Security

Require a token via environment variables (never inline keys in prompts, logs, or commits).
- Preferred: VESTABOARD_TOKEN
- Optional legacy fallback: VESTABOARD_RW_KEY

Constraints

Flagship Vestaboard layout is 6 rows x 22 cols.
Text input is formatted to 6x22 by default (uppercase + word wrap; truncates overflow).

Quick usage (local CLI)

# from repo root
npm install

# Preview formatting only
node scripts/vb.js preview "Hello from Quarterbridge Farm"

# Read current message (JSON)
node scripts/vb.js read

# Write text
node scripts/vb.js write "EGGS READY"

# Write a numeric layout (6x22 array of character codes)
node scripts/vb.js write-layout content/layouts/forest-depth.json
