Waters ChurchandClaude Fable 5.1 5fb90190ae Band Lineup 1.11.0: into the catalog, and to the guide's rules
The module arrived in the previous commit exactly as it runs in North
Attleboro. This brings it to the interface rules every module follows and
puts it where the admin page can offer it.

The three hide-toggles — names, mic labels, parallax — sat in a folded
"Show / hide" group. Rule 8 puts four or fewer at the top of the gear with
no group at all, so they are ungrouped and first; the Birthday group keeps
its switch. The test-mode select loses its help line (rule 5). Everything
else in the gear was already within the rules, and every title-bar control
was already an icon with a tooltip.

The Planning Center mock moves out of the module folder to tools/, beside
the other upstream mocks, so an install does not download a development
tool with the module; README and CLAUDE.md say how to run it. The version
goes to 1.11.0 so the copy already installed on NA is offered the update
from the repo, and the module joins the README's list.

# ProdDash
Modular production dashboard web app for Waters Church, developed in this repo.
The app lives at the repo root and is built: zero-dependency Node server
(`server.js`, Node 18+), dashboard shell client in `public/`, admin page at
`/admin`, modules in `modules/`, and a native macOS menu-bar launcher in
`launcher/macos/` (Swift, no dependencies — the shipped macOS app: it carries
the server and its own Node runtime, supervises them, and owns the macOS
permissions modules declare; see its README). Runtime state (module
config, named layouts) is written to a per-machine data directory outside the
checkout (`PRODDASH_DATA_DIR` overrides; see README "Where settings are
kept") — never add code that writes runtime state into the repo folder.
[SPEC.md](SPEC.md) was the authority for the initial build;
[README.md](README.md) has run/configure/use instructions.
## Building a new module — read docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md first
**[docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md](docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md) is the authority on the module
contract** (manifest, client factory + moduleApi, optional server entry,
title-bar controls). The rules that matter most:
- A module is one self-contained folder in `modules/` — **never modify the
shell** (`server.js`, `public/`) to add one. Installation = the admin page's
Available modules (downloads from the repo into the data directory), or
drop the folder and restart; configure in `/admin`.
- **All settings in the admin page** (`configSchema` / `instanceSchema`) —
never a separate setup page, hand-edited file or env var. **Dependencies
ship inside the module folder** (zero deps is the norm). **Everything the
module does runs inside its server entry** — no helper scripts, companion
programs or daemons the operator starts by hand; a listener or decoder is
started in `init()` and stopped in `stop()`. Declare `"proddash": ">=x.y.z"`
and bump the module's `version` on every change.
- Browsers never call upstream services directly; the module's server routes
proxy everything (no CORS, secrets stay server-side).
- **Keep the interface clean** (guide rules 5-11): no `help` and no label
over three words in a tile's gear; server-side settings in `configSchema`
only; a tile setting changes that tile alone; hide-toggles ungrouped when
there are four or fewer, in a folded **Show** group when there are five or
more; title-bar controls are icons with tooltips, never labels, and never
repeat something the gear already offers.
- Style with the shell's CSS variables only, scoped under
`[data-module="<id>"]`; survive upstream loss (reconnect + `setStatus`).
- Verify against the guide's testing section and resilience checklist. Mocks
for the existing upstreams: `node tools/prodcom-mock.js` (ProdCom) and
`node band-lineup-display/tmp/pp-mock.js 1599` (ProPresenter).
`node tools/slack-mock.js 24716` (Slack; run ProdDash with `SLACK_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:24716/api`).
`node tools/pco-band-mock.js 24710` (Planning Center for Band Lineup; run ProdDash with `BAND_LINEUP_API_BASE=http://127.0.0.1:24710`).
## Reference code (read-only forks — don't develop these here)
- `prodcom-listener/` — live ProdCom transcript web app. Zero-dependency Node
`server.js` that serves `public/` and proxies `/prodcom/*` (including the SSE
transcript stream) to the ProdCom API at `config.json → prodcomUrl`
(set per site; each campus runs its own). Good reference for: SSE handling,
reconnect logic, channel colors/filtering, PWA install.
- `band-lineup-display/` — backstage Electron app (stage lineup photos with
mic/pack labels) plus ProPresenter Now/Next:
- `band-lineup-display/propresenter-core/` — shared ProPresenter 7/20 client,
no deps, no Electron. All ProPresenter quirks live here (PP20 runtime route
discovery, arrangement-expanded slide totals, uuid-then-name live-item
matching). Reuse this rather than re-implementing ProPresenter access.
- `band-lineup-display/propresenter-app/` — standalone Now/Next web display.
- `band-lineup-display/tmp/pp-mock.js` — mock ProPresenter API for testing
without the real thing: `node tmp/pp-mock.js 1599`, then point at
`127.0.0.1:1599`.

`github.com/michaelmcgary2008/prodcom-listener`; BandLineupDisplay exists only
on the production machine. These folders are snapshots, not submodules.
