Croissant Le Doux 14200edb60 feat: scaffold outreach engine monorepo on the novelpad-desktop stack
Workspaces: config (copied), outreach-core (schema + actions/queries +
hard gates), outreach-ai (Gemini client + embeddings copies, profiler and
mission-fit-judge agent stubs), outreach-worker (DBOS executor with
nightly ingest + hourly expiry workflows), outreach-review (RR7 review
queue v0). Initial drizzle migration incl. pgvector extension.

Stack contract: Yarn 4.5.0 + Turbo, Node 22.16, Drizzle 0.44.6 +
pgvector, DBOS 4.17.6, @google/genai on Vertex, gemini-embedding-001
@1536, React Router v7. Files copied from novelpad-desktop carry
provenance headers @ 62c56b87.

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.

Architecture doc: docs/plan.md. Build plan and phase status: ~/.claude/plans/helmdocs-outreach.md.

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/genai on Vertex; embeddings gemini-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.

Workspaces

Workspace Purpose
packages/config Shared tsconfig/tailwind base (copied from novelpad-desktop)
packages/outreach-core Drizzle schema (grants, orgs, profiles, contacts, matches, pipeline_events), actions/queries, hard gates
packages/outreach-ai Gemini client, embeddings, org-profiler + mission-fit-judge agents
apps/outreach-worker 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).
