+# continuum-proxy
+
+Edge gateway daemon for the Continuum print farm platform. Runs on a Linux SBC
+on-site, discovers and talks to printers over the LAN, and maintains a
+resilient uplink to the cloud control plane (`continuum-backend`).
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- **Uplink** (`src/uplink/`): persistent WebSocket connection to
+  `wss://api.domain.com/ws/edge/v1` with exponential-backoff reconnects,
+  heartbeat ping/pong, and inbound task dispatch.
+- **Printer adapters** (`src/adapters/`): protocol clients per printer vendor —
+  Bambu Lab (MQTT 8883 + FTPS 990), PrusaLink (REST), Klipper (Moonraker WS).
+- **Plate changer** (`src/plate_changer/`): mechanical cycle execution and
+  sensor validation over GPIO/serial for automated plate-swap hardware.
+- **Local cache** (`rusqlite`): buffers telemetry and job state through
+  connectivity gaps so nothing is lost if the uplink drops.
+- **go2rtc watchdog**: supervises the bundled `go2rtc` process for camera
+  restreaming (RTSP/USB → WebRTC).
+
+## Getting started
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+cargo run
+```
+
+## Structure
+
+```
+src/
+  main.rs            Multi-threaded async engine: uplink, discovery, go2rtc watchdog
+  uplink/             Cloud WebSocket client (reconnect, heartbeat, dispatch)
+  adapters/           bambu.rs, prusalink.rs, moonraker.rs printer clients
+  plate_changer/      Mechanical cycle control + sensor validation
+  discovery/          LAN printer discovery (SSDP / mDNS / static config)
+```
