[Unreleased]

Post the same Slack status summary as the interactive command to NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL once when the process starts (when that channel is configured).
Open-source hygiene: contributing guide, security policy, code of conduct, onboarding and handoff docs, pre-commit (Ruff), GitHub issue templates, Dependabot, CodeQL, CODEOWNERS template, and .gitattributes.

Documentation: deployment URLs (Slack Request URL behind nginx /paperscout/), clone URL in server setup, staging-style placeholders.
db-backup.yml: matrix parallel backups for staging / production using environment-level SSH secrets; uploads under gs://insights-db-backups/paperscout/<environment>/ with unique temp files and object keys (UTC timestamp + run_id + run_attempt + environment); EXIT trap removes temp dump on failure. SERVER_SETUP restore examples updated (--no-owner, listing/copy by object name).
cd.yml: validate DEPLOY_PATH, DEPLOY_BRANCH, and HEALTH_PORT GitHub Environment variables before SSH so missing HEALTH_PORT fails with a clear error instead of curling http://localhost:/health.

Initial public release as tracked in pyproject.toml (WG21 paper tracking, Slack integration, PostgreSQL storage, Docker deploy, CI/CD workflows).
