The setup notes described moving the project as a tarball and never mentioned
git, because until now there was no repo. They now lead with the clone URL and
what a push needs — the credential helper, a token, and the hostname rather
than 10.3.8.90, since the stored credential is keyed to the hostname and a
remote written against the bare IP prompts every time.
server/.gitignore only excluded data/*.json, which was enough for the checklist
file and nothing else. Running the server locally creates data/uploads, data/docs
and data/backups beside it, so an attached PDF or a backup would have been
committed on the next add. The whole directory is ignored now. That data lives
on the NAS; a stale copy of it restored over production is the accident worth
designing out.
Also records that the NAS password is a keychain item rather than a file, so a
future machine knows to store it instead of hunting for the line that used to
be in build-deploy.sh.

The project has lived only as a folder on the Mac Studio and, briefly, as a
transfer tarball. This is the first commit: the Express server and its web
front end, the Capacitor iOS and Android wrappers, and the release and backup
scripts.
The repo is the source, not a backup of the machine. Left out on purpose, by
the .gitignore files that were already in the tree: node_modules, build output,
mobile/www (regenerated from server/public on every build), and server/data,
which holds the live checklists and belongs on the NAS rather than in git.
Every credential is excluded too — server/.env, the Play upload keystore and
its properties file, the App Store Connect key and ios-signing.config. The one
secret that was not in an ignored file was the NAS SSH password, hard-coded in
build-deploy.sh and grepped back out of it by backup-to-drive.sh. Both now read
it from the login keychain (service checklist-nas, account Christian), falling
back to NAS_PASS in the environment, so rotating it is one keychain entry
rather than a history rewrite.
