tayda-uv v1.0.0

First release. A test enclosure has been printed from its output and came
back as drawn.

Added

• Enclosures: 125B, 1590A, 1590B, 1590BB, 1590BB2, 1590D, 1590DD and
  1590XX, all six sides each, transcribed from V2 (22 April 2026) of Tayda's
  file preparation guide. tayda-uv sides prints each side's artboard, the
  pixel minimum for 300 DPI and Tayda's printing tolerance.
• validate checks an image against a side: 300 DPI at physical size,
  aspect ratio within 0.5%, and a warning when the artwork looks rotated 90°.
  Exit codes tell a script "not printable" (1) from "typed wrong" (2).
• convert writes the print-ready PDF: one artboard at the exact size,
  artwork in DeviceCMYK with no RGB anywhere, RDG_WHITE undercoat and
  optional RDG_GLOSS varnish as spot colours, painted White → CMYK → Gloss.
  -white none|auto|full, -gloss none|full|artwork|mask, -gloss-mask
  for coating one element, and -force for printing anyway after reading
  the problems. Gloss coverage is reported with the guide's fingerprint
  warning above 50%. The PDF is written atomically, so a failed conversion
  leaves nothing behind.
• inspect reads a finished PDF back, independently of the code that
  wrote it, and reports the artboard and which sides it matches, the colour
  spaces, the spot-colour names and the actual paint order. Works on PDFs
  from other tools too, and refuses to call a file clean that it could not
  fully read.
• SVG artwork, rasterised for the target side at 600 DPI (-dpi). Text,
  embedded images, clips, masks, filters and patterns are refused with a
  message saying what to do, rather than silently dropped.
• Interactive interface: run with no arguments, choose an enclosure,
  attach artwork to each side with a file picker, set white and gloss, and
  convert every side in one pass. Everything it does is also a flag.
• version command, for bug reports.
• A Claude Code skill that teaches an agent the
  validate → convert → inspect workflow and the rules around -force,
  gloss and Tayda's Analyzer.
• A wiki
  with installation, first steps, preparing artwork, every enclosure's
  sizes, white and gloss, the command line, checking the output and
  troubleshooting.

Install: download the archive for your machine, extract it, and put tayda-uv somewhere on your PATH (/usr/local/bin, ~/bin, ~/go/bin). macOS: the binary is not notarized, so on first run macOS may refuse it; xattr -d com.apple.quarantine tayda-uv clears that, or open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Verify a download against SHA256SUMS with shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.

Or build from source with go install github.com/drlholloway/tayda-uv-artwork-processor/cmd/tayda-uv@latest.

Run tayda-uv version to confirm which build you have. Help and how-tos are on the wiki. Full history: CHANGELOG.md
