-### Frontend Development (Root directory)
-```bash
-npm install         # Install dependencies
-npm run dev         # Start Vite dev server for frontend
-npm run build       # Build frontend for production
-npm run lint        # Run ESLint for frontend code
-npm run preview     # Preview production build
-```
-
-### Frontend Development (impetus-dashboard)
-```bash
-cd impetus-dashboard
-pnpm install        # Install dependencies (uses pnpm)
-pnpm dev            # Start Vite dev server
-pnpm build          # Build with TypeScript and Vite
-pnpm lint           # Run ESLint
-pnpm preview        # Preview production build
-```
-
-### Backend Development
+Impetus-LLM-Server is a **production-ready** local LLM server optimized for Apple Silicon. The project provides both a standalone macOS app for end users and a full development environment for contributors.

+- ✅ **Production Server**: Gunicorn with Apple Silicon optimization
+- ✅ **Beautiful Dashboard**: React/Three.js frontend
+- ✅ **OpenAI API Compatibility**: Works with all major AI tools
+- ✅ **Comprehensive Installers**: Multiple distribution options
+- ✅ **Enterprise Features**: Health checks, monitoring, API docs
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+### CI/CD Strategies
+- Implemented GitHub Actions for automated testing and deployment
+- Comprehensive test suite runs on every pull request
+- Automated standalone app build and distribution process
+- Performance and security checks integrated into pipeline
+- Automatic version bumping and release creation
+- Cross-platform compatibility testing on multiple Mac configurations
+
+## Building for Distribution
+
+### Creating the Standalone App (Recommended)
 ```bash
-cd gerdsen_ai_server
-python src/main.py  # Run the Flask server on port 5000
+cd installers
+./macos_standalone_app.sh
+# Creates Impetus-Standalone-1.0.0.dmg with embedded Python
 ```

-## Development Notes
-
-- The project is in active development with focus on performance optimization
-- Uses modular architecture with clear separation of concerns
-- Implements factory patterns for model loading flexibility
-- Includes comprehensive error handling and logging
-- Supports both development and production configurations
-
-## Problem-Solving Approach
-
-When working on this codebase, apply both the Socratic method and OODA loop for systematic problem-solving:
-
-### Socratic Development Method
-
-Use questioning to deeply understand problems before implementing solutions:
-
-#### When Debugging Issues
-- What is the exact error or unexpected behavior?
-- What assumptions might be causing this issue?
-- Have we verified these assumptions with evidence?
-- What is the simplest test case that reproduces this?
-- Could this be related to Apple Silicon-specific behavior?
-
-#### When Adding Features
-- What problem does this feature solve?
-- Who will benefit from this feature?
-- What are the performance implications?
-- How does this integrate with existing architecture?
-- What are the security considerations?
-
-#### When Optimizing Performance
-- What metrics prove this is a bottleneck?
-- What are the trade-offs of this optimization?
-- How will this affect different Apple Silicon models?
-- Is this optimization maintainable long-term?
-- What alternatives have we considered?
-
-### OODA Loop Implementation
-
-Structure your development process using Observe-Orient-Decide-Act:
-
-#### 1. OBSERVE
-Before making changes:
-- Review relevant code sections and architecture
-- Check performance metrics and logs
-- Analyze memory usage patterns
-- Monitor GPU/CPU utilization
-- Examine existing model loader implementations
-- Review error logs and stack traces
-
-#### 2. ORIENT
-Understand the context:
-- Consider Apple Silicon unified memory architecture
-- Evaluate available model formats (GGUF, MLX, CoreML, etc.)
-- Understand the modular architecture patterns
-- Review security and sandboxing requirements
-- Assess WebSocket real-time communication needs
-- Consider factory pattern implications
-
-#### 3. DECIDE
-Make informed choices:
-- Select appropriate model loader based on format
-- Choose caching strategy for memory optimization
-- Determine if changes need WebSocket updates
-- Decide on error handling approach
-- Select testing strategy for changes
-- Choose between synchronous/asynchronous implementation
-
-#### 4. ACT
-Implement with confidence:
-- Make incremental, testable changes
-- Follow existing code patterns and conventions
-- Implement comprehensive error handling
-- Add appropriate logging for debugging
-- Test on relevant hardware configurations
-- Monitor performance impact
-
-### Combining Both Methods
-
-When facing complex problems:
-
-1. **Start with Socratic Questions** to understand the problem deeply
-2. **Use OODA to structure your approach** to solving it
-3. **Question your decisions** at each OODA stage
-4. **Iterate based on observations** from your actions
+This creates a fully self-contained app that users can download and run without any dependencies.
