How to use this guide

This document is organized as a reference manual, not a linear read. Use the Table of Contents to jump directly to the topic you need — architecture, daily operation, deployment, or troubleshooting. Every command, route, and environment variable named in this guide has been verified directly against the current PLOCAL codebase at the time of writing.

Sections marked Owner / Infrastructure Responsibility describe configuration and infrastructure decisions that must be supplied by the project owner or hosting administrator — they are not missing application features.

No credentials, API keys, or passwords are printed anywhere in this document. Where a secret value is referenced, a placeholder is used instead.
