v1.0.52 — [UI/UX] Dashboard root page lacks orientation — redirect loop creates cognitive whiplash

Release Notes

The root /dashboard page currently redirects immediately to /dashboard/products (or /dashboard/overview), meaning users never land on a true home. The stat cards in DashboardContent (Products, Active Pipelines, Releases, Agent Jobs) are only visible when navigating back from a product context. New users especially get disoriented by jumping straight into the product list with no onboarding-style welcome or 'next step' guidance. The dashboard overview should be the permanent landing page, not a redirect target.

Category: navigation File: src/app/dashboard/page.tsx Recommendation: Make /dashboard render DashboardContent directly (it already exists and is well-built). Remove the redirect. Add a contextual first-run CTA on the overview if there are zero products — something like a 'Create your first product' hero card above the stat row.
