   - `main.go` — entry point (docstring lists the command tree).
   - `common.go` — `rootCmd`, `newOO`, `printTable`/`printObject`, `--output table|json` flag.
-  - `calendar.go`, `projects.go`, `projects_files.go`, `tasks.go`, `tasks_files.go`, `users.go`, `contacts.go`, `opportunities.go`, `cases.go`, `crm_tasks.go`, `apps.go` — one file per subject (or per subject facet), each registers in `init()`.

   - CLI-only deps (`spf13/cobra`, `joho/godotenv`) stay out of the library.
+- **Catalog inventory — `catalog/` package.** Filesystem VCF/project scan → YAML → match/apply against CRM. Used by `oo catalog`; not part of the flat `*Client` surface (uses Client as a dependency).
 - **TUI — `cmd/office/` as `package main`.** Bubble Tea three-pane browser (module tree, selectable list, markdown preview). Reuses `cmd/internal/bootstrap` for env/auth and the root `onlyoffice` library for all API calls. UI logic in `cmd/office/ui/`; preview/formatting in `cmd/office/preview/`; list loaders in `cmd/office/fetch/`.
   - **List table (`DataTable`)** — `cmd/office/ui/table*.go`. Column layout policies live in `cmd/office/model/table_layout.go` (`TableFlexLayoutFor`); cell rendering uses the bubbles/table inline pattern in `table_render.go` (`renderTableCell`, `padANSIWidth`). See `.cursor/skills/office-tui-table/SKILL.md` before changing center-pane tables.
 - **Shared bootstrap — `cmd/internal/bootstrap/`.** `LoadEnv()` + `NewClient(ctx)` extracted from `oo`; both binaries import it.

+### Clients/contacts inventory (`catalog`)

+**Problem:** Contacts live as VCF/folders on disk and project trees under
+`~/work` / ops-host; OnlyOffice CRM is the SSOT for persons/companies but
+starts sparse. You need a reviewable inventory before writes.
+
+```bash
+oo catalog scan-contacts --root /path/to/contacts -O /tmp/contacts.yaml
+oo catalog scan-projects --root ~/work -O /tmp/projects.yaml
+oo catalog merge -i /tmp/contacts.yaml -i /tmp/projects.yaml -O clients-contacts.yaml

+# set approve: true on pilot rows in the YAML
+oo catalog apply --dry-run -i clients-contacts.yaml
+oo catalog apply --apply -i clients-contacts.yaml
+oo crm cleanup

+YAML schema and ops runbook live in the inventar repo under `docs/catalog/` and
+`docs/ops/oo-clients-contacts-sync.md`. Library helper: `FindPersonByEmail`.

 ### Job applications → CRM (`applications sync`)
