Fixes the federal mismatch class (boys' camp × NIH research center): - Peer precedent: federalPrecedent paginates USASpending (≤500 awards/ program) and name-matches every recipient against primary-ICP NH registry orgs (shared normalizeOrgNameForMatching, also used by the self-match gate). The 25-pt precedent tiers now key off program_state_peer_award_count — Dartmouth renewals and SBIR LLCs no longer grant precedent to community nonprofits. Raw count + peer- annotated award list stay as review evidence (peer badges, peers-first). - Mission-fit floor (12/30, grants_gov only): below it a match is stored with fit_viable=false and hidden from the pending queue, hero selection, and easy-win. Foundation-synthesized grants exempt (generic synopses). - Mission-fit judge live (judgeMatches, 06:15, 200/night best-first): JUDGE_MODEL reads the synopsis against the org profile with an explicit ignore-eligibility-breadth instruction; graded verdict with required citations; deterministic verdict→points map (27/18/8/0) sets missionFit, total, easy-win, and viability. Verdicts survive nightly re-scores via an upsert splice and re-enter the judge queue when the org profile is re-researched (org_profiles.updated_at). First sweep: 81/149 programs have NH history, only 6 have peer history; queue-head judging zeroes the research-mechanism garbage (mismatch) while surfacing genuine strong fits.

HelmDocs Grant-Match Outreach Engine
Automated pipeline that matches open grants to NH nonprofits, then runs a personalized email drip whose success metric is a booked demo call. The grant match is the lead magnet — match accuracy is the prime engineering directive.

Relationship to novelpad-desktop
This repo deliberately mirrors the novelpad-desktop stack so a future merge is a directory move, not a rewrite:
- Yarn 4.5.0 + Turbo monorepo, Node 22.16 (volta), TypeScript ^5.9.3
- Postgres + pgvector + Drizzle (0.44.6, pinned via
resolutions), actions/queries pattern - DBOS for durable jobs/cron (worker-app pattern)
@google/genaion Vertex; embeddingsgemini-embedding-001@ 1536 dims (identical to HelmDocs RAG — never mix embedding models)- React Router v7 for the review UI
Merge rules: all packages stay in the @novelpad/ scope with names that never collide with novelpad-desktop workspaces (outreach-*). Files copied from novelpad-desktop carry a provenance header (source path @ commit) — diff against origin at merge time. No live code sharing; drift is fixed at merge, by design.
Boundary: separate repo and separate Postgres on purpose — outreach tooling and sourced contact data stay outside the compliance-scoped product repo/DB.

DBOS executor: ingestion crons, expiry sweep, scoring runs, Apollo sync |
apps/outreach-review |
Human review queue (RR7). No auth by design — run behind IAP/localhost |
Development
yarn install
yarn build
yarn typecheck
yarn test
Migrations: yarn create:migration <name> inside packages/outreach-core (server-only — no client DB in this repo).
Local infrastructure
docker-compose.yml mirrors novelpad-desktop's compose conventions (pgvector image, healthcheck-gated startup), trimmed to this repo: Postgres 16 + pgvector on host port 54341 (novelpad's stacks use 54321/54331 — all three run side by side), plus worker and review services built from the root multi-stage Dockerfile (same image, different command — the novelpad website/auth pattern).
docker compose up -d postgres # just the database
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://postgres:password@localhost:54341/helmdocs_outreach \
yarn workspace @novelpad/outreach-core migrate
docker compose up -d # full stack (worker + review UI on :3100)
Migrations always run from the host — drizzle-kit is a devDependency and deliberately absent from the production image. The DBOS system schema initializes itself into the same database on worker boot (the dbos schema; ignore the misleading *_dbos_sys URL in DBOS's boot log — the shared pool override wins).
