- chmod +x all *.sh and *.py in install.sh so permissions survive git checkouts
- Fix daily_sunrise_video.sh and Python scripts missing executable bit
- Add [CAM_NAME] prefix to all 4-seasons.sh notify.sh calls so multi-camera
setups show which camera each daily clip came from
- Include camera name in output filename: YYYY-MM-DD_<cam>_MvtN-DayXofY-final.mp4

season_info.py
- Add ASTRO_YEAR: year of the Winter solstice that started the current cycle
(Spring/Summer/Autumn 2026 → 2025; Winter Dec-2026 → 2026)
4-seasons.sh
- Daily clip output path now includes ASTRO_YEAR:
movies/$name/$ASTRO_YEAR/$SEASON/Mvt$N/
montage-mvt.sh (full rewrite)
- Attribution is now a drawtext overlay (top 6 s of the video, fade in/out)
instead of an appended black card — no frame-size matching needed, and
year-end join requires no special handling
- Output path mirrors the new year-based folder structure
- Sends notification via notify.sh when done
- Automatically triggers year-end-join.sh after Autumn Mvt 3
year-end-join.sh (new)
- Concatenates all 12 movement montages for a given ASTRO_YEAR
- Output: movies/$name/$ASTRO_YEAR/$name-$ASTRO_YEAR.mp4
- Sends notification when done
notify.sh + notify_config.txt (new)
- Generic best-effort notification helper: ntfy, email, Mattermost text post
- All methods disabled by default; user fills in notify_config.txt
sky-cam.crontab + systemd/ (new)
- Crontab file: sunrise at 09:00, 4-seasons at 01:00, fullday at 02:00
- systemd .service + .timer units for all three daily jobs
- montage/year-end triggered internally, not by cron

season_info.py (new):
- Computes actual equinox/solstice dates via Jean Meeus approximation
- Converts to LOCAL timezone (pytz / zoneinfo) so the calendar date reflects
what the camera sees on the ground, including DST transitions
- Timezone defaults to America/New_York; override via $TIMEZONE env or 2nd arg
- Divides each season into 3 equal movements; handles Winter's year boundary
- Outputs IS_LAST_DAY=true on the final day of each movement
4-seasons.sh:
- Uses season_info.py for all date/season logic (no hardcoded day-of-year)
- Passes $yesterday to season_info.py so astronomical dates are correct
- Removed forced 1280x720 scale; clips stay at native camera resolution
- Auto-triggers montage-mvt.sh "$yesterday" on last day of movement so the
correct movement (not the next day's) is compiled
montage-mvt.sh:
- Accepts optional YYYY-MM-DD argument (passed by 4-seasons.sh) so it
resolves the correct season/movement when run the morning after last day
- Detects source resolution from first daily clip via ffprobe; attribution
card is generated at that exact resolution — no resizing of main video
- Font sizes proportional to frame height so text looks right at any res
- License corrected to CC BY-SA 3.0 (was CC BY-NC-SA 4.0)
fullday-video.sh:
- Removed 30-minute target; video length is natural (num_images / FPS)
- Default FULLDAY_FPS=5 (configurable at top of script)
- Retains RETENTION_DAYS=10 auto-delete for full-day videos only
- Sunrise 10s uploads and montage videos are never auto-deleted
