Background
There is no in-app developer dashboard that captures recent HTTP requests, EF Core queries, dispatched events, sent mails, background jobs, exceptions, etc. AuditLogs covers business actions, not framework-level traffic. Laravel Telescope is the canonical example.
Motivation
- Local debugging without tailing logs or attaching a debugger
- Catching N+1, slow queries, accidental email sends in dev
- Drop-in for support engineers reproducing bugs in staging
Design sketch
New module modules/Telescope (dev-only by default; gated via Telescope:Enabled setting and Telescope.View permission):
Watchers (each implemented as a focused interceptor / event handler):
HttpRequestsWatcher — middleware records URL, status, duration, controller, payload (sampled, redacted)EfQueriesWatcher — DbCommandInterceptor records SQL, parameters (redacted), duration, stack traceJobsWatcher — subscribes to BackgroundJobs lifecycle eventsEventsWatcher — wraps IEventBus to record published eventsMailWatcher — wraps Email module's senderExceptionsWatcher — IExceptionHandler records unhandled exceptionsLogsWatcher — Serilog sinkCacheWatcher — IDistributedCache decorator
Storage: dedicated SQLite file by default (telescope.db) with a 24-hour TTL purge job; opt-in to share the main DB.
UI: Inertia pages at /telescope listing each watcher's stream with detail-view drill-downs. Filter by tag (request-id, user-id, tenant-id).
