+## 2026-04-18 — GuruRMM is now a git submodule
+
+The `projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm/` folder is no longer tracked as regular
+files in claudetools. It is now a git submodule pointing to the live gururmm
+Gitea repo. You need to initialize it on ACG-TECH03L.
+
+**Run this once after pulling:**
+
+```bash
+cd D:/claudetools   # or wherever your claudetools checkout is
+git submodule update --init projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm
+```
+
+This clones the full gururmm repo into that folder. After that, pulling
+claudetools will NOT automatically update the submodule — you need to
+run this to get the latest gururmm code:
+
+```bash
+git submodule update --remote projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm
+```
+
+**Working on gururmm code going forward:**
+
+```bash
+cd projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm   # this is now its own repo
+git pull                          # get latest
+# make changes, commit, push as normal
+cd ../../../                      # back to claudetools root
+git add projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm
+git commit -m "chore: update gururmm submodule pointer"
+```
+
+**Why this changed:**
+
+The old copy in claudetools was drifting behind the live repo on the server.
+Features were being built in the gururmm repo that session logs in claudetools
+marked as "Done" — causing context loss between sessions. Submodule means
+one source of truth.
+
+**Gitea credentials** for the submodule are stored in your local git config,
+not in .gitmodules. If the submodule can't authenticate, run:
+
+```bash
+git config --local submodule."projects/msp-tools/guru-rmm".url \
+  "https://azcomputerguru:Gptf%2A77ttb123%21%40%23-git@git.azcomputerguru.com/azcomputerguru/gururmm.git"
+git submodule sync
+```
