+## Live Instance
+
+- Container: `qui.internal` (ghcr.io/hotio/qui) on hetzner, port 7476
+- Auth: OIDC-only (`QUI__OIDC_DISABLE_BUILT_IN_LOGIN=true`) — no built-in login, no plain API key
+- Export script (`scripts/export.sh`) requires `QUI_API_KEY`; generate one via qui Settings → API Keys
+- FILE_MAP IDs in export.sh match the live instance (verified 2026-06-21)
+- Predecessor repo `bakerboy448/qui-automations` is archived; this repo is canonical

+## Known Live Drift (as of 2026-06-21)
+
+Live instance predates some repo improvements. Two automations differ:
+
+1. **HL-remove-limits** — live has `intervalSeconds: null` (explicit null); repo omits the field (equivalent — both mean "use qui default interval"). No action needed.
+2. **Recheck: missing files** — live has an old-style explicit `forceRecheck` condition (`STATE = missingFiles`); repo has intentionally empty conditions (the correct newer form per qui's built-in recheck action). Live instance should be updated to match repo when convenient.
