# ADR 0004: Reporting v2 Replaces Legacy Dashboard Protocol

## Status
Proposed

## Context
The old dashboard/report socket has shaped parts of the current implementation and has caused operational friction. FreeDMR 1.x remains live while FreeDMR 2 is developed.

## Decision
FreeDMR 2 reporting is a new structured event contract. The old dashboard/report socket is not a compatibility constraint inside the core.

## Rationale
Reporting must be observational only. A clean event schema avoids leaking legacy `BRIDGES`/`SYSTEM` state into the new packet core.

## Consequences
The dashboard must be updated or served by an adapter. The core can emit stable v2 events without preserving legacy report names.

## Compatibility
Old dashboard support belongs in a sidecar or adapter, not in packet routing.

## Testing Requirements
Tests must assert expected v2 events for server, client, subscription, call, mesh, loop, and reporting-health changes.
