+# Deployment ownership
+
+Movie Night application code belongs to this repository. Its production
+deployment definition is governed by the private Gitea repository
+`kbondelie/server-infrastructure`, currently referenced as the submodule
+`stacks/bondelie-media/movie-night`.
+
+## Current transitional path
+
+Production on `bondelie-media` still builds this repository's Dockerfile
+locally. Until the registry pipeline is implemented:
+
+1. Commit and push application changes here.
+2. Advance the Movie Night submodule pointer in `server-infrastructure`.
+3. Review and merge that infrastructure change.
+4. Synchronize only the declared application source to the host and run the
+   documented manual Compose build/deployment.
+5. Verify the HTTP endpoint and container health.
+
+Do not make production-only source edits. The host `.env` and SQLite data are
+runtime state and must never be committed.
+
+## Intended path
+
+After Renovate is operational, Gitea Actions will test this repository and
+publish semantic-version images to the private Gitea OCI registry. Production
+Compose will change from `build: .` to a pinned
+`version@sha256:registry-digest` image in `server-infrastructure`. Renovate
+will propose releases there; a human merge and Ansible deployment will remain
+the production gates.
+
+The active sequencing and safety requirements live in
+`server-infrastructure/docs/implementation-plan.md`.
