## Common questions

### Do I need SeerrNG running to use ChaptarrNG?

No, ChaptarrNG runs on its own. It still identifies itself as Chaptarr through its Readarr-compatible API so SeerrNG can detect it.

### Can I point ChaptarrNG at a library I cannot afford to lose?

The README warns that ChaptarrNG is beta software and breaking changes are possible. Keep regular backups and avoid libraries you cannot lose.

### Can I migrate my BookshelfNG data into ChaptarrNG?

Yes, the current release includes BookshelfNG SQLite migration and rollback tools. The helper creates an appdata archive before running the tools.

### Will ChaptarrNG change existing author roots during setup?

It initializes new author format paths from configured defaults, but explicit roots and existing authors are left alone.

### Are new ChaptarrNG releases currently being published?

Publication is frozen until migration, rollback, feature-parity, and install-channel acceptance gates are closed. The release and distribution workflows fail closed unless the repository variable is set.
