Severity: Medium. From a frontend UX audit. "Easy to get an overview of the data" is a core goal; the app currently drops you straight into a paginated list.

Problem

/ and all unknown paths redirect to /objects (web/src/app.tsx:78,81). There is no home/overview surface anywhere: no objects-by-visibility counts (draft / internal / public), no vocabulary / authority / field totals, no "recently edited". A curator lands in a paginated list with zero birds-eye view of the collection.

Suggested fix

Add a lightweight dashboard at / showing: object counts by visibility, vocabulary / authority / field totals, and quick links / "recently edited" (the latter depends on object timestamps — see the object-list issue). At minimum, surface visibility-breakdown counts on the objects page. Reuse the existing Badge/Card components.