 
-Example workflow for a performance issue:
-- **Question**: "Why is model loading slow?" (Socratic)
-- **Observe**: Profile the loading process (OODA)
-- **Question**: "What assumptions are we making about memory allocation?" (Socratic)
-- **Orient**: Review MLX memory management patterns (OODA)
-- **Question**: "What evidence supports our optimization approach?" (Socratic)
-- **Decide**: Implement memory-mapped loading (OODA)
-- **Act**: Code, test, and measure results (OODA)
-- **Question**: "Did this solve the root cause or just the symptom?" (Socratic)

+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Tips for Best Performance
+1. **Model Selection**: Choose quantized models (4-bit) for faster inference
+2. **Batch Size**: Use appropriate batch sizes based on your hardware
+3. **KV Cache**: Enable conversation caching for multi-turn chats
+4. **Warmup**: Use model warmup to eliminate cold start latency
+5. **Memory Management**: Monitor memory usage and unload unused models
+
+### Hardware Recommendations
+- **M1/M2**: 8GB+ RAM, use 4-bit models
+- **M3/M4**: 16GB+ RAM, can handle larger models
+- **Pro/Max/Ultra**: Best performance with multiple concurrent requests

+- **periodSeconds**: 10s (check every 10 seconds)
+- **timeoutSeconds**: 5s (timeout for each check)
+- **failureThreshold**: 3 (restart after 3 consecutive failures)
+
+### Readiness Probe Settings
+- **initialDelaySeconds**: 15s (check readiness earlier than liveness)
+- **periodSeconds**: 5s (frequent readiness checks)
+- **timeoutSeconds**: 3s (shorter timeout for readiness)
+- **failureThreshold**: 3 (remove from endpoints after 3 failures)
+
+### Startup Probe Settings (Recommended)
+- **initialDelaySeconds**: 10s
+- **periodSeconds**: 10s
+- **failureThreshold**: 30 (allow up to 5 minutes for model loading)
+
+## Health Check Response Examples
+
+### Liveness Response (Healthy)
+```json
+{
+  "alive": true,
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-01T12:00:00Z",
+  "uptime_seconds": 3600.5,
+  "last_heartbeat": "2025-01-01T12:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+### Readiness Response (Ready)
+```json
+{
+  "ready": true,
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-01T12:00:00Z",
+  "checks": {
+    "memory_available": true,
+    "models_loaded": true,
+    "mlx_available": true
+  },
+  "message": "Ready"
+}
+```
+
+### Readiness Response (Not Ready)
+```json
+{
+  "ready": false,
+  "timestamp": "2025-01-01T12:00:00Z",
+  "checks": {
+    "memory_available": true,
+    "models_loaded": false,
+    "mlx_available": true
+  },
+  "message": "Not ready"
+}
+```
+
+## Monitoring Integration
+
+### Prometheus Metrics
+The `/api/health/metrics` endpoint provides Prometheus-compatible metrics:
+
+```
+# Health status metrics
+impetus_health_status 1
+impetus_consecutive_health_failures 0
+
+# System metrics
+impetus_cpu_usage_percent 45.2
+impetus_memory_usage_percent 67.8
+impetus_models_loaded 2
+
+# Application metrics
+impetus_requests_total 1234
+impetus_tokens_generated_total 56789
+impetus_average_latency_ms 250.5
+```
+
+### Grafana Dashboard
+Create alerts based on these metrics:
+- `impetus_health_status == 0` (unhealthy)
+- `impetus_consecutive_health_failures > 2` (repeated failures)
+- `impetus_cpu_usage_percent > 90` (high CPU)
+- `impetus_memory_usage_percent > 95` (memory pressure)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Readiness Probe Failing**
+   - Check if models are loaded: `GET /api/models/list`
+   - Verify MLX availability on macOS
+   - Check memory usage
+
+2. **Liveness Probe Failing**
+   - Application may be deadlocked
+   - Check logs for errors
+   - Verify heartbeat thread is running
+
+3. **Startup Probe Timeout**
+   - Increase `failureThreshold` for large models
+   - Check model download progress
+   - Verify sufficient memory
+
+### Debug Commands
+```bash
+# Check readiness
+kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- curl http://localhost:8080/api/health/ready
+
+# Check liveness
+kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- curl http://localhost:8080/api/health/live
+
+# Get detailed status
+kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- curl http://localhost:8080/api/health/status
+
+# Check metrics
+kubectl exec -it <pod-name> -- curl http://localhost:8080/api/health/metrics
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Resource Limits**: Set appropriate CPU and memory limits for ML workloads
+2. **Storage**: Use persistent volumes for model storage
+3. **Startup Time**: Allow sufficient time for model loading in startup probes
+4. **Monitoring**: Set up alerts based on health metrics
+5. **Graceful Shutdown**: Configure `terminationGracePeriodSeconds` appropriately
+6. **Node Selection**: Use node selectors for GPU/Apple Silicon nodes if needed

+          }
+        ]
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Log Aggregation (ELK Stack)
+```yaml
+# logstash.conf
+input {
+  file {
+    path => "/var/log/impetus/*.log"
+    type => "impetus"
+  }
+}
+
+filter {

+    json {
+      source => "message"
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+output {
+  elasticsearch {
+    hosts => ["elasticsearch:9200"]
+    index => "impetus-logs-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Hardening
+
+### API Key Management
+```bash
+# Generate secure API key
+openssl rand -hex 32
+
+# Store in environment
+export IMPETUS_API_KEY="your-generated-key"
+
+# Use secrets management
+kubectl create secret generic impetus-api-key \
+  --from-literal=key="your-generated-key"
+```
+
+### Network Security
+```bash
+# Firewall rules (ufw)
+sudo ufw allow 22/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
+sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
+sudo ufw deny 8080/tcp  # Block direct access
+sudo ufw enable
+```
+
+### Container Security
+```dockerfile
+# Use distroless or minimal base images
+FROM gcr.io/distroless/python3
+
+# Run as non-root user
+USER 1000:1000
+
+# Read-only root filesystem
+--read-only --tmpfs /tmp
+```
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### System Optimization
+```bash
+# Increase file descriptors
+echo "* soft nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
+echo "* hard nofile 65536" >> /etc/security/limits.conf
+
+# TCP optimization
+echo "net.core.rmem_max = 16777216" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
+echo "net.core.wmem_max = 16777216" >> /etc/sysctl.conf
+sysctl -p
+```
+
+### Application Tuning
+```bash
+# Environment variables
+export IMPETUS_WORKERS=4
+export IMPETUS_MAX_WORKER_MEMORY_MB=8192
+export IMPETUS_PERFORMANCE_MODE=performance
+```
+
+### Database Optimization (if using)
+```sql
+-- PostgreSQL optimization
+ALTER SYSTEM SET shared_buffers = '256MB';
+ALTER SYSTEM SET effective_cache_size = '1GB';
+ALTER SYSTEM SET work_mem = '4MB';
+```
+
+## Backup & Recovery
+
+### Model Backup Strategy
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# backup-models.sh
+
+BACKUP_DIR="/backup/models"
+MODELS_DIR="/models"
+DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+
+# Create backup directory
+mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR/$DATE"
+
+# Backup models
+rsync -av "$MODELS_DIR/" "$BACKUP_DIR/$DATE/"
+
+# Compress backup
+tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/models_$DATE.tar.gz" -C "$BACKUP_DIR" "$DATE"
+
+# Cleanup old backups (keep last 7 days)
+find "$BACKUP_DIR" -name "models_*.tar.gz" -mtime +7 -delete
+```
+
+### Configuration Backup
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# backup-config.sh
+
+kubectl get configmap impetus-config -o yaml > backup/configmap.yaml
+kubectl get secret impetus-secrets -o yaml > backup/secrets.yaml
+kubectl get deployment impetus-server -o yaml > backup/deployment.yaml
