payloads/ and dispatch/

payloads/<event>.json

A saved payload override for one event type: payloads/pull_request.json, payloads/repository_dispatch.json, and so on. When present, it takes precedence over the synthetic payload Overwire’s event factories generate, and ${{ github.event.* }} reflects it.

Use overwire simulate <event> to see the factory baseline, then save an edited copy here. The desktop app’s payload dialog edits these files with per-event forms for all supported event types.

The CLI flag run --payload <file> overrides even the saved payload for a single run.

dispatch/<workflow>.yml

Saved workflow_dispatch defaults for one workflow: the event plus an input-value map.

event: workflow_dispatch
inputs:
  environment: staging
  dry-run: "true"

The desktop app’s dispatch form reads and writes this file, so your last-used inputs persist per workflow.
