# A2: Workspace preparation and Database dependency

**What to build:** An operator selects a workspace, inspects readiness and catalog revisions, runs preprocessing and follows a reciprocal link to Database configuration.

**Blocked by:** A1: Navigable Administration Pages.

**Status:** implemented and regression-tested locally on 2026-09-12; configured server acceptance remains in A4. Local ticket, Gitea publication pending.

- [x] Preprocessing runs against the globally selected workspace.
- [x] Missing, stale, blocked, running and failed status reflect the API.
- [x] Database shows the related workspace's readiness and links to its preparation.
- [x] Permission and confirmation regressions pass; no preprocessing/data-persistence behavior changed in this increment.
