CSA Loom — the Microsoft Fabric experience for Azure tenants where Fabric isn't yet available: lakehouses, warehouses, notebooks, semantic models, Activator rules, Data Agents, across Commercial, GCC, GCC-High, and DoD IL5

Parity gap — /workload-hub + /workloads

Loom routes: - /workload-hub → redirect to /workloads (canonical) - /workloads (rendered by apps/fiab-console/app/workloads/page.tsx)

Fabric reference: Microsoft Fabric Workload hub — https://learn.microsoft.com/fabric/fundamentals/fabric-home#create-items-and-explore-workloads Loom screenshot: temp/parity/page-workloads-loom.png Captured: 2026-05-26 — multiple real workloads rendered

Phase 3 — Side-by-side gap matrix

# Fabric Workload hub element Loom Workloads element Status Severity
1 Page header "Workloads" with subtitle "Workloads — Each workload groups item types that solve a problem together…" present
2 Filter input "Filter workloads…" Input present
3 Tab strip per workload (Data Engineering / Data Factory / Real-Time Intelligence / Data Warehouse / Databases / Data Science / Fabric IQ / Power BI / Industry / Custom) Card grid showing every workload at once, no tab strip different — Loom is grid-vs-tabs MINOR
4 Per-workload landing page with overview, supported items, samples, learning links Loom cards show name + description + first 8 item-type slugs as pills + "+ N more" partial MAJOR
5 Per-workload "Create item" panel Not present at workload level (use /items/[type]/new for create) missing MAJOR
6 "Add workload to tenant" / org-add custom workload Not visible missing MINOR
7 Workload state: Included / Beta / Preview / Custom "Included" badge + category badge (CSA / Org) per workload present
8 Workload-specific learning links Not present on card missing MINOR
9 Bootstrap honest gate Empty state: "No workloads in this tenant yet. POST /api/admin/bootstrap-catalogs once per environment to seed GLOBAL; first /api/workloads-catalog GET copies into your tenant automatically." present + honest
10 CSA-branded workloads (FedRAMP, Geoanalytics) Visible — CSA branding distinct from Org workloads present + Loom-specific value

Phase 4 — Functional verification

Control Source Result
Filter input Real client-side filter on name + description + category OK
Card render Real workload list from /api/workloads-catalog OK — verified multiple real workloads rendering
Empty state Honest with bootstrap instructions OK
Bootstrap path POST /api/admin/bootstrap-catalogs is a real route (per the message hint) OK
Workload cards Show real featureSlugs arrays OK

Honest grade

Grade: B

Reasoning: - Phase 3: 0 BLOCKER, 2 MAJOR (no per-workload landing page with Create button + learning links; no per-workload tab strip). - Phase 4: 0 BROKEN — all real backend wiring. - The catalog is real and rich (8+ workloads visible with real item-type bundles). - CSA-branded workloads (FedRAMP Compliance Engine, Geoanalytics) are a Loom-specific value-add. - Honest empty state explains exactly how to bootstrap.

Not A because: - Fabric's Workload hub gives each workload its own tab + landing page with Create+Learn affordances. Loom collapses all workloads into a flat grid. - No "+ Create item" button per workload card. - No per-workload learning links.

  1. Click into a workload card → open a workload detail page (/workloads/[id]) with: overview, full item-type list, "Create" button per item type, learning links, sample notebooks.
  2. Add a top-level tab strip per Fabric (All / Data Engineering / Data Factory / Real-Time / Warehouse / etc.) and use card grid within each tab.
  3. On each workload detail, add "Include in tenant" toggle for tenant admins.
  4. Surface workload state more prominently (Beta / Preview / Custom badges).
