+**Disk space:** `verify-operator-ready` and scrape entrypoints fail below 1 GiB free by default (`DCE_MIN_FREE_MB`, default 1024). Large channel JSON merges need extra headroom.

+# docs: LFG closure — sync operator docs and GUI bridge
+
+## Summary
+
+Recurring scrape implementation is complete. Update operator-facing docs so GUI zip users and README readers see `operator-handoff.sh`, disk preflight, and the correct `run-documents-scrape.sh` invocation (no `scrape` subcommand).
+
+## Requirements
+
+| ID | Requirement |
+|----|-------------|
+| R1 | `Readme.md` See also mentions `operator-handoff.sh` |
+| R2 | `.docs/Recurring-Scrape-Setup.md` quick path includes handoff + disk note |
+| R3 | `DiscordChatExporter.linux-x64/RECURRING-SCRAPE.md` updated (sibling bridge) |
+| R4 | `run-all-smokes.sh` still passes (17 smokes) |
+
