PUMPKO v1.6.0 - A-NET INTERBBS SCORE HUB
=======================================

Official Score Hub:
https://scores.a-net.online

AUTOMATIC ENROLLMENT
--------------------
New BBS installations register automatically when InterBBS
score sharing is enabled during Pumpko setup.

The installer sends the BBS name and game ID to the Score Hub.
The server creates a unique private credential and returns it
to the installer, which saves it in hub/sync.json.

Sysops do NOT need to generate, exchange, or manually register
a secret with the Score Hub operator.

EXISTING INSTALLATIONS
----------------------
Keep the existing hub/sync.json file when upgrading.

A registered BBS identity cannot be registered again using
the same name. Restore the original credentials if necessary.

SCORE SYNCHRONIZATION
---------------------
The Linux synchronization helper is:

./PUMPKO-CONFIG --sync

Scores are submitted using authenticated HTTPS requests.
The helper also downloads story and daily leaderboards.

The game uses local outbox and synchronization state files
to track submissions and avoid duplicate uploads.

SECURITY
--------
Never publish hub/sync.json or its backups.
Never include live credentials in release packages.

The Score Hub authentication credential is generated by
the server automatically and must remain private.
