# Phase 28 — Front-screen charts

- The application opens on the Dashboard instead of the SQL editor.
- A Dashboard toolbar button returns to the performance dashboard from anywhere.
- Six colour-coded Swift Charts panels are embedded above server counters: queries/sec, connected threads, running threads, slow queries/sec, bytes received/sec, and bytes sent/sec.
- Charts use actual MySQL SHOW GLOBAL STATUS readings and refresh every 5 seconds while the administration screen is open.
- The first rate value requires two successful samples; no synthetic data is used.
- Retains the Phase 27 SQL-based schema editor and the existing Trends window for other administration pages.
- Build and live MySQL verification must be performed on macOS with Xcode.
