 ## Architecture
 
-- **Manager**: Central server with REST API, web UI, DuckDB database, and local file storage
+- **Manager**: Central server with REST API, embedded web UI, SQLite database, and local file storage
 - **Runner**: Linux amd64 client that connects to manager, receives jobs, executes Blender renders, and reports back
 
+Both manager and runner are part of a single binary (`jiggablend`) with subcommands.
+
 ## Features
 
-- OAuth authentication (Google and Discord)
-- Web-based job submission and monitoring
-- Distributed rendering across multiple runners
-- Real-time job progress tracking
-- File upload/download for Blender files and rendered outputs
-- Runner health monitoring
+- **Authentication**: OAuth (Google and Discord) and local authentication with user management
+- **Web UI**: Modern React-based interface for job submission and monitoring
+- **Distributed Rendering**: Scale across multiple runners with automatic job distribution
+- **Real-time Updates**: WebSocket-based progress tracking and job status updates
+- **Video Encoding**: Automatic video encoding from EXR/PNG sequences with multiple codec support:
+  - H.264 (MP4) - SDR and HDR support
+  - AV1 (MP4) - With alpha channel support
+  - VP9 (WebM) - With alpha channel and HDR support
+- **Output Formats**: PNG, JPEG, EXR, and video formats (MP4, WebM)
+- **Blender Version Management**: Support for multiple Blender versions with automatic detection
+- **Metadata Extraction**: Automatic extraction of scene metadata from Blender files
+- **Admin Panel**: User and runner management interface
+- **Runner Management**: API key-based authentication for runners with health monitoring
+- **HDR Support**: Preserve HDR range in video encoding with HLG transfer function
+- **Alpha Channel**: Preserve alpha channel in video encoding (AV1 and VP9)

-- DuckDB (via Go driver)
+- Go 1.25.4 or later
+- SQLite (via Go driver)
+- Blender installed and in PATH (for metadata extraction)
+- ImageMagick installed (for EXR preview conversion)

 ### Manager
 
-Set the following environment variables for authentication (optional):
+Configuration is managed through the CLI using `jiggablend manager config` commands. The configuration is stored in the SQLite database.
+
+#### Initial Setup
+
+For testing, use the Makefile helper:
+```bash
+make init-test
+```
+
+This will:
+- Enable local authentication
+- Set a fixed API key for testing
+- Create a test admin user (test@example.com / testpassword)
+
+#### Manual Configuration
 
 ```bash
-# OAuth Providers (optional)
-export GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID="your-google-client-id"
-export GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET="your-google-client-secret"
-export GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URL="http://localhost:8080/api/auth/google/callback"
+# Enable local authentication

-export DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET="your-discord-client-secret"
-export DISCORD_REDIRECT_URL="http://localhost:8080/api/auth/discord/callback"
+# Add a user

-# Local Authentication (optional)
-export ENABLE_LOCAL_AUTH="true"
+# Generate an API key for runners

-# Test User (optional, for testing only)
-# Creates a local user on startup if it doesn't exist
-export LOCAL_TEST_EMAIL="test@example.com"
-export LOCAL_TEST_PASSWORD="testpassword"
+# Set OAuth credentials
+jiggablend manager config set google-oauth <client-id> <client-secret> --redirect-url <url>
+jiggablend manager config set discord-oauth <client-id> <client-secret> --redirect-url <url>
+
+# View current configuration
+jiggablend manager config show
+
+# List users and API keys
+jiggablend manager config list users
+jiggablend manager config list apikeys
 ```
 
+#### Environment Variables
+
+You can also use environment variables with the `JIGGABLEND_` prefix:
+- `JIGGABLEND_PORT` - Server port (default: 8080)
+- `JIGGABLEND_DB` - Database path (default: jiggablend.db)
+- `JIGGABLEND_STORAGE` - Storage path (default: ./jiggablend-storage)
+- `JIGGABLEND_LOG_FILE` - Log file path
+- `JIGGABLEND_LOG_LEVEL` - Log level (debug, info, warn, error)
+- `JIGGABLEND_VERBOSE` - Enable verbose logging
+
 ### Runner
 
-No configuration required. Runner will auto-detect hostname and IP.
+The runner requires an API key to connect to the manager. The runner will auto-detect hostname and IP.
