 # Changelog
 
+## 2026-04-02 - 12.3.0 - feat(docs,ops-dashboard)
+document unified database and reusable security profile and network target management
+
+- Update project and interface documentation to replace separate storage/cache configuration with a unified database model
+- Document new security profile and network target APIs, data models, and dashboard capabilities
+- Add a global dashboard warning when the database is disabled so unavailable management features are clearly indicated
+- Bump @design.estate/dees-catalog and @serve.zone/catalog to support the updated dashboard experience
+
 ## 2026-04-02 - 12.2.6 - fix(ops-ui)
 improve operations table actions and modal form handling for profiles and network targets

-## Storage & Caching
+## Storage & Database
 
-### StorageManager
+DcRouter uses a **unified database** (`DcRouterDb`) powered by [`@push.rocks/smartdata`](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartdata) + [`@push.rocks/smartdb`](https://code.foss.global/push.rocks/smartdb) for all persistence. It supports two modes:
 
-Provides a unified key-value interface with three backends:
+### Embedded LocalSmartDb (Default)
+
+Zero-config, file-based MongoDB-compatible database — no external services needed:
 
 ```typescript
-// Filesystem backend
+dbConfig: { enabled: true }
-storage: { fsPath: '/var/lib/dcrouter/data' }
+// Data stored at ~/.serve.zone/dcrouter/tsmdb by default
-
-// Custom backend (Redis, S3, etc.)
-storage: {
-  readFunction: async (key) => await redis.get(key),
-  writeFunction: async (key, value) => await redis.set(key, value)
-}
-
-// In-memory (development only — data lost on restart)
-// Simply omit the storage config
 ```
 
-Used for: TLS certificates, DKIM keys, email routes, bounce/suppression lists, IP reputation data, domain configs, cert backoff state, remote ingress edge registrations.
+### External MongoDB
 
-### Cache Database
+Connect to an existing MongoDB instance:
-
-An embedded MongoDB-compatible database (via smartdata + smartdb) for persistent caching with automatic TTL cleanup:
 
 ```typescript
-cacheConfig: {
+dbConfig: {
   enabled: true,
-  storagePath: '~/.serve.zone/dcrouter/tsmdb',
+  mongoDbUrl: 'mongodb://localhost:27017',
   dbName: 'dcrouter',
-  cleanupIntervalHours: 1,
-  ttlConfig: {
-    emails: 30,         // days
-    ipReputation: 1,    // days
-    bounces: 30,        // days
-    dkimKeys: 90,       // days
-    suppression: 30     // days
-  }
 }
 ```
 
-Cached document types: `CachedEmail`, `CachedIPReputation`.
+### Disabling the Database
+
+For static, constructor-only deployments where no runtime management is needed:
+
+```typescript
+dbConfig: { enabled: false }
+// Routes come exclusively from constructor config — no CRUD, no persistence
+// OpsServer still runs but management features are disabled
+```
+
+### What's Stored
+
+DcRouterDb persists all runtime state across 15 document classes:
+
+| Category | Documents | Purpose |
+|----------|-----------|---------|
+| **Routes** | `StoredRouteDoc`, `RouteOverrideDoc` | Programmatic routes and hardcoded route overrides |
+| **Certificates** | `ProxyCertDoc`, `AcmeCertDoc`, `CertBackoffDoc` | TLS certs, ACME state, per-domain backoff |
+| **Auth** | `ApiTokenDoc` | API token storage |
+| **Remote Ingress** | `RemoteIngressEdgeDoc` | Edge node registrations |
+| **VPN** | `VpnServerKeysDoc`, `VpnClientDoc` | Server keys and client registrations |
+| **RADIUS** | `VlanMappingsDoc`, `AccountingSessionDoc` | VLAN mappings and accounting sessions |
+| **References** | `SecurityProfileDoc`, `NetworkTargetDoc` | Reusable security profiles and network targets |
+| **Cache** | `CachedEmailDoc`, `CachedIpReputationDoc` | TTL-based caches with automatic cleanup |
