Bootstrap of the project (M0). Sets up the monorepo, design docs, hardware BOM, the open API contract, component skeletons, licensing and CI, following the Default Workflow SOP. What changed: - CLAUDE.md + docs/: copied the Default Workflow so sessions load the SOP. - state/: PROJECT, ARCHITECTURE, DECISIONS, TODO, NOTES filled in for OpenScribe. ARCHITECTURE captures the four-part design (firmware, server, app, case) and the three sync paths; DECISIONS records the hardware, AI-stack, storage, app and licensing choices; TODO lays out milestones M1-M9. - hardware/BOM.md: two build options (compact XIAO ESP32-S3 Sense; dev ESP32-S3 + I2S mic + SD), wiring/pinout, indicative cost. - api/openapi.yaml: the completely open API (device + server surfaces), including recording list/download/delete and exports (wav/ogg/txt/srt/vtt/md/json). - firmware/: PlatformIO ESP32-S3 project, two board profiles, pin map, boot scaffold with module seams for M1-M4. - server/: FastAPI skeleton mirroring the OpenAPI, config for self-hosted MinIO, faster-whisper and Ollama; stub routes browsable at /docs. - app/, case/: Flutter app plan; parametric OpenSCAD enclosure. - Licensing: GPL-3.0 (code), CERN-OHL-S-2.0 (hardware), CC-BY-SA-4.0 (case/docs), REUSE-style LICENSES/ with SPDX headers; LICENSING.md explains the split. - CI: Forgejo Actions workflow builds firmware (both profiles) and lints/imports server. Why: - Everything self-hosted and openly licensed per the user's requirements: an open API, three sync paths (BLE control, WiFi transfer, independent WiFi upload on charge to generic cloud storage), and a full self-hosted transcription+summary stack. Notes: - No custom PCB in v1; off-the-shelf modules. Physical verification waits on parts. - Component code is stubs at M0; features land milestone by milestone, each as its own branch/PR per the workflow.

Project setup
How to start a new project on the Default Workflow. Do this once, at the beginning of a project, before any feature work.
1. Create the repository
- Create an empty repo on the forge (git.discworld.casa or wherever the project lives).
- Clone it, or
git initlocally and add the remote. - The trunk branch is
mainunless the forge defaults tomaster; either is fine, be consistent and refer to it as "the trunk" in docs.
2. Copy the workflow files in
From this Default-Workflow repo, copy into the new project root:
CLAUDE.md- so every session loads the workflow automatically.docs/- the detailed workflow docs (or link to them if you prefer one source of truth; copying keeps the project self contained and offline readable).templates/*intostate/(see next step).
3. Create the state directory
The state/ directory is the project's memory. It replaces chat history. Copy the
templates and fill in the project specifics:
state/
PROJECT.md - objectives, scope, description, who it is for
ARCHITECTURE.md - how the system is built and why
DECISIONS.md - dated log of decisions and their rationale
TODO.md - what is done, in progress, and pending
NOTES.md - working notes, gotchas, environment quirks
Fill in PROJECT.md first. It anchors every later session. A session that reads only
PROJECT.md, TODO.md and DECISIONS.md should understand what the project is and
what to do next.
4. Add a .gitignore
Ignore build artefacts, dependencies, secrets and local scratch. Never commit tokens or credentials.
5. First commit
Commit the scaffold to the trunk directly (this is bootstrap, not a feature):
git add .
git commit
Write a full commit message describing what the scaffold contains and why. From here on, all work follows the Workflow: a branch per feature.
