 - Keine Infrastruktur‑Mutation ohne explizite Freigabe.
 
+## 1.2 Superadmin‑Roadmap (geplante Seiten & Zweck)
+
+Diese Seiten sollen praktische Steuerung über Tenant‑Admins und die Guest‑Experience geben, ohne ins Tagesgeschäft abzurutschen.
+
+- **Moderation‑Queue (Guest‑Content):** Flagged Fotos/Feedback sammeln, bulk hide/delete/resolve, sauberes Audit.
+- **Guest‑Policy‑Settings:** Default‑Toggles (Downloads/Sharing), Rate‑Limits, Retention‑Defaults, damit neue Events konsistent starten.
+- **Ops‑Health‑Dashboard:** Queue‑Backlog, failed jobs, Storage‑Schwellen, Upload‑Pipeline‑Health auf einen Blick.
+- **Compliance‑Tools:** DSGVO‑Export‑Requests und Retention‑Overrides pro Tenant/Event.
+- **Superadmin‑Audit‑Log:** Jede Admin‑Aktion nachvollziehbar (ohne PII‑Payloads).
+- **Tenant‑Announcements:** Zielgerichtete Hinweise/Release‑Notes an Tenant‑Admins, inkl. Zeitplanung.
+- **Integrations‑Health:** Status‑Board für Paddle/RevenueCat/Webhooks inkl. Störungen.

 ## 2. Deployments & Infrastruktur
 
 Diese Kapitel erklären, wie die Plattform in Docker/Dokploy betrieben wird.