+```
+
+### Recovery Procedures
+```bash
+# Restore from backup
+tar -xzf models_20250101_120000.tar.gz
+rsync -av models_20250101_120000/ /models/
+
+# Restart services
+kubectl rollout restart deployment/impetus-server
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### 1. High Memory Usage
+```bash
+# Check memory usage
+kubectl top pods -n impetus-system
+
+# Scale down replicas
+kubectl scale deployment impetus-server --replicas=1
+
+# Check for memory leaks
+kubectl exec -it pod-name -- ps aux
+```
+
+#### 2. Model Loading Failures
+```bash
+# Check disk space
+df -h /models
+
+# Check model integrity
+python -c "import mlx.core as mx; print('MLX working')"
+
+# Clear cache
+rm -rf /models/.cache/*
+```
+
+#### 3. SSL Certificate Issues
+```bash
+# Check certificate expiry
+openssl x509 -in cert.pem -text -noout | grep "Not After"
+
+# Renew certificate
+certbot renew --dry-run
+```
+
+#### 4. Performance Issues
+```bash
+# Check system metrics
+top
+iostat 1
+nvidia-smi  # If using GPU
+
+# Check application logs
+kubectl logs -f deployment/impetus-server
+

+    expr: up{job="impetus"} == 0
+    for: 1m
+    labels:
+      severity: critical
+    annotations:
+      summary: "Impetus server is down"
+  
+  - alert: HighMemoryUsage
+    expr: impetus_memory_usage_percent > 90
+    for: 5m
+    labels:
+      severity: warning
+    annotations:
+      summary: "High memory usage detected"
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Scaling**: Start with single instance, scale horizontally as needed
+2. **Monitoring**: Implement comprehensive monitoring from day one
+3. **Security**: Use secrets management, enable TLS, restrict network access
+4. **Backup**: Regular automated backups of models and configuration
+5. **Updates**: Use rolling updates with health checks
+6. **Testing**: Test deployments in staging environment first

+# Production Server Configuration
+
+This guide covers deploying Impetus LLM Server with Gunicorn for production use.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Install Production Dependencies
+```bash
+cd gerdsen_ai_server
+pip install -r requirements_production.txt
+```
+
+### 2. Start Production Server
+```bash
+# Using the startup script
+./start_production.sh
+
+# Or directly with Gunicorn
+gunicorn --config gunicorn_config.py wsgi:application
+```
+
+## Configuration Options
+
+### Environment Variables
+- `IMPETUS_ENVIRONMENT=production` - Enable production mode
+- `IMPETUS_HOST=0.0.0.0` - Bind address (default: 0.0.0.0)
+- `IMPETUS_PORT=8080` - Port number (default: 8080)
+- `IMPETUS_WORKERS=auto` - Number of workers (default: auto-detect)
+- `IMPETUS_LOG_LEVEL=info` - Log level (default: info)
+- `IMPETUS_MAX_WORKER_MEMORY_MB=4096` - Max memory per worker
+
+### Gunicorn Configuration
+The `gunicorn_config.py` file includes:
+- **Workers**: Auto-configured based on CPU cores (max 4 for ML workloads)
+- **Worker Class**: `eventlet` for WebSocket support
+- **Timeout**: 300 seconds for long-running inference
+- **Memory Monitoring**: Auto-restart workers exceeding memory limits
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: 120 seconds graceful timeout
+
+## Deployment Methods
+
+### 1. Systemd (Linux)
+```bash
+# Copy service file
+sudo cp service/impetus.service /etc/systemd/system/
+
+# Reload systemd
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+
+# Enable and start service
+sudo systemctl enable impetus
+sudo systemctl start impetus
+
+# Check status
+sudo systemctl status impetus
+```
+
+### 2. Launchd (macOS)
+```bash
+# Copy plist file
+sudo cp service/com.gerdsenai.impetus.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/
+
+# Load service
+sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.gerdsenai.impetus.plist
+
+# Check status
+sudo launchctl list | grep impetus
+```
+
+### 3. Docker
+```bash
+# Build image
+docker build -t impetus-llm-server .
