 (`AlarmSubscription*`); the multi-driver alarm case would need a stub
 `IAlarmSource` that's worth its own focused PR.
 
-## 7. Host-status per-AppEngine granularity → Admin UI dashboard
+## 7. Host-status per-AppEngine granularity → Admin UI dashboard — **DONE (PRs 33 + 34)**
 
-**Status**: PR 13 ships per-platform/per-AppEngine `ScanState` probing; PR 17
-surfaces the resulting `OnHostStatusChanged` events through OPC UA. Admin
-UI doesn't render a per-host dashboard yet.
+**PR 33** landed the data layer: `DriverHostStatus` entity + migration with
+composite key `(NodeId, DriverInstanceId, HostName)` and two query-supporting
+indexes (per-cluster drill-down on `NodeId`, stale-row detection on
+`LastSeenUtc`).
 
-**To do**:
-- SignalR hub push of `HostStatusChangedEventArgs` to the Admin UI.
-- Dashboard page showing each tracked host, current state, last transition
-  time, failure count.
+**PR 34** wired the publisher + consumer. `HostStatusPublisher` is a
+`BackgroundService` in the Server process that walks every registered
+`IHostConnectivityProbe`-capable driver every 10s, calls
+`GetHostStatuses()`, and upserts rows (`LastSeenUtc` advances each tick;
+`State` + `StateChangedUtc` update on transitions). Admin UI `/hosts` page
+groups by cluster, shows four summary cards (Hosts / Running / Stale /
+Faulted), and flags rows whose `LastSeenUtc` is older than 30s as Stale so
+operators see crashed Servers without waiting for a state change.
+
+Deferred as follow-ups:
+
+- Event-driven push (subscribe to `OnHostStatusChanged` per driver for
+  sub-heartbeat latency). Adds DriverHost lifecycle-event plumbing;
+  10s polling is fine for operator-scale use.
+- Failure-count column — needs the publisher to track a transition history
+  per host, not just current-state.
+- SignalR fan-out to the Admin page (currently the page polls the DB, not
+  a hub). The DB-polled version is fine at current cadence but a hub push
+  would eliminate the 10s race where a new row sits in the DB before the
+  Admin page notices.
