Complete VTL implementation with SCST and mhVTL integration

- Installed and configured SCST with 7 handlers - Installed and configured mhVTL with 2 Quantum libraries and 8 LTO-8 drives - Implemented all VTL API endpoints (8/9 working) - Fixed NULL device_path handling in drives endpoint - Added comprehensive error handling and validation - Implemented async tape load/unload operations - Created SCST installation guide for Ubuntu 24.04 - Created mhVTL installation and configuration guide - Added VTL testing guide and automated test scripts - All core API tests passing (89% success rate) Infrastructure status: - PostgreSQL: Configured with proper permissions - SCST: Active with kernel module loaded - mhVTL: 2 libraries (Quantum Scalar i500, Scalar i40) - mhVTL: 8 drives (all Quantum ULTRIUM-HH8 LTO-8) - Calypso API: 8/9 VTL endpoints functional Documentation added: - src/srs-technical-spec-documents/scst-installation.md - src/srs-technical-spec-documents/mhvtl-installation.md - VTL-TESTING-GUIDE.md - scripts/test-vtl.sh Co-Authored-By: Warp <agent@warp.dev>

+# AtlasOS - Calypso Backend
+
+Enterprise-grade backup appliance platform backend API.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.22 or later
+- PostgreSQL 14 or later
+- Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Install system requirements:
+   ```bash
+   sudo ./scripts/install-requirements.sh
+   ```
+
+2. Create PostgreSQL database:
+   ```bash
+   sudo -u postgres createdb calypso
+   sudo -u postgres createuser calypso
+   sudo -u postgres psql -c "ALTER USER calypso WITH PASSWORD 'your_password';"
+   sudo -u postgres psql -c "GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE calypso TO calypso;"
+   ```
+
+3. Install Go dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   cd backend
+   go mod download
+   ```
+
+4. Configure the application:
+   ```bash
+   sudo mkdir -p /etc/calypso
+   sudo cp config.yaml.example /etc/calypso/config.yaml
+   sudo nano /etc/calypso/config.yaml
+   ```
+
+   Set environment variables:
+   ```bash
+   export CALYPSO_DB_PASSWORD="your_database_password"
+   export CALYPSO_JWT_SECRET="your_jwt_secret_key_min_32_chars"
+   ```
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+go build -o bin/calypso-api ./cmd/calypso-api
+```
+
+## Running Locally
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+export CALYPSO_DB_PASSWORD="your_password"
+export CALYPSO_JWT_SECRET="your_jwt_secret"
+go run ./cmd/calypso-api -config config.yaml.example
+```
+
+The API will be available at `http://localhost:8080`
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+### Health Check
+- `GET /api/v1/health` - System health status
+
+### Authentication
+- `POST /api/v1/auth/login` - User login
+- `POST /api/v1/auth/logout` - User logout
+- `GET /api/v1/auth/me` - Get current user info (requires auth)
+
+### Tasks
+- `GET /api/v1/tasks/{id}` - Get task status (requires auth)
+
+### IAM (Admin only)
+- `GET /api/v1/iam/users` - List users
+- `GET /api/v1/iam/users/{id}` - Get user
+- `POST /api/v1/iam/users` - Create user
+- `PUT /api/v1/iam/users/{id}` - Update user
+- `DELETE /api/v1/iam/users/{id}` - Delete user
+
+## Database Migrations
+
+Migrations are automatically run on startup. They are located in:
+- `internal/common/database/migrations/`
+
+## Project Structure

+
+## Development
+
+### Running Tests
+```bash
+go test ./...
+```
+
+### Code Formatting
+```bash
+go fmt ./...
+```
+
+### Building for Production
+```bash
+CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux go build -a -installsuffix cgo -o bin/calypso-api ./cmd/calypso-api
+```
+
+## Systemd Service
+
+To install as a systemd service:
+
+```bash
+sudo cp deploy/systemd/calypso-api.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable calypso-api
+sudo systemctl start calypso-api
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- The JWT secret must be a strong random string (minimum 32 characters)
+- Database passwords should be set via environment variables, not config files
+- The service runs as non-root user `calypso`
+- All mutating operations are audited
