+/**
+ * AdminDashboard — TSX port of `Dashboard.vue`.
+ *
+ * Management tools grid + on-demand analytics, rewritten as a `.tsx`
+ * `defineComponent` render function. Resolved via the explicit
+ * dual-extension (`*.vue` + `*.tsx`) page resolver in `resources/js/app.ts`.
+ *
+ * Ported 1:1 from the SFC (parity is the reviewable contract); shared
+ * admin chrome (headers/buttons) comes from `@/components/admin/ui`.
