Waters ChurchandClaude Opus 5.5 8d8c0ee0c3 ProdDash Viewer 1.0.0: a Mac app that only shows ProdDash, with a tab per installation ...

A new Apple-silicon app in viewer/macos (Swift, no dependencies, ~1 MB): one
window showing a ProdDash dashboard in WebKit, and nothing else. It runs no
server; it points at any ProdDash on the network.

- Connections (name + address) in Settings; the add/edit sheet asks
  /api/modules whether ProdDash answers as you type. No port means 24500.
- Two or more connections bring a slim tab bar of their names. In a window
  it floats over the dashboard and comes out while the pointer is on the
  title bar; it is not part of the title bar, because anything there makes
  WebKit push the page down. In full screen it is a titlebar accessory that
  comes down with the menu bar, and it flashes up after each switch.
  ⌃Tab / ⌃⇧Tab and ⌘1–9 switch from the keyboard.
- Full screen, reopening in full screen if it quit there; window size and
  the selected tab are kept too. The dashboard's own full-screen button
  works as well.
- Menus: View (Back, Forward, Reload Page, Enter Full Screen), Settings,
  Edit (copy/paste in the page's text fields), Window, Help (a guide that
  ships in the app).
- Every installation keeps its own live web view. One that can't be
  reached says why and retries at 2, 4, 8, then every 15 s; a redirect off
  the installation is reported, not handed to the browser. JS alert,
  confirm and prompt show as sheets; links to other sites open in the
  browser.
- General settings: open at login (SMAppService), keep the display awake
  while a dashboard is on screen (default on).

build.sh signs with the Developer ID when one is installed and makes a
notarised DMG with --notarize, as the launcher's does. It needs Xcode: with
only the command line tools the macOS 27 SDK can't expand SwiftUI's @State.
