Quick Add:
- barcode choices: automatic (zero-padded, >= 7 digits), scan a pre-printed
sticker per item, or none for now; bulk 'give barcodes to items without one';
reserve a block of numbers and print the sheet ahead of time (link opens
Koha's range printer prefilled)
- default shelf saved on the server (shared by every device)
- item types follow Koha; CSP allows cover redirects; aria attrs fixed
Koha bootstrap:
- default lending rule (3 weeks, 25 items, 3 renewals, no fines) - a fresh
Koha refuses every checkout without one
- automatic library-card numbers (start at 1000001), fines off
- Koha's own auto-barcode off (one numbering scheme)
- patron card template (Avery 5371) and layout with a scannable barcode
- LIBRARY_CODE, SHELVES and ITEM_TYPES honoured at first install
Why 7 digits: decoded printed sheets - 7-digit Code 39 read back 40/40, 6-digit
all-numeric symbols were reinterpreted as Code 32 for ~1 in 10 values.

- Seed Avery 5160/5167 and Demco spine templates plus Spine, Spine+barcode
and Barcode-only layouts (Dewey call number split across lines)
- Default 942$c (item type) to BOOK so a Z39.50 import saves without edits
- Enable Plack includes in addition to the plain ones (static files/rewrites)
- Swap Apache from mpm_itk to prefork after koha-create (itk can't switch
users in a container and returned HTTP 500 on every page)
- Drop unneeded SETUID/SETGID caps
Verified live: staff login, Z39.50 search/import against a local server,
save + auto barcode, label PDF with Dewey spine + barcode.

Compose stack (MariaDB + Koha built from the Koha project's Debian
packages), headless bootstrap replacing the web installer, seeded item
types and LoC Z39.50 server, and an install.sh that installs Docker,
generates passwords and waits for the site. End-to-end testing in progress.
