 ## Repository layout
 
 - `apps/immich-sync/` is the desired Kubernetes state for Immich Share Sync.
+- `apps/immichframe/` wraps the reusable ImmichFrame chart with this cluster's
+  hostname, album selection, resources, and encrypted API credential.
 - `bootstrap/` contains Argo CD projects and Applications, including the
   upstream Sealed Secrets controller.
 - `scripts/update-immich-sync-image.sh` is the single image-promotion interface used by CI.
+- `scripts/update-immichframe-chart.sh` is the chart-promotion interface used
+  by ImmichFrame chart CI.
 
 The only canonical Immich Share Sync image version is `images[0].newTag` in
 `apps/immich-sync/kustomization.yaml`. The resource manifest deliberately omits a tag, and Kustomize supplies the
 immutable full Git SHA while rendering.
 
+The only canonical ImmichFrame chart version is the `immichframe` dependency
+in `apps/immichframe/Chart.yaml`. Chart CI publishes a unique immutable version
+and commits that dependency update here. The chart owns the reusable workload
+shape; `apps/immichframe/values.yaml` owns only this cluster's choices.
+
 ## First-time setup
 
 The cluster already runs Argo CD in the `argocd` namespace and exposes its UI at <https://cd.brunner.ninja>.
