Changelog

All notable project changes should be recorded here before or with the matching Git commit.

This project uses Git as the primary rollback trail. The .old convention is reserved for risky manual rewrites, legacy file replacement, or generated artifact recovery where a second local copy is useful before editing.

If .old snapshots are created, move them to an external archive safe outside the repo once the corresponding Git history is committed and pushed.

Changed

Moved the canonical project remote from GitHub to Christ IT Gitea at https://git.christit.com/technical-services-exchange/technical-services-exchange.git.
Updated installer defaults and deployment documentation so future installs and updates pull from Christ IT Gitea.
Formalized the backup convention: Git is the normal rollback trail, and any future .old snapshots should be moved to an external safe outside the workspace instead of retained in the repo.

Notes

Existing Git subjects are terse because commit message input in this environment repeatedly collapsed longer subjects to Add. This changelog is the durable human-readable record for those early commits.
