Master capability matrix
Rows come from the Workspaces competitive landscape and preserve the honesty boundary: roadmap, partial, and not-published gaps stay visible. Mobile is marked Partial because iOS/Android and Electron shells are functional but not yet in public app stores. Pricing is marked Published and linked from the footer. Email is marked No for Workspaces — the platform sends outbound transactional and newsletter email but does not ship a native email client or inbox.
1 Workspaces email posture: outbound notifications and newsletters are delivered through global-notification-svc and global-newsletter-svc; a user-facing inbox or native client is not planned (see BOFF-4422).