+
+# Run container
+docker run -d \
+  --name impetus \
+  -p 8080:8080 \
+  -v ./models:/models \
+  -e IMPETUS_ENVIRONMENT=production \
+  impetus-llm-server
+```
+
+## Reverse Proxy Setup
+
+### Nginx Configuration
+```nginx
+upstream impetus_backend {
+    server 127.0.0.1:8080;
+    keepalive 32;
+}
+
+server {
+    listen 443 ssl http2;
+    server_name your-domain.com;
+    
+    # SSL configuration
+    ssl_certificate /path/to/cert.pem;
+    ssl_certificate_key /path/to/key.pem;
+    ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
+    ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
+    
+    # Proxy settings
+    location / {
+        proxy_pass http://impetus_backend;
+        proxy_http_version 1.1;
+        
+        # WebSocket support
+        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
+        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
+        
+        # Headers
+        proxy_set_header Host $host;
+        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
+        
+        # Timeouts for long-running inference
+        proxy_connect_timeout 300s;
+        proxy_send_timeout 300s;
+        proxy_read_timeout 300s;
+        
+        # Buffer settings
+        proxy_buffering off;
+        proxy_request_buffering off;
+    }
+    
+    # Health check endpoint
+    location /health {
+        proxy_pass http://impetus_backend/api/health/status;
+        access_log off;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Tuning
+
+### 1. Worker Configuration
+```bash
+# For high concurrency (API usage)
+export IMPETUS_WORKERS=4
+
+# For large models (limited memory)
+export IMPETUS_WORKERS=2
+export IMPETUS_MAX_WORKER_MEMORY_MB=8192
+```
+
+### 2. System Limits
+```bash
+# Increase file descriptors
+ulimit -n 65536
+
+# For persistent settings, add to /etc/security/limits.conf:
+* soft nofile 65536
+* hard nofile 65536
+```
+
+### 3. Memory Management
+- Workers auto-restart when exceeding memory limits
+- Configure `IMPETUS_MAX_WORKER_MEMORY_MB` based on your system
+- Use `preload_app = True` in gunicorn_config.py for better memory sharing
+
+## Monitoring
+
+### Health Endpoints
+- `/api/health/status` - Basic health check
+- `/api/health/ready` - Readiness probe
+- `/api/hardware/metrics` - System metrics
+
+### Logs
+- **Systemd**: `journalctl -u impetus -f`
+- **Docker**: `docker logs -f impetus`
+- **Manual**: Check stdout/stderr or configured log files
+
+### Metrics
+The server provides Prometheus-compatible metrics at `/metrics` endpoint (when enabled).
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **API Key**: Always set `IMPETUS_API_KEY` in production
+2. **CORS**: Configure `IMPETUS_CORS_ORIGINS` appropriately
+3. **SSL/TLS**: Use reverse proxy for SSL termination
+4. **Firewall**: Restrict direct access to Gunicorn port
+5. **Updates**: Keep dependencies updated
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Worker Memory Errors**
+   - Reduce worker count
+   - Increase `IMPETUS_MAX_WORKER_MEMORY_MB`
+   - Check model sizes
+
+2. **WebSocket Connection Failed**
+   - Ensure `eventlet` worker class is used
+   - Check reverse proxy WebSocket configuration
+   - Verify CORS settings
+
+3. **Slow Performance**
+   - Check worker count vs CPU cores
+   - Monitor memory usage
+   - Review model loading strategy
+
+### Debug Mode
+```bash
+# Enable debug logging
+export IMPETUS_LOG_LEVEL=debug
+gunicorn --config gunicorn_config.py --log-level debug wsgi:application
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Load Balancing**: Use multiple instances behind a load balancer
+2. **Model Persistence**: Configure model cache directory
+3. **Monitoring**: Set up alerts for memory/CPU usage
+4. **Backups**: Regular backups of models and configuration
+5. **Updates**: Test updates in staging before production

+# Impetus LLM Server - Installers
+
+This directory contains various installers for different deployment scenarios.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+For users who want a fully self-contained macOS app (no dependencies):
+```bash
+./macos_standalone_app.sh
+```
+
+This creates a standalone `Impetus.app` with Python and all dependencies included. Users don't need anything installed!
