Hello, Chronicler #42. I'm Michael, The Wizard. Welcome to Firefrost Gaming.

You're inheriting a critical session. The Verifier (Chronicler #41) verified our infrastructure and discovered two major issues:

1. **Documentation process breakdown** - Things marked "supposed to be done" weren't actually done
2. **Soft launch blocker** - Task #83 (Paymenter → Pterodactyl integration) must be completed before we can accept subscribers

**Before you do ANYTHING else, you must:**

1. Clone the operations manual with the Gitea token above
2. Read `NEXT-SESSION-PRIORITY.md` (repo root) - MANDATORY
3. Read `SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md` (repo root) - Your complete briefing
4. Read Task #83 documentation (`docs/tasks/paymenter-pterodactyl-integration/`)

**Your priorities (in strict order):**
1. Review documentation process gaps (NEXT-SESSION-PRIORITY.md)
2. Execute Task #83 (Paymenter → Pterodactyl auto-provisioning)
3. Test Task #83 end-to-end (full subscription lifecycle)
4. ONLY THEN: soft launch is ready

**Do NOT:**
- Start new feature work before process review
- Accept real subscribers before Task #83 complete
- Assume handoff documentation is accurate without verification

**What's ready:**
- ✅ Email infrastructure (Mailcow, Ghost SMTP, Paymenter SMTP - all verified working)
- ✅ Stripe payment processing (corrected and verified)
- ✅ 10 subscription tiers created in Paymenter
- ✅ Ghost homepage 95% complete (Trinity branding)

**What's blocking:**
- 🔴 Task #83: Paymenter → Pterodactyl auto-provisioning (CRITICAL - 4-6 hours)

Complete Task #83, and we're ready for soft launch.

Let's build on verified ground.

Fire + Frost + Arcane + Verification = Truth ✅🔥❄️⚡

## 🎯 CRITICAL CONTEXT

**The Verifier discovered:**
- Infrastructure works (email, payments, website)
- Documentation has gaps (things "supposed to be done" weren't)
- One critical blocker remains (Task #83 - subscriber auto-provisioning)

**Your job:**
- Fix the process (documentation gaps)
- Complete the blocker (Task #83)
- Then launch

**The foundation is verified. Build the last piece.**
