# Console

The browser app that reads a magus workspace: a tabbed, tiling page hosting the
log viewer, graph explorer, dashboard, and activity trail. It is a separate
static app, not something the daemon serves; the daemon exposes a loopback API
it calls: read-only views plus one bearer-gated job-control service for
maintenance jobs.

## Elsewhere

A browser's developer console and a terminal emulator are both called a console. The magus
console is neither: it is a separate web app that reads a workspace.

## Example

```sh
magus server start
```
