configGroups[name].help now renders as an ⓘ beside the group title (.group-info / .group-info-btn / .group-info-pop): a real labelled button — click pins a popover with the text, hover and focus peek at it, Escape or a click elsewhere closes it, and inside a collapsed group's <summary> it never folds the group. The paragraph above the fields is gone; per-field help stays one small line under its control.
configGroups[name].toggle names a switch/boolean field of the group: it moves into the title row, right-aligned (.field-group-toggle), as the group's on/off. While off the body dims to 0.45 (.field-group.is-off) but every field stays editable; the field is not repeated in the body, is saved exactly as before and still drives showWhen. Works with collapsed (the switch never folds the row) and columns. A toggle naming a non-boolean field is ignored.
The module card's status line is a .module-status readout: 1px --border, a background a shade lighter than the card, monospace, small radius and padding, with ok / connecting / error as the text (and border) colour.
New Theme section near the top: five swatches (.theme-swatch with a miniature bg/panel/accent preview), the current one marked, click POSTs /api/admin/theme and applies at once, errors show on a status line; other admin pages' changes arrive live over /api/events, and the login card already wears the server's theme.

Resolves the admin form conflicts in favour of this branch's grouped /
collapsible / dependent-select additions (the base hunks were the timers
lane's, ported verbatim), keeps both sides of the README and module-guide
edits, and adopts main's versioning rules: the shell moves to 1.3.0 for the
new schema features (configGroups / instanceGroups, help, color fields,
grouped and dependent selects) and pco-plan 1.3.0 declares
"proddash": ">=1.3.0".

Renders <input type="color"> with the label beside it; the stored value is
always a #rrggbb string (3-digit hex widened, anything else falls back to
the schema default). Same styling in the gear popover and the admin form.

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

Simplify LTC to its one working source — the built-in audio listener — and
make the admin UI reflect it.
Module:
- Remove the stage-display websocket source (stage-ws.js, stagePassword)
and the /v1/timecode/status API probe — both dead on ProPresenter 21.4.
- Remove the remote-reader ingest (POST /ltc, ingestToken, tools/
ltc-reader.js): the module owns LTC end to end now. The decoder selftest
moves to modules/propresenter-timers/ltc.selftest.js so the engine stays
covered.
- composeLtc collapses to the listener: running/stopped/nosignal, or a
clear note when disabled / no device / capture failed / starting.
- Manifest: ltcEnabled is now a `switch`; ltcDevice and ltcChannel carry
showWhen:"ltcEnabled"; ProPresenter and LTC fields carry `group` labels.
Shell (admin) — backward-compatible additions, coordinate with the shell lane:
- New `switch` field type (boolean shown as the enable-toggle control).
- `group`: consecutive fields render under a labeled subsection.
- `showWhen: "<key>"`: a field is shown only while that boolean/switch is
on (and actually collapses — .field[hidden] override, since .field's
display:flex outranks the [hidden] UA default).
- applyConfigPatch coerces `switch` as boolean. Documented in MODULE-GUIDE.
Verified: engine selftest (29 checks); listener decodes BlackHole loopback
(running 30fps, ageMs); device picker lists inputs; POST /ltc now 404s;
admin shows two labeled groups, the switch, and device/channel appearing
only when the switch is on (computed display none↔flex confirmed).

Adopts the new contract: the manifest declares "proddash": ">=1.2.0"
(this module's admin device picker needs the optionsRoute select support
this branch adds), module version 1.2.0, and the shell version bumps
1.1.0 → 1.2.0 for that admin capability. The optionsRoute paragraph
merged into the guide's new schema section cleanly.

ProdDash now has a version (package.json, 1.1.0) and modules declare the
shell versions they need ("proddash": ">=1.1.0" in the manifest). A module
whose requirement this shell doesn't meet is listed in the admin page but
never loaded, and cannot be installed from the catalog.
Modules come from two places: bundled with the checkout (modules/) and
installed from the admin page into the data directory (<data dir>/modules/).
Same id in both → the newer version runs; a downloaded copy the bundled one
has overtaken is removed. The admin page's new "Available modules" section
lists modules in the ProdDash repo that aren't installed here — one small
tar.gz of the branch is fetched (at most every few minutes, only while the
admin page is open or for the periodic update check) and read with a
dependency-free tar reader (ustar, GNU long names, pax headers; the pax
global comment carries the commit sha). Install downloads the module folder
into the data directory and mounts it immediately; a module card offers
"Update to vX" when the repo has a newer version. Uninstall removes an
installed module's files; a bundled module is hidden instead (its folder
belongs to the app) and can be restored from Available modules without a
download. Settings are kept across uninstall/reinstall.
Shell updates: the server compares the repo's package.json version and
commit sha with its own (git rev-parse when the app folder is a checkout),
shows a banner in the admin page, and "Update now" brings the app folder up
to date — git pull --ff-only for a checkout that is on the repo branch with
no local changes (file modes ignored), otherwise the archive is unpacked over
the folder (runtime state and .git untouched). The server then exits with
code 75 and starts its own replacement unless PRODDASH_LAUNCHER is set; the
replacement waits for the port to free up (EADDRINUSE retry). The page polls
until the new version answers. PRODDASH_REPO (owner/repo#branch),
PRODDASH_ARCHIVE_BASE and PRODDASH_NO_REMOTE_CHECK configure/disable it.
Docs: MODULE-GUIDE gets the rules every module follows (all settings in the
admin page, dependencies shipped inside the module, everything runs inside
the module's server entry — no helper programs, declare the ProdDash
requirement and bump the version), the proddash/version manifest fields and
the new installation story; README gets "Installing modules and updating";
CLAUDE.md summarises the rules.

The LTC listener now lives inside the module: it spawns the native
ltc-capture helper (moved into the module folder, compiled on first use,
exact-name device matching) for the admin-selected input device, extracts
the configured channel, and decodes SMPTE LTC in-process (ltc.js — the
engine, shared with tools/ltc-reader.js, which remains the remote-machine
option posting to /ltc).
Admin config: an "LTC listener" switch, an audio-device select populated
live from the new GET /ltc/devices route, and a 1-based channel number.
The switch off means LTC is gone entirely: no LTC entry in the Add-tile
picker, no LTC row in the Timers menu or All-timers grid, no stage/API
probes, and POST /ltc answers 409. Source precedence with it on:
listener-with-data, fresh remote reader, listener's own no-signal verdict,
then the legacy API/stage chain.
Shell (admin page): `select` fields learn `optionsRoute` — options fetched
from a module route at render, saved value kept selectable when the route
or device is gone. Documented in MODULE-GUIDE; backward compatible.
Coordinate with the shell lane before its next admin.js change.

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.

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.
