UmbraTrans/DATA-SEPARATION.md

Development and production data separation

The development workspace is /home/umbra/src/UmbraTrans. Development-only state belongs below .local/data/development and is ignored by Git.

Production PostgreSQL, backup, and service paths must not be used by the development application. In particular:

• Development configuration uses UMBRA_ENV=development.
• Development data is local to the workspace and is not a PostgreSQL data directory.
• Production database access, logical backups, and service credentials remain separate operator-managed paths.
• No live PostgreSQL data directory or running SQLite database is copied as a backup.
• Backup and mailbox locations on NAS2 require a separately confirmed mount and permission check.

This document describes boundaries only; it contains no credentials or tokens.
