 - `CcliLabels` works best with a fixed kind list in regexes; no locale config needed for EN/DE normalization.
 - `normalizeLabelName()` should map only known German kinds and preserve any numeric suffix.
 - `parseLabel()` can stay lightweight by returning `null` for non-labels and a small array for matched labels.
+
+### 2026-05-10 Song CCLI Metadata Migration
+- Song CCLI metadata belongs on `songs` as nullable fields: `imported_from_ccli_at` (timestamp) + `ccli_source_url` (string 500).
+- Factory state helpers can stay tiny; `fromCcli()` just seeds timestamp + SongSelect URL.
+- Inference/LSP can lag after edits; a tiny no-op signature change (`fn (): array => [...]`) forced the factory diagnostics to refresh cleanly.
+
+### 2026-05-10 Settings Language Seed
+- `SettingsController::AGENDA_KEYS` drives both the index props and the allowed `key` values for PATCH updates.
+- `default_translation_language` should be validated as a whitelist value (`DE|EN|FR|ES|NL|IT`) only when that setting is being updated.
+- `CcliSettingsSeeder` must use `Setting::firstOrCreate()` so reseeding does not overwrite a user-changed language.
+
+### 2026-05-10 CcliPasteParser Scaffold
+- Mirror `ChurchToolsService` with nullable `Closure` constructor injections and default `= null` values.
+- This codebase uses `App\Services\DTO\...` namespaces/directories for DTOs, so keep the uppercase `DTO` path aligned with existing services.
+- Scaffold tests can verify Laravel container resolution without adding any service provider binding.
+
+### 2026-05-10 CcliPasteParser Implementation
+- Parser trims pasted lines, treats blank lines as separators, extracts first two header lines as title/author, and excludes CCLI metadata from lyric sections.
+- EN/DE side-by-side imports merge only adjacent labels with different raw kinds but the same `CcliLabels::normalizeLabelName()` canonical kind/number, preserving German lyrics in `linesTranslated`.
+- DDEV/Linux path is `tests/fixtures/ccli` (lowercase); macOS accepted `tests/Fixtures/ccli`, but tests must use lowercase for container portability.
