+| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Playout not starting** | Verify playlist exists in `data/playlist/playlist.txt` and media files are accessible |
+| **HLS not playing**      | Check `docker compose logs playout` for ffmpeg errors; verify `data/hls/` permissions |
+| **Chat not connecting**  | Ensure Redis is running: `docker compose logs redis`; check `DATABASE_URL`            |
+| **Admin panel 401**      | Verify `ADMIN_USERNAME`/`ADMIN_PASSWORD` in `.env` match login credentials            |
+| **Docker build fails**   | Run `docker compose build --no-cache`; check `backend/playout/.dockerignore`          |
+| **R2 upload failures**   | Verify `R2_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `R2_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`; check bucket CORS settings      |

+## Contributing
+
+Contributions are welcome! See [`CONTRIBUTING.md`](CONTRIBUTING.md) for guidelines. Quick overview:
+
+1. Read the [architecture docs](docs/architecture/README.md) and ADRs first.
+2. Plan tasks in `.github/instructions/TODO.md`.
+3. Open PRs on [Gitea](https://git.allucanget.biz/zwitschi/linearvoid).
+4. CI validates builds and tests automatically.
+
+Since this a linear project, we also rely on a linear development and release model: Only main branch is used for releases, and all features are merged into main after review and CI validation. Releases are tagged with semantic versioning (v1.0.3, v1.0.4, etc.) and automatically built/pushed to the container registry.
