*Every active restriction, in plain view*

A dashboard section that surfaces every active restriction inline, with live countdown badges to expiry. Sits under Active Punishments on Solo, Dominant, and Submissive home screens. Re-evaluates roughly every minute so countdowns roll forward and expired entries drop off without thrashing the query cache.

## Why it exists

Restrictions only work if both partners can see what's actually in effect. Burying them inside the consequences tab means a restriction can be active without being top of mind. The dashboard section keeps current restrictions in plain view, with live countdowns to expiry.

## Capabilities

### Inline on the dashboard

Active restrictions appear directly on the home tab under Active Punishments. No drill-down required to see what's in effect.

### Live countdowns

Each card shows a countdown badge to expiry. The view re-evaluates every 60 seconds, so time remaining stays accurate.

### Auto-cleanup

Expired restrictions filter out on the next tick. The list always reflects what's currently active.

### All three dashboards

Same section on Solo, Dominant, and Submissive home screens. Each role sees the restrictions relevant to their dynamic.

## How each role uses it

### For Dominants (Dominant)

Hold the full picture without opening every consequence.

- See every active restriction at a glance
- Track time remaining without manual math
- Know when a restriction is about to expire
- Spot overlap between multiple active restrictions

### For Submissives (submissive)

Always know what you're under and how long it lasts.

- Read every restriction without opening the consequences tab
- Watch the countdown move toward expiry
- No surprise about what's still in effect today
- Plan around the rules without asking

## Use cases

- Morning check: Open the home tab and see what's in effect for the day
- Stacked discipline: Track multiple overlapping restrictions in one place
- End-of-day: Watch a same-day restriction count down to expiry
- Solo accountability: Hold yourself to active restrictions you set for yourself
