So it looks like the character sheet is calculating Warforged AC by using bonuses rather than AC calculations. This is going to cause issues as it allows the AC to stack with armour calculations such as Barbarian on Monk Unarmoured defense.
**EDIT** just double checked this and while it isn't allowing these things to stack the heavy armour plating is subtracting Dex from ac when there's a negative modifier.
so, question/statement about warforged AC calculation with armor proficiencies. it says that if you're proficient with the type of armor, you add your proficiency bonus to your ac, but it doesn't do that automatically. not sure if this is a bug, of if there isn't a way for the system to detect that to add it in automatically. i saw this thread right on the front page, and didnt think this warranted a whole new thread.
Currently there's no way for the integrated protection feature to check whether your character has the required armor proficiency. :(
I'm sure the dev team will be able to come up with a way of implementing this, but for now it's noted as a requirement and it's up to the player to read the description and only select an option that is valid for their character.
This was reported four years ago, but still my warforged barbarian gets both Unarmored Defence and Integrated Protection. I'm confident that this is wrong RAW.

Thanks for the report, we're taking a look at this now.

The above issue was with a previous version of the warforged race and not the current version.
Integrated protection is a flat +1 AC regardless of other AC calculations and so should stack with unarmored defense
