# sethLabels

> Deployment fork of glabels-qt — Qt label designer/printer, packaged for Seth's homelab.

## Start Here

**Read the latest handoff first:** `.claude/handoffs/` (most recent file).
It has session state, in-progress work, and ordered next steps.

Then check `IDEA.md` for the project brief and `DECISIONS.md` for settled choices.

## Project Identity

sethLabels is a thin deployment fork of [glabels-qt](https://github.com/j-evins/glabels-qt). Upstream is the real project — this fork's job is to keep a known-good build recipe, any deployment glue (packaging, install paths, default templates), and any local patches in one place, while staying close enough to upstream `master` that periodic rebases stay cheap.

## Current State

- **Phase:** ideation (just scaffolded — no code, no upstream pull yet)
- **Repo:** not yet (will live at `git.sethpc.xyz/Seth/sethLabels` once first commit lands)
- **Deploy target:** steel141 (Debian 13) — primary; CT for headless print serving optional/later
- **Upstream:** https://github.com/j-evins/glabels-qt (GPL-3.0, Qt + CMake + C++)

## Conventions

- This is a **fork**, not a from-scratch rewrite. Pull upstream first; only patch what we need to change. Keep diffs surgical.
- Preserve upstream license (GPL-3.0) and copyright headers.
- See `~/bin/CLAUDE.md` for global homelab conventions (gitea CLI, conventional commits, credentials handling).
