## Status
## Capabilities

Working and deployed. Only the **Brother PT-2730** is print-supported and
hardware-certified; other recognized models do not receive print output.

| Milestone | Scope | State |
|-----------|-------|-------|
| M0 | Hardware spike: confirm the raster bytes and the `usb://` hang on real hardware | Done |
| M1 | Pure C core: device table, protocol command builders, raster packing, status parse | Done |
| M2 | PAPPL adapter and read path: custom `ptouch://` libusb scheme, media/status callback | Done |
| M3 | Print path: 1:1 geometry, roll media, per-tape imageable width | Done |
| M4 | Cutter modes, chaining, and the strict width guard | Done |
| M5 | Packaging, GHCR publishing, container deployment | Done |

What it does today:
Only the **Brother PT-2730** is print-supported and hardware-certified;
other recognized models do not receive print output.

- Prints 1:1 within the tape's imageable width, honoring submitted page geometry;
PNG length follows its image when a concrete media length is omitted.

recovers on its own when it comes back - queued jobs then print.

Known gaps are tracked as issues; cross-tape centring is uncalibrated.
Only PT-2730 behavior is hardware-certified.
