 3. `npm run images`, then `npm run build`.
 
+## Remote & backups

+- **gitea `development` branch** (gitea.simssoftware.in/SIMS/Artnouveau_website) holds the
+  complete new site — sources, tools, generated `dist/` and original photos. It was pushed
+  as a staged snapshot (many ~30 MB commits) because the server rejects uploads over its
+  size limit (HTTP 413). The local branch mirroring it is `transport2`
+  (worktree at `..\an-transport`). To publish updates: copy changed files into that
+  worktree, commit, and `git push origin transport2:refs/heads/development`.
+- To push the REAL history (branches `main`/`development`/`production`) the gitea server's
+  reverse-proxy upload limit must be raised (e.g. nginx `client_max_body_size 512m;`).
+- **Local bundle backup**: `C:\SiMS\Artnouveau\Artnouveau_website-backup-2026-07-05.bundle`
+  (all branches; refresh with `git bundle create <file> --all` after new commits).
+- The old dark "drafting board" design: git tag `v1-dark-drafting`.
