 In that shell, run `:observer_cli.start()`. Press `q` and then Enter to quit observer_cli. Quitting leaves the node running. Never run `System.stop/0` or `:init.stop/0` in the remote shell, because they stop production. Leave the shell with Ctrl+C and then `a`, which closes only the remote shell. The release also includes `:recon` for one-off queries such as `:recon.proc_count(:memory, 10)`.
 
-Phoenix LiveDashboard runs at `/admin/dashboard`, behind the same basic auth as `/admin/ballots`. In development, the credentials are `flick-admin` / `unsafe-password`. In production, they come from `BASIC_AUTH_ADMIN_USERNAME` and `BASIC_AUTH_ADMIN_PASSWORD`. Its Processes page shows each process's dictionary and stack trace, but not its state. It still exposes the node's internals, so never move it out of the `/admin` scope. Its Ecto Stats page reads table sizes, index usage, and locks through `ecto_psql_extras` over the private network. It needs no remote shell and starts no second VM, so try it before observer_cli. Use observer_cli when the web endpoint cannot serve a LiveView.

It needs no remote shell and starts no second VM, so try it before observer_cli. Its "outliers" and "calls" tabs need `pg_stat_statements`, so they work only on a server that preloads the library. Local and CI Postgres do not, and their migration skips the extension with a notice. Use observer_cli when the web endpoint cannot serve a LiveView.
 
 `rel/env.sh.eex` binds EPMD and Erlang distribution to loopback and names the node `flick@localhost`, so only a shell inside the container can reach it. Keep it that way. Never expose distribution on Render's network, and never set a custom release cookie. The default cookie never leaves the container. A custom cookie would sit in Render's environment variables, and its only use is connecting from outside, where a cookie grants full code execution on the node.
