+
+Remove the deprecated `IUIService` contract (use `IMetadataService`) — 11.0.
+
+`IUIService` (spec `contracts/ui-service.ts`) was superseded by `IMetadataService`
+(views/dashboards are metadata: `metadata.get('view', …)` / `register(…)`). This
+removes the dead interface and its dev stub:
+
+- spec: delete `contracts/ui-service.ts` + its barrel export.
+- plugin-dev: drop the bespoke `ui` dev stub (`createUIStub`). `'ui'` remains a
+  `CoreServiceName`, so dev mode still registers a generic stub for it via the
+  fallback path; only the obsolete view/dashboard methods are gone.
+
+Use `IMetadataService` for view/dashboard CRUD.
