+- Paste text instead of a photo, for sources that send emails: New scan → Paste text. The model reads the text itself (the November example email: every event right, in under 20 seconds), and review marks the sentence each event came from in the email, where photo scans show the spot on the photo. Days like "5th" go in the month named before them, and a date with no year goes in the year nearest the scan's month: a November email's "October 30th" is the October before, a December email's "January 4th" the January after. Needs database migration 004, which runs on start. A source's double read doesn't apply to pasted text.
+- `phase0/extract.py` runs golden cases with a `"text"` file instead of an `"image"`.
+- `deploy/nginx.conf`, an example nginx site that makes only `/feed/` public and keeps the rest of the app on the LAN or VPN.
+- `deploy/compose-complete.yml`, an example Compose file that runs ParentCalendar and Ollama together (NVIDIA GPU, with AMD commented out), with every setting from `.env.example` and its default.
+- Holidays in Settings. Federal holidays (all 11, with the weekday they're observed) show on the Calendar tab, on by default, and never go into downloads or subscriptions. National days such as National Chicken Sandwich Day come from Checkiday with a free `CHECKIDAY_API_KEY`, once a day: off by default, then in the app, in exports, or both. Exported, a day's national days are one all-day event ("National Fried Chicken Sandwich Day + 4 more", all of them in the notes), shown as free time and with no alert. The free plan only answers for today, so each day's list arrives that morning and days ahead aren't known. Needs database migration 005, which runs on start.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- An alert's icon no longer shrinks to a dot when its text is long.
+- A time, notes or place the model wrote as the word "null" is now empty instead of the text "null".

+1. **Capture.** Take a photo with the phone's camera or upload an image, PDF, or screenshot. The server handles crop and perspective correction. Multi-page capture is supported for two-sided sheets. A source that sends emails instead of paper can be pasted as text: the model reads the text itself, and review marks each event's sentence in it instead of a spot on a photo.
 2. **Tag the source.** Pick a saved source ("Lincoln Elem — District", "Soccer U10") or create one, and pick the child or children it applies to. The source sets the date hint, children, relevance filter ("Grade 3", "Team Blue"), default category, and default times.
 3. **Parse.** The server cleans up the image and sends it to the extraction model with the source's hints. The parsed result streams back in 10–30 seconds.
 4. **Review and edit.** A split view shows the photo beside an editable event list. Low-confidence items come first and are highlighted on the photo. Events that don't match the relevance filter appear unchecked. You can edit, delete, merge, or add events, and bulk-apply changes (for example "all 'Early Release' events end at 1:30 PM").
