Term

Meaning here

library

The reference manager catalogue (Zotero is well tested). Not a TranscriptX transcript library.

attach

Write a PDF into Zotero as a stored child. The write gate.

admit

Do not use in Paperful. That verb is TranscriptX (originals/ → managed transcripts).

mirror / out/

Quiet on-disk copy: one folder per item (record.json, PDF, notes). Copy it yourself.

state/

Run reports, sessions, write keys. Lives next to out/ under PAPERFUL_DATA.

import

RIS / BibTeX / EndNote XML into the manager. Not an “import inbox.”

run

Fill PDFs for items already in the library.

reachout

Contact-only list of missing PDFs (CSV / RG tabs). Never fetches. Never sends mail.

dry-run

Show what would happen; no durable write to the library of record.

--apply

Explicit second step that mutates the catalogue.

doctor

Readiness probe (green / amber / red + next steps).

Ask

Opt-in RAG over papers in out/. Distinct from per-paper --question-id.

--link

Attachment surgery (stored → linked). Advanced; only with --apply. Not the stranger door.

Mounts

Host PAPERFUL_DATA is mounted at container /data. out/ and state/ are directories inside that tree (/data/out, /data/state). Compose does not mount Zotero Storage as a writable volume.
