It provides browser-based barcode capture, EAN pallet verification, carton-label OCR/conformity workflows, offline IndexedDB storage, device/orientation handling, and PWA support without requiring a hosted backend.

Goals

Keep capture workflows usable offline.
Keep scanner, OCR, validation, and persistence logic independent from any specific backend.
Expose clear integration seams for APIs, ERPs, databases, and other providers.
Avoid shipping service credentials or infrastructure-specific configuration in the browser.

The public core intentionally contains no deployment-specific configuration and no direct account integration. Production hosts can add authentication, remote persistence, sync/outbox processing, tenancy, and provider adapters without making capture dependent on network availability.

Arrowstack plan

See ARROWSTACK_PLAN.md for the production integration plan covering Keycloak authentication, offline sync/outbox, PostgreSQL, station/device registration, deployment, observability, and MCP integration.

Origin

Extracted from the private dmparrow/net FieldLens prototype. That repository remains unchanged and separate from this public core.
