## Setup Per Engagement
1. Edit `config.ini` -- point `backup_dir`, `export_dir`, and `output_dir` at the client's directories. This file is created automatically from `config.template.ini` the first time you run any script (it's git-ignored, so your machine-specific paths never drift the repo). To reset a machine, delete `config.ini` and re-run. Keep shared/default changes in `config.template.ini` (the tracked file).
2. Populate `fccs_folders.txt` -- open FCCS > System Configuration > Document Folders and list each folder template exactly as shown, one per line. Keep the `YYYY` prefix on recurring folders. UltraTax CS folders are detected automatically and do not need to be listed.
2. Populate `fccs_folders.txt` -- open FCCS > System Configuration > Document Folders and list each folder template exactly as shown, one per line. Keep the `YYYY` prefix on recurring folders. UltraTax CS folders are detected automatically and do not need to be listed. Like `config.ini`, this file is auto-created from `fccs_folders.template.txt` on first use and is git-ignored — edit it freely per engagement; put only broadly-useful defaults in the tracked template.
