 ### Added
 - **App home dashboard.** The `sqlWorkbench` app's home is now an information dashboard of real data, read in the viewer's session (permissions and record locks apply): summary tiles and links, runs per day, recent notebooks, recent runs, slowest and failed queries, most-used notebooks, shared notebooks, committed writes, and (workbench admins only) activity by user. Each widget has an honest empty state.

 ### Upgrade from RC.2
 - Follow [UPGRADE.md](UPGRADE.md): grant the renamed permissions and rename stored table names (audit, saved views and reports). No DDL.

+**Do not use.** 1.0.0-RC.3 on Maven Central is an accidental republish of the RC.2 code by a tag build; do not use it. The next real candidate is 1.0.0-RC.4. (Cause: QRun-IO/qqq-orb#20; the `publish_release` workflow now runs on GA tags only.)

 ## [1.0.0-RC.2] - Unreleased
 
 The workbench's data becomes standard QQQ tables, secured by QQQ's own mechanisms instead of being hidden ([#3](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qbit-sql-workbench/issues/3)). Requires QQQ `4.1.0-RC.4` or later ([qqq#1073](https://github.com/QRun-IO/qqq/issues/1073)).
