How does an open storyboard tool number boards and shots (1A, 1B...), and how does it derive a shot list with camera setups from boards?
Storyboarder (master 8b81a25c, package 3.0.0) generates shot labels as shot number plus sub-shot letter, restarting at newShot boards (first board always opens a shot), or '<n>A' per board when no flags are set; its shot-list model groups cameras into setups when roll/rotation/tilt differ by less than 60 degrees and x/y/z by less than 6 scene units. Correction to the candidate: the setup numbers produced by getCameraSetups are assigned from a counter reset for every board, so different setups on different boards can share number 1 (code inference, unexecuted); the grouping is real but the numbering is not a stable setup index.

Curator qualifications: No LICENSE/COPYING/EULA file at the repository root tree at either commit (gh api -X GET git/trees); producer reports an installer EULA granting a limited revocable licence and a README link to an open-source note. Reuse of code and fixtures unclear. Code read at pinned commits, not executed; label and setup behaviour derived by reading and by re-evaluating the JS arithmetic in Python (not running the source). S13 slug notes and S20 floor-plan proposal not re-read; S20 is unshipped.
Limitations: Code read at pinned commits, not executed; label and setup behaviour derived by reading and by re-evaluating the JS arithmetic in Python (not running the source).
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
