   - Client servers update themselves against the master authority (`logar.eibl.tech`) over mTLS (`python src/Server.py --sync-license` or via WebUI / automated watchdog).
   - Seat quotas can be increased with each renewal or updated on-demand on the master authority.
   - The client server automatically detects the higher seat count in the signed certificate's OID, updates its database and runtime configuration, and reloads its in-flight `ssl.SSLContext` without dropping client connections or restarting services.
+- **Automated Container Pipeline & Portainer GitOps Deployment**:
+  - The license authority repository includes a dedicated CI/CD workflow ([`.gitea/workflows/build-container.yml`](file:///u:/max/Desktop/LOGAR/LOGAR-LICENSING/.gitea/workflows/build-container.yml)) compiling and publishing the container image to `gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/logar-licensing:latest`.
+  - It deploys seamlessly in Portainer using a GitOps Stack connected directly to [`LOGAR-LICENSING`](https://gitea.eibl.tech/me0nline/LOGAR-LICENSING.git) via [`docker-compose.yml`](file:///u:/max/Desktop/LOGAR/LOGAR-LICENSING/docker-compose.yml) with automatic polling or webhook redeployment and persistent volume storage (`logar_licensing_data`) preserving Root CA keys and database.

 - **State Tracking & Deduplication**: Maintains persistent client state in `client_state.json` (tracking systemd journalctl cursors and microsecond timestamps) so every log record is forwarded exactly once without duplicates.
 - **Fleet Seat Accounting & License Revocation**: Each enrolled client consumes 1 seat from the hub's master license. If revoked by an administrator via the hub WebUI, socket connections are immediately dropped and blocked until reactivated.
 - **Dynamic Seat Expansion & Automatic Hub Synchronization**: The forwarder benefits from the hub's dynamic seat quota expansion; as the hub's license seats are increased and synced with the master authority (`logar.eibl.tech`), edge capacity expands automatically without requiring forwarder configuration changes.
+- **Master Authority High Availability (Portainer GitOps)**: The authoritative license server at `logar.eibl.tech` runs containerized via Portainer GitOps with automated pipeline builds, ensuring high availability for client seat verification and renewals.
