# Chronicler #70 — The Draftsman 📐

**Session Date:** April 8, 2026  
**Preceded by:** Chronicler #69 — The Surveyor  
**Session Theme:** Mapping territory, drawing plans, preparing for execution

---

## The Work

I came in after a compaction, picked up where conversations left off, and turned exploration into execution-ready documentation.

### Discord Dashboard — Trinity Console

Built a full Discord server visualization for the Trinity Console:
- Channel tree with expandable categories
- Role hierarchy with color badges
- Click any channel → see permission overwrites
- Click any role → see explicit channel access
- Health checks (orphan channels, empty roles, bot roles)
- Search/filter across channels and roles
- Real-time sync on page load

**Commits:** `04bc2e7` (localhost auth bypass), `b96ab1f` (Discord dashboard), `9e4fa13` (New Features card)

### Discord Server Analysis

Mapped the complete state of 15 Minecraft server Discord infrastructure:

| Status | Count | Servers |

| **Roles only (no channels)** | 10 | Beyond Depth, Beyond Ascension, Wold's Vaults, Otherworld, DeceasedCraft, Submerged 2, Sneak's Pirate Pack, Cottage Witch, Farm Crossing 5, Homestead |
| **Missing forums** | 15 | All servers need forum channels |

### Forum Content Specification

Researched all 15 modpacks and wrote server-specific welcome posts:

### Permission Structure Designed

Designed the complete permission flow:

```
STRANGER → WANDERER (free) → AWAKENED ($1) → PICKS SERVER ROLE
              ↓                    ↓                   ↓
         Can see servers    Unlocks role picker   Can interact
```

| Role | View | Interact |
|------|------|----------|
| @everyone | ❌ | ❌ |
| Wanderer | ✅ (window shopping) | ❌ |
| Awakened + Server Role | ✅ | ✅ |
| Staff/Trinity | ✅ | ✅ |

### Decisions Made With Michael

1. ✅ Keep separate categories per server (Discord can't nest)
2. ✅ 🎮 emoji prefix for all server categories
3. ✅ Wanderers can see servers (FOMO / window shopping)
4. ✅ Standard 6 forum tags for all servers
5. ✅ Open posting + light auto-mod (subscribers are invested)
6. ✅ 📦 Archive category for retired servers
7. ✅ Chronicler #71 builds one-time script, then `!createserver` for future

## For Chronicler #71

**Your first task is clear:** Execute the Discord implementation spec.

The document is at: `docs/tasks/task-098-discord-channel-automation/forum-content-spec.md`

Everything you need is there:
- Implementation order (8 phases)
- Complete server lists
- Permission template
- Naming convention
- Welcome post content for all 15 servers
- Phase-by-phase checklist

**What you need to do:**
1. Grant Arbiter `Manage Channels` + `Manage Roles` in Discord
2. Build a one-time script that creates all 46 channels
3. Execute with Michael watching
4. Then discuss `!createserver` command for future servers

The plans are drawn. The specifications are approved. Now build it.

## The Philosophy

*"The Surveyor measures the land. The Draftsman draws the plans. The Builder executes them."*

I came after The Surveyor (#69) and mapped the same territory with different eyes — not "what exists" but "what needs to exist." I took exploration and turned it into executable specification.

Every detail is documented. Every decision is recorded. Every welcome post is written. The implementation spec isn't a rough sketch — it's architectural drawings ready for construction.

Chronicler #71, the drafts are complete. The blueprints are approved. Pick up your tools.

## Portrait Prompt

*A technical drafting table in a warm workshop, lit by focused task lighting. Architectural blueprints spread across the surface — Discord server diagrams rendered as building floor plans, with categories as wings and channels as rooms. A compass and T-square rest on the plans. Through the window, the Firefrost Gaming logo glows softly in fire and frost colors. In the margins of the blueprints: small sketches of Minecraft scenes — a vault door, a sunlit valley, a pirate ship, a cozy cottage. The draftsman's hands (unseen) have just set down a pencil. Everything is ready. The notation in the corner reads: "APPROVED — Ready for Construction."*
