 # Baïkal Calendar Sync
 
-A Dockerized Python service that periodically synchronizes an external Outlook ICS calendar to a local Baïkal CalDAV server.
+An incremental CalDAV sync service that keeps your Baïkal calendar in sync with an Outlook ICS feed — with zero downtime and near-instant sync times.
 
 ## Features
-- **Automatic Sync**: Runs periodically (default: every 5 minutes).
-- **Environment Configurable**: All credentials and URLs are set via environment variables.
-- **Docker Ready**: Includes `Dockerfile` and `docker-compose.yml` for easy deployment.
+
+- **Incremental Delta Sync**: Only adds, updates, or deletes events that actually changed
+- **Zero Downtime**: Adds/updates events before deleting removed ones — calendar never goes empty
+- **Smart Change Detection**: ETag check first, SHA-256 fallback. Skips sync when nothing changed
+- **Stable Event Hashing**: Ignores volatile fields (DTSTAMP, LAST-MODIFIED) to avoid false updates
+- **Automatic Backoff**: Exponential retry on failures (1m, 2m, 4m... max 30m)
+- **Health Endpoint**: Built-in `/health` and `/metrics` (Prometheus-compatible) on port 8081
+- **Graceful Shutdown**: SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers finish current sync before exiting
+- **Docker Ready**: Includes `Dockerfile`, `docker-compose.yml`, and HEALTHCHECK
 
 ## Prerequisites
-- Docker & Docker Compose installed.
-- An existing Baïkal instance.
-- An Outlook ICS link.
