legacy accounts gain no layout until first Save. Language, notifications, profile, security stamps and all job/document data remain unchanged.
 
+### Adding or changing widgets later

+Add a stable ID to both `src/dashboardLayout.ts` and the backend `DashboardLayout` allowlist, supply EN/NB titles and the existing report/data owner, then prove allowed widths, empty/error states and ownership. Do not recycle an ID for another meaning. Existing saved layouts append missing known IDs hidden; unsaved accounts receive catalogue defaults. Unknown stored IDs are ignored on read and rejected on write, so preserving metadata across an incompatible client requires a schema-version increment. Future versions are read-only in an older client and cannot be downgraded by its PUT. A genuine rename/removal needs an explicit versioned ID migration and regression proof; there is no speculative alias framework. Feature availability must remain enforced by the data endpoint, independently of layout metadata.
