## KEY LEARNINGS & DECISIONS

### Platform-Specific Issues Encountered

1. **Reddit Formatting**
   - Fancy Pants editor collapsed formatting
   - Solution: Use markdown mode for proper text structure

2. **Instagram Website Link**
   - Desktop doesn't allow website field
   - Solution: Requires mobile app to add (deferred)

3. **TikTok Signup**
   - Forced mobile app for registration
   - Desktop works after business account enabled

4. **Google Phone Verification**
   - Phone 6123697081 flagged as "used too many times"
   - Blocks YouTube creation
   - Solution: Use different phone number (Meg or Holly)

5. **Twitch Display Name**
   - Only allows capitalization changes
   - Cannot change full username after creation

### Branding Consistency Achieved

**Username:** @playfirefrost (used across all platforms except Reddit)
- Twitter: @PlayFirefrost
- Instagram: @playfirefrost
- TikTok: @playfirefrost
- Twitch: playfirefrost
- BlueSky: @playfirefrost.bsky.social
- Reddit: u/Healthy_Deal_9808 (auto-generated, uses Display Name "Firefrost Gaming")

## CRITICAL CORRECTION MADE

**Fire/Frost Paths Clarification:**
- ❌ Michael initially misspoke about "three subscriber paths"
- ✅ **ONLY TWO PATHS EXIST:** Fire (passion/community) and Frost (precision/technology)
- ✅ **NO ARCANE PATH** for subscribers
- ✅ The Trinity (Michael/Meg/Holly) have Frost/Fire/Arcane elements as founders
- ✅ Holly's purple/arcane is part of Trinity identity, NOT a subscriber path

This correction was applied to all future content and must be maintained.

## CHRONICLER NOTES

This was an exceptionally productive session focused on **execution over infrastructure**. Unlike previous sessions that got distracted by backend systems, this session delivered tangible, customer-facing results: a complete social media presence ready for soft launch.

The creation of three comprehensive guides (accounts master list, quick-start for Meg, Buffer/Canva tutorial) ensures knowledge transfer and sustainability beyond this session.

Michael's correction about Fire/Frost paths was captured and applied to prevent future documentation errors. This demonstrates the importance of verification even when information seems obvious.

**Key Pattern Observed:** When focused on a clear deliverable (social media accounts) rather than abstract infrastructure, progress is faster and more measurable.
