The gear popover learns the admin form's conventions: an instanceSchema
field's `group` starts a labeled subsection, `help` puts a line of guidance
under a control, and a manifest `instanceGroups[name]` adds
{ collapsed, columns, help } for that group (rendered as <details> with a
grid body; container queries drop to two or one column in narrow tiles).
/api/modules now exposes instanceGroups. Lets a module keep a long
show/hide checklist per tile — where display choices belong — without
the popover turning into a scroll of thirty loose checkboxes.

Ports the timers lane's admin schema additions unchanged (field `group`,
`showWhen`, type `switch`, `optionsRoute`) so the two branches merge
cleanly, and extends them for modules whose settings are richer than a
handful of fields:
- manifest `configGroups[name]` = { collapsed: true | false | "whenSet",
columns: 2–4, help } — a credentials block that folds once it holds a
saved secret, a show/hide checklist laid out as a compact grid
- `help` on any field: one line of guidance under the control
- select options may carry `group` → rendered as <optgroup>s (a folder
tree browsable inside the select)
- `optionsDependsOn: "<key>"` refetches a select's options with that
field's current value as a query parameter, now and on every change
- a save re-runs the card's dynamic option fetches, so a list that needed
the just-saved credentials fills in without a page reload; a blank
"— choose —" is no longer added when the module offers its own blank
option

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.

New configSchema type 'endpoint' declared in the module spec: anything
that points at a device or service on the network must be one endpoint
field, rendered identically for every module in /admin as a joined
Host/IP : Port control and stored/handed to the module server as
{ host, port }. Migrates all three connection modules — ProdCom (was a
full URL field), ProPresenter and Timers (were separate host + port
fields). Legacy stored configs (prodcomUrl / flat host+port) keep
working until the admin form is re-saved, at which point the new shape
replaces them. MODULE-GUIDE documents the type and the presentation
rule: no split host/port fields, and full URLs only for genuine web
addresses.

A module may now present a list of tiles instead of a single picker
entry. A server module exports tiles({config, log}) — sync or async,
called on every picker load so the list can be live data (discovered
ProPresenter timers, admin-configured pages); a client-only module can
declare a static tiles array in module.json. The ＋ picker groups the
entries under the module's name; adding one presets that entry's
instance settings, gives the tile the entry's name as its title, and
honors per-entry default/min sizes, all persisted with the layout.
moduleApi.variant tells the instance which entry it was added as. A
throwing or hung tiles() (2 s deadline) falls back to the classic single
entry so a dead upstream can never break the picker; modules without
tiles are byte-for-byte unaffected. Documented in docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md.

Milestone 6. Layouts CRUD as JSON under config/layouts/ — GET list,
GET/PUT by name (open to every dashboard), DELETE and rename gated by the
admin passcode. Layout menu grows 'Save as named layout…' and a
'Load from server' list; loading copies the layout into the browser's own
local state, never live-links viewers. Admin page lists, renames and
deletes named layouts. Verified with two isolated browser contexts
holding different layouts simultaneously.

Milestone 5. GET /api/admin/state, PUT /api/admin/modules/<id>/config and
/enabled persist to config/modules.json and re-init the module in place —
no restart. /api/events (SSE) tells open dashboards about admin changes;
the shell then calls onConfigChange(cfg) on instances that implement it
and cleanly remounts the rest, so tiles reconnect on their own. Admin
page renders forms from each configSchema (text/number/boolean/select/
password), shows module health from handle.health(), and never echoes
password values back to a browser. Optional shared passcode
(config/proddash.json adminPasscode or PRODDASH_PASSCODE) gates the admin
API behind a cookie; the dashboard API stays open.

Milestone 2. Server scans modules/*/module.json, serves module assets at
/modules/<id>/, mounts optional server routes (exact + trailing-/* prefix
patterns) under /api/modules/<id>/ with per-module config from
config/modules.json, and lists enabled manifests at GET /api/modules.
Shell dynamically imports each module's client.js and hands it the
moduleApi (config, instanceSettings, scoped fetch, auto-reconnecting sse,
setStatus). Clock module proves the contract end to end; password-typed
config fields never leave the server.

Milestone 1 of SPEC.md. Zero-dependency Node server serving public/;
12-column tile grid with add (placeholder tile), drag to move, drag to
resize, remove; collision-free placement; layout autosaves to this
browser's localStorage and survives reload.
