Ekklesia's module model has been backend-only since ADR 0001: a module owns domain behavior and data, and every presentation concern belongs to a surface. That prevents a module author — the person who knows the domain — from shipping the screen that makes their module useful, and it guarantees a module and its own UI drift apart. It also pushes toward two codebases for one domain the moment a module needs to run standalone. ADR 0021 replaces that rule. A module is an independently versioned product that owns its domain behavior, data, permissions, routes, migrations, and its own UI, hostable inside Ekklesia and — from the same implementation — by a later standalone host. Core keeps the containing application shell and every platform policy: authentication, authorization enforcement, platform context, top-level routing, navigation, global theme, error boundaries, and trusted-origin/CORS. The module graph stays flat: modules are peers, genuine module and capability dependencies remain the only relationships, and Dashboard folders are presentation configuration an administrator can reorganize, never module architecture. This pass implements the static contract only. `manifestVersion` moves to 4 and `entrypoints` gains one optional field, `ui`. Version 3's `entrypoints` is strict and rejects `ui`, so this is an incompatible shape change and version 3 is now rejected outright rather than reinterpreted, exactly as version 1 was by version 2 and version 2 by version 3. Every field version 4 adds is optional, so upgrading a backend-only manifest is a one-character edit. Discovery resolves and validates `ui` under the same rules as `server` and `schema` — package-relative, inside the package before and after symlink resolution, a real file, compiled ESM `.js`/`.mjs`, so source TypeScript is rejected rather than assumed to be compiled later. Discovery stays inert: nothing imports, evaluates, mounts, or renders a UI entrypoint, and a test proves a throwing artifact still discovers successfully. This follows `entrypoints.jobs`, declared and resolved since ADR 0006 with no runtime consumer. The name is `ui`, not `dashboard`, because a module's UI must be hostable by Ekklesia's shell and by a standalone host, so the contract cannot be named after one of them; and not `surface`, because `surfaces/*` is a separate ownership layer. No widget, route, icon, folder, menu, layout, or standalone-metadata field is added, and tests assert the manifest still rejects every unknown entrypoint key and offers no hierarchy field. Deliberately unchanged: `scripts/check-boundaries.ts` still enforces `modules-do-not-own-ui`. Relaxing that guard depends entirely on the UI authoring model a later pass chooses, and weakening a working protection before that decision exists would trade real coverage for nothing. A module may therefore declare `ui` today only for a framework-neutral compiled artifact, and the docs say so rather than implying otherwise. Restart-based discovery, explicit operator-invoked migrations, and the trusted compiled-module model are untouched — a module that ships UI is exactly as trusted as one that does not. No Dashboard shell, UI runtime, renderer, framework choice, navigation registry, grouping system, standalone host, installer, hot-loading, or feature module is added by this pass.

Architecture decision records
ADRs capture durable choices that affect more than one package or phase.
- Filenames use a four-digit sequence followed by a short kebab-case title.
- Status is
Proposed,Accepted,Superseded, orRejected. - Accepted ADRs are immutable except for status and cross-reference corrections.
- A changed decision receives a new ADR that links to and supersedes the old one.
