The first cut guessed a write route on Overflow's public API, which documents
only reads for Tap. With the helper app's bundle in hand (Overflow ProPresenter
Integration 1.2.3, read 2026-10-11) the module now makes exactly the calls the
helper makes, against the Dashboard's own backend:
POST /nonprofit-dashboard/authentication/login/jwt a Dashboard sign-in → JWT
GET /nonprofit-dashboard/propresenter/nonprofits/{id}/keywords
the Keyword Mappings
POST …/nonprofits/{id}/keywords?syncNonprofit=true { keywords } = the switch
So the keyword → destination → Tap groups mapping stays where Overflow keeps
it (Dashboard › Integrations › ProPresenter › Keyword Mappings) and is read
from there: on start, every five minutes, on the tile's refresh button, and
from every trigger's answer. Admin config shrinks to the ProPresenter endpoint,
the Overflow Dashboard login (plus a Nonprofit ID only for an @overflow.co
staff login) and the alert switch; the API-key, Tap-groups, keyword-text and
match-mode fields are gone.
Behaviour follows the helper: both the presentation layer (/v1/status/slide)
and the announcement layer (/v1/announcement/slide_index + /active) are
watched; when a layer's set of matched keywords changes to a non-empty set it
is sent; matching is per word, case-insensitive, punctuation around the word
ignored. The session token is cached across re-inits for the same login so an
admin saving config repeatedly cannot trip Overflow's "too many attempts";
a 401 signs in again once; a refused sign-in is not retried within 20 s.
tools/overflow-tap-mock.js now plays the Dashboard API (any email/password
signs in; --fail-switch, --expire=<s>, --login=<email>:<password>) and gives
the mock ProPresenter an announcement layer (--no-announcements for an older
one). Verified against it: sign-in, keyword load, triggers on both layers,
token expiry → re-login, 500 → NOT SWITCHED + alert + retries, wrong login →
the reason on the tile and in the health line, and recovery. keywords.selftest.js
pins the matching rule (8 cases).

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/ (the repo's copies — a packaged install ships
none and installs them from the admin page's catalog), 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 was the authority for the initial build;
README.md has run/configure/use instructions.
Building a new module — read docs/MODULE-GUIDE.md first
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 ininit()and stopped instop(). A native helper ships prebuilt inside the module folder for Apple silicon macOS and 64-bit Windows (bin/<name>-macos-arm64,bin/<name>-win-x64.exe, source and build script undernative/); nothing is ever compiled on the machine running ProdDash, and a missing binary means the feature reports itself off, not a broken module. Declare"proddash": ">=x.y.z"and bump the module'sversionon 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
helpand no label over three words in a tile's gear; server-side settings inconfigSchemaonly; 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
