 # annoNet
 
-Arrowstack deployment repository.
+Arrowstack production deployment for the uploaded `annonet-arrowstack-ready.zip` source of truth.
+
+The Docker image preserves the supplied production layout and applies one minimal
+machine-auth override before building:
+
+- Keycloak token signature, issuer and expiry are verified by the supplied OIDC verifier.
+- The token's actual authorized party/client identity must be `annonet-mcp`; audience alone is not enough.
+- The required machine role remains `annonet-mcp`.
+- annoNet org/team/agent authority comes only from `ANNONET_MCP_ORG_ID`,
+  `ANNONET_MCP_TEAM_IDS` and `ANNONET_MCP_AGENT_NAME`.
+- `ANNONET_MCP_TOKEN` remains optional for local/bootstrap compatibility and is empty in production.
+
+Runtime port: `8787`
+
+Readiness: `/api/health/ready`
