Keep module config and layouts in a per-machine data directory
Connection settings, API keys, enabled flags and named layouts were written to config/ inside the checkout, so a re-clone or reset from main started the server with nothing configured. They now live in a data directory outside the app folder: Windows %APPDATA%\ProdDash macOS ~/Library/Application Support/ProdDash other $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/proddash, else ~/.config/proddash PRODDASH_DATA_DIR overrides the location (a relative path resolves against the app folder, so "config" restores the old spot). The first start after upgrading copies an existing config/modules.json and config/layouts/ into the data directory, so nothing has to be re-entered. If the directory cannot be created or written, the server warns and falls back to config/ rather than refusing to start. A proddash.json in the data directory overrides the checked-in defaults (port, adminPasscode). The startup banner prints the directory in use, /api/admin/state exposes it, and the admin page shows it under the Modules heading. Admin config and layout writes that fail on disk now report the path instead of a generic server error. README, MODULE-GUIDE and CLAUDE.md updated.
