        "summary": "The Staff Console is the internal part of Bones 9, the web platform DBETA makes, for DBETA's own team. Its design and prototype cover jobs including: seeing every installation's health as last reported, setting up a new installation step by step, looking after web addresses and certificates, preparing and rolling out updates release by release, recording what each client is entitled to, reviewing diagnostics a client chooses to send, and asking a client for time-limited support access that the client grants and can end early. A support inbox and billing administration have been proposed but are not decided. It has been designed and prototyped and is not yet built; its specifications are still drafts and no part is approved for production use. Bones 9 is in development, with no release date.",
