+    #149 — standalone preview / sanity-check tool for Modbus address strings. The Admin UI
+    doesn't yet have a per-tag CRUD surface (tags are seeded via SQL or arrive at runtime
+    through ITagDiscovery), so the ModbusAddressEditor component shipped in #145 needs a
+    page where operators can paste an address string and confirm it parses to what they
+    expect before committing it to a config row.
+
+    Doubles as a "did the parser ship correctly" smoke target for QA + a copy-pasteable
+    grammar reference for users skimming the docs.
