# PSCOT Design Notes — v1.0.0

## Release scope

v1.0.0 is the first production milestone release. It is built directly on v0.1.9 and intentionally limits functional changes to licensing and Desk-footer branding. It does not change the database schema, document model, upload handling, analytics, permissions, or public library behavior.

## MIT software license

The public footer now includes a **License** link leading to `/license.php`. The page presents the full MIT License and links to the packaged plain-text `LICENSE-v1.0.0.txt` file.

The license applies to the PSCOT application software: PHP, JavaScript, CSS, the database schema, and supporting source code. It does not automatically license books, articles, stories, uploaded documents, cover artwork, logos, branding, or other catalog content.

The Terms page includes the same distinction so its general content protections do not conflict with the MIT grant for software.

## Public footer

The public footer retains its existing layout and brand treatment. Its legal row now contains:

```text
Privacy • Terms • License • PSCOT v1.0.0
```

## Desk footer

The bottom-right Desk footer branding now uses the same markup and presentation as the public footer:

- the compact PSCOT mark image;
- the `PSCOT` wordmark text;
- the same desktop and mobile image dimensions.

Version and copyright information remain at the bottom left.

## Versioning

`PSCOT_VERSION` is `1.0.0`. Current canonical CSS, JavaScript, manifest, favicon, and branding filenames use the `v1.0.0` tag. Required route filenames retain their functional names. Release documentation, license, manifest, archive, and checksum filenames also carry the v1.0.0 tag.
