What is optional

An optional capability you have not configured is absent: no greyed-out control, no empty tab, no button that explains itself. A disabled control invites a support question; an absent one reads as what it is.

Not configured	Result
Artifact store	Its routes 404; nothing in the UI
Isolated backend	The mode is not offered
App storage	No storage on any app
Background jobs	On by default. Switched off, no job runs and no schedule fires. With no cluster, runs go to the platform’s own machine

Admin → System info and Admin → Checks show what is on. On Checks an unconfigured capability reads skip with a reason, never fail.

The one exception: not licensed is visible

A capability your license tier withholds is shown as locked. Unconfigured is your decision; unlicensed is someone else’s, and you are entitled to see it.

Operating dials are not capabilities: a dial always has a value, with the environment as its floor.

The list

Capability	Configured by
App storage	A storage resource, and a mount or a bucket
Integrations	A connection per kind
Email	An SMTP relay or a sending API
The gallery	A setting; off by default
Telemetry	A collector endpoint
The artifact store	ARTIFACT_* variables
Isolated execution	A Kubernetes or ECS cluster
Jobs	background_jobs_enabled, and the cluster or the platform’s machine
Reachability	Nothing — active whenever an app is public; inert if the internet cannot resolve the install
Dependency policy	A setting, and an advisory feed
Connected git hosts	A connection
Metrics endpoint	METRICS_ADDR
