Rules for a clean interface, and the modules brought to them

Seven rules join the four in the module guide, as rules 5 to 11: no
explanatory text in a tile's gear and no label over three words; server-side
settings in configSchema only; a tile setting changes that tile alone;
hide-toggles ungrouped when there are four or fewer and in a folded "Show"
group when there are five or more; title-bar controls are icons with
tooltips, never names; anything needing words belongs in the gear; and one
control per action, either place but not both.

Two passages said the opposite and now say the same thing — "keep labels
short and put the explanation there" is scoped to configSchema, and "icon
buttons, short labels" becomes icons with no labels at all. CLAUDE.md
carries the summary.

Then the modules. Nothing here changes a setting key or a default, so saved
layouts, named layouts and every tile already on a wall keep working; group
names, labels, help and fold state are presentation and are not stored.

- pco-plan: sixteen labels cut to three words or fewer ("Tint items by type
  (song / media / other)" is now "Tint by type"), "Show / hide" renamed
  "Show" and folded. Its one remaining help line stays by request: the top
  bar's template needs its separator syntax spelled out, which the variable
  chips beside it cannot convey, so rule 5 carves out template fields.
- propresenter-timers: the "Timers ▾" menu was the only named control left
  in any title bar. It is a stopwatch icon now, with the count riding
  alongside it while some timers are hidden — setLabel() writes over the
  button's contents, so the count needed ProdCom's badge treatment rather
  than a label. "Show" folds; the Colours help goes.
- propresenter-now-next: "Show" folds, in the manifest and in the Now
  entry's own copy.
- prodcom-transcript: "Show channel icons" loses the redundant verb.

slack and clock were already compliant and are untouched.

    The admin page refuses to install a module whose requirement the running
    shell doesn't meet, and it offers updates by comparing versions.
 
+### Keeping the interface clean
+
+A dashboard is read across a booth, at a glance, by someone doing three
+other things. These rules are what keep every tile looking like one product
+instead of six. They are as binding as the four above.
+
+5. **No explanatory text in a tile's gear.** No `help` on an
+   `instanceSchema` field or an `instanceGroups` entry. Labels are **three
+   words at most, one or two preferred** — "Slide count", "Item tags",
+   "Running clock". A control that cannot be understood in three words is
+   not a display choice; it belongs in `configSchema`, where `help` is
+   welcome and expected. *One exception:* a `template` field may keep a
+   single `help` line naming its placeholders, which nobody can guess.
+6. **Server-side settings are admin-only.** Anything the module's server
+   acts on — a host, a credential, what to fetch, how often to poll — is
+   `configSchema`. `instanceSchema` is display choices and nothing else:
+   what this tile shows, and how big.
+7. **A tile setting changes that tile and nothing else.** Never another
+   tile, never the module as a whole, never the server. If two tiles must
+   agree on something, it is either admin config or page state the shell
+   owns — not a setting each tile keeps its own copy of.
+8. **Offer toggles for the elements you draw.** Every tile should let the
+   operator switch off the parts it does not need. **One to four toggles:**
+   give them no `group` at all, so they sit unlabelled at the top of the
+   gear. **Five or more:** one group named **Show**, `collapsed: true`,
+   `columns: 2`. Nothing else goes in that group — colours, formats and
+   text belong in groups of their own.
+9. **Title-bar controls are icons.** No `label` on `addButton` or
+   `addMenu`; the tooltip carries the words, and `docs` above covers drawing
+   the icon. A small state indicator may ride alongside an icon — ProdCom's
+   channel button shows a count while a filter is on — but a control is
+   never named in the bar.
+10. **If a control needs words to explain it, it is not a title-bar
+    control.** Put it in the gear. The bar is for actions whose icon and
+    tooltip say everything: refresh, clear, jump to latest, bigger text.
+11. **One control per action.** Whatever has a dedicated title-bar button is
+    not offered again in the gear, and the reverse. Text size is A− / A+ up
+    there, never a "Text size" field; a timestamps button in the bar means
+    no timestamps switch below it.
