Prototype

Tidyyy is a systems and product architecture prototype for a lightweight utility that watches folders and renames screenshots, images, and PDFs from their contents.

The proposed design uses an event-driven Go daemon, OCR and PDF extraction, a local naming model with an optional cloud fallback, deterministic slug validation, atomic renames, conflict handling, append-only SQLite history, undo, and a CPU-aware scheduler.

The design targets low idle CPU, low memory use, bounded concurrency, and a small binary. The current repository describes a proposed architecture, so I describe the work as designed and prototyped rather than production-complete.
