Dashboard extensions
The dashboard surfaces optional ndn-rs features as scoped, capability-gated panels, kept separate from core engine state so the main model does not grow with each one. A forwarder that does not implement the matching management dataset shows the panel as unsupported.
Network coding extension
The dashboard treats network coding as an optional ndn-rs extension surface, displaying prefix, role, generation parameters, and capability state. Non-ndn-rs forwarders show it as unsupported unless they implement the matching management dataset. See Network coding (FEC).
Rate limit
Rate-limit cells are shown as scoped operational state: management-command limits, face limits, and prefix limits. Compatible forwarders may expose read-only cells; ndn-rs profiles can later enable mutation adapters behind the same capability gate.
Compute extension
Compute services appear as service names plus diagnostics. The extension registry keeps compute separate from core engine state so service-specific tools can be added without growing the main dashboard model. See In-network compute.
