Description

The plan for the dashboard page is to have it as an open space for widgets that can be added by extensions and customised by the user:

What needs to be done:
- Come up with a base widget component or interface that extensions can extend to define their own widgets.
- Allow extensions to register their widgets on `app.widgets` or `app.widgetComponents` or something.
- Render widgets on the DashboardPage, based on the value of a config setting that stores the widget layout.
- Allow widgets to be added/removed/dragged around in the UI, and save the layout to that config setting.

Research direction

Start by locating DashboardPage and the extension registration/configuration points represented by app.widgets, app.widgetComponents, and the widget layout setting. Review how extensions and dashboard state are currently handled before defining the widget interface and UI behavior; done means extensions can register widgets, users can add, remove, rearrange, and customise them, and the layout persists.
