This public repository contains the project archive and public-facing documentation. Network addresses, hardware identifiers, shared-data paths, and deployment configuration are represented with placeholders. The private development repository is the source of truth for active deployment details.

Never commit credentials, API tokens, private keys, camera passwords, or machine-specific identifiers. Use environment variables for secrets; the tracked .env.example file contains placeholders only.

If a credential is ever exposed, rotate or revoke it first, then remove it from the affected working tree and report the incident through GitHub's private security channels.
