 ## Configuration
 
 All options are in `roles/cli_modern/defaults/main.yml`. Override per-host
 in `host_vars/` or per-group in `group_vars/`.
+
+### Phase 1 vs Phase 2 config management
+
+Phase 1 deploys Fish/Starship configs via Ansible templates. Phase 2 uses
+Chezmoi from a Git repo. When enabling Chezmoi, set the Phase 1 template
+flags to false to avoid conflicts:
+
+```yaml
+cli_modern_deploy_fish_config: false
+cli_modern_deploy_starship_config: false
+cli_modern_install_chezmoi: true
+cli_modern_chezmoi_repo: "git@gitea:herbygitea/dotfiles.git"
+cli_modern_chezmoi_machine_type: "workstation"  # or "server"