+
+## Available Installers
+
+### 1. macOS Standalone App (`macos_standalone_app.sh`) ⭐ RECOMMENDED
+**Best for: End users who want it to "just work"**
+- Creates a fully self-contained .app bundle
+- Includes Python runtime and all dependencies
+- No requirements on user's system
+- ~250MB download but instant start
+- Professional distribution-ready DMG
+
+### 2. macOS Simple App (`macos_simple_app.sh`)
+**Best for: Users who already have Python installed**
+- Creates a standard .app bundle
+- Generates .dmg for distribution  
+- Auto-installs dependencies on first launch
+- Requires: Python 3.11+ on user's system
+- Smaller download (~50MB)
+
+### 3. macOS GUI Installer (`macos_gui_installer.sh`)
+**Best for: Creating a traditional .pkg installer**
+- Creates a .pkg installer with installation wizard
+- Includes pre/post install scripts
+- Professional installation experience
+- Note: Currently has issues with bundling dependencies
+
+### 4. macOS App Bundle Builder (`macos_app_builder.sh`)
+**Best for: Fully self-contained app (experimental)**
+- Attempts to bundle Python runtime
+- No dependencies required on user's system
+- Larger file size
+- More complex build process
+
+### 5. Production Installer (`production_installer.sh`)
+**Best for: Server deployments**
+- Sets up Gunicorn + nginx
+- Configures as system service
+- Production-grade deployment
+- For servers, not desktop users
+
+### 6. Docker Installer (`docker_installer.sh`)
+**Best for: Container deployments**
+- Creates Docker images
+- Sets up docker-compose
+- Good for cloud deployments
+
+### 7. Service Installer (`service_installer.sh`)
+**Best for: Adding service integration**
+- Adds systemd/launchd service
+- For existing installations
+- Auto-start on boot
+
+### 8. Uninstaller (`uninstaller.sh`)
+- Removes Impetus installations
+- Supports all installation types
+- Optional data preservation
+
+### 9. Updater (`updater.sh`)
+- Zero-downtime updates
+- Automatic rollback on failure
+- For existing installations
+
+## Distribution Guide
+
+### For Desktop Users
+
+1. **Best Option**: Use `macos_standalone_app.sh` ⭐
+   ```bash
+   ./macos_standalone_app.sh
+   # Creates Impetus-Standalone-1.0.0.dmg
+   ```
+   
+   Users need:
+   - macOS 13.0+ on Apple Silicon
+   - Nothing else! Everything included!
+
+2. **Smaller Download**: Use `macos_simple_app.sh`
+   ```bash
+   ./macos_simple_app.sh
+   # Creates Impetus-1.0.0.dmg
+   ```
+   
+   Users need:
+   - macOS 13.0+ on Apple Silicon
+   - Python 3.11+ (from python.org or Homebrew)
+
+3. **Traditional Installer**: Use `macos_gui_installer.sh`
+   ```bash
+   ./macos_gui_installer.sh
+   # Creates Impetus-LLM-Server-1.0.0.pkg
+   ```
+
+### For Servers
+
+Use `production_installer.sh` for a full production setup:
+```bash
+./production_installer.sh
+```
+
+### For Containers
+
+Use `docker_installer.sh`:
+```bash
+./docker_installer.sh
+```
+
+## Signing and Notarization
+
+For distribution outside your organization:
+
+1. **Code Signing**: Get a Developer ID certificate from Apple
+2. **Notarization**: Required for Gatekeeper on macOS 10.15+
+
+Without signing, users must right-click and select "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### App won't open
+- Check if Python 3.11+ is installed
+- Right-click and select "Open" if unsigned
+- Check Console.app for error messages
+
+### Dependencies fail to install
+- Ensure good internet connection
+- Check available disk space
+- Try running from Terminal to see errors
+
+### Server won't start
+- Check if port 8080 is already in use
+- Look at ~/Library/Application Support/Impetus/impetus.log
+- Ensure Apple Silicon Mac (M1/M2/M3/M4)
+
+## Development Notes
+
+The installers follow this philosophy:
+- **Simple > Complex**: Start with the simple app for most users
+- **Progressive Enhancement**: Users can install Python when ready
+- **No Surprises**: Clear requirements and error messages
+- **User Control**: Apps don't auto-install without permission
