-## First run
-
-With the stack up, a handful of in-app steps get you to a working library. Use your own host in place of `localhost` if you're reaching the server over a LAN/VPN address (plain `http://` is fine — no TLS required).
-
-**1. Create your admin account.** Visit `http://localhost:4533/register`. The first account on a fresh instance is automatically the administrator; later users join through the same form or an invite token (step 5).

-
-**2. Let the first library scan finish.** `scan_on_startup` is on by default, so Minstrel walks your mounted library on boot and imports artists, albums, and tracks — no button to press. Watch progress (and re-scan any time) on the **Admin** page (`/admin`); the scan runs in stages and is incremental, so later restarts only pick up what changed.

-<a href="docs/screenshots/library-scan.png"><img src="docs/screenshots/library-scan.png" width="820" alt="The Admin page, where the library scan runs and reports progress"></a>
-
-**3. (Optional) Name the instance and wire up integrations.** In admin **Settings → Integrations** (`/admin/integrations`), add a ListenBrainz token (scrobbling + similarity radio) and/or a Lidarr URL + API key (the request flow). These live in the UI and apply without a restart; the display name can also be set via `MINSTREL_BRANDING_APP_NAME`.

 Most operators only need the env vars in the quickstart above. A few extras worth knowing:

 - `MINSTREL_BRANDING_APP_NAME` — rename the instance ("Family Jukebox", "Office Music"). Surfaces in the header, browser tab, and OG share previews.
- `MINSTREL_STORAGE_DATA_DIR` — where generated artefacts (playlist cover collages, artist art, caches) are written. The container image sets this to `/app/data`, which is why the quickstart mounts the `minstrel-data` volume there.
+- `MINSTREL_STORAGE_DATA_DIR` — defaults to `./data`. Holds playlist cover collages and other generated artefacts.
 - `MINSTREL_LIBRARY_SCAN_PATHS` — colon-separated list of music library roots to scan. Supports multiple roots (`/music:/podcasts`).

 ListenBrainz integration (per-user scrobble + similarity tokens) and Lidarr integration (URL + API key) are configured through the admin Settings UI rather than env vars or yaml — per Minstrel's "config in UI" rule, integration settings live where operators can edit them without restarting.

 ## Updating

-Image tags (`git.fabledsword.com/bvandeusen/minstrel:<tag>`):
-
- `:latest` — the newest blessed image. Moves on every `main` push **and** every release. Recommended for most operators.
- `:vYYYY.MM.DD` — immutable per-day release tags. Pin one of these for a deployment you don't want moving under you. (Per-day CalVer — no trailing patch digit; a same-day re-cut moves the tag forward.)
- `:main` — the rolling post-merge tip. Same image as `:latest` at push time; choose it if you want to track `main` explicitly rather than the release line.
-
-Every `:latest` and every `:vYYYY.MM.DD` bundles the current signed Android APK, so the in-app update channel is always live. Database migrations run automatically at startup; rollbacks require restoring a Postgres dump.
+- `:main` — rolling, follows the dev branch's tested tip. Recommended only for the operator who's running an upstream-watching deployment.
+- `:v1.0.x` — pinned releases. Recommended default. Database migrations run automatically at startup; rollbacks require restoring a Postgres dump.

 ## Production

-CI populates this directory in `release.yml` (no Flutter — the client is
-native Android, built by the `android-release` job):
-
- **Tag release (`v*`):** the `android-release` job builds + signs the
-  APK, uploads it as a workflow artifact, and attaches it to the Gitea
-  release as `minstrel-<TAG>.apk`. The `image-release` job
-  (`needs: android-release`) downloads that artifact into this directory
-  as `minstrel.apk` and writes the computed versionName to
-  `minstrel.apk.version`.
- **Main push (non-tag `:latest` / `:main`):** no APK is built, but the
-  image still moves `:latest`, so `image-release` pulls the most-recent
-  release's signed APK from the Gitea API and reconstructs its exact
-  versionName — keeping the in-app update channel alive on `:latest`
-  instead of stripping it until the next tag.
-
-Either way, `docker buildx build` bakes both files into the image via
-`COPY client/ /app/client/`.

+1. `flutter.yml` builds `app-release.apk` and attaches it to the
