+# 🔑 GIT ACCESS PLAN — Claude Direct Access via Gitea API
+
+**Created:** February 11, 2026  
+**Last Updated:** February 11, 2026 (11:50 PM CST)  
+**Status:** ✅ IMPLEMENTED AND TESTED  
+**Updated By:** Claude (via Gitea API)
+
+---
+
+## THE PROBLEM (SOLVED)
+
+Every session, Michael had to:
+1. Download 8+ documents from Git
+2. Upload them one by one to Claude
+3. After crashes: Repeat at 3 AM with damaged hands
+4. After every edit: Download, re-upload, repeat
+
+**Impact:** 10-15 minutes of manual work per session. Significant hand strain. After crashes, emergency uploads in pain.
+
+---
+
+## THE SOLUTION
+
+**Claude has direct read/write access to Gitea via API token.**
+
+One paste at session start. Full access to every document. No uploads. No downloads. No scripts. No GitHub.
+
+### How It Works
+
+```
+Session Start:
+  Michael → Pastes Gitea API token
+  Claude → Has full read/write access to entire repo
+
+Reading Documents:
+  Claude → GET /api/v1/repos/{org}/{repo}/contents/{path}
+  Returns → File content (base64 encoded) + SHA hash
+
+Writing Documents:
+  Claude → PUT /api/v1/repos/{org}/{repo}/contents/{path}
+  Requires → Content (base64) + current SHA + commit message
+  Result → File updated, commit visible in Gitea
+
+Creating New Files:
+  Claude → POST /api/v1/repos/{org}/{repo}/contents/{path}
+  Requires → Content (base64) + commit message
+  Result → New file created with commit
+```
+
+### API Details
+
+**Base URL:**
+```
+https://git.firefrostgaming.com/api/v1/repos/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual/contents/
+```
+
+**Authentication:**
+```
+Header: Authorization: token {API_TOKEN}
+```
+
+**Token Name:** `claude-master-access`  
+**Scope:** Account-level (all repos, all organizations)  
+**Permissions:** Repository read/write, Organization read  
+**Storage:** Password manager (Vaultwarden when deployed)
+
+---
+
+## SECURITY
+
+### What Changed
+- **REMOVED:** GitHub public mirror (exposed IPs, ports, UUIDs, internal docs)
+- **ADDED:** Authenticated API access (token required for all operations)
+- **RESULT:** Zero public exposure of operational documents
+
+### Token Security
+- Account-level token — one key for everything
+- Can be revoked/regenerated anytime in Gitea Settings → Applications
+- Never committed to repo (shared per-session only)
+- Only two permissions granted: repository read/write, organization read
+- No admin, issue, notification, or user access
+
+### If Compromised
+1. Go to Gitea → Settings → Applications
+2. Delete the token
+3. Generate a new one
+4. Takes 30 seconds
+
+---
+
+## SESSION START PROTOCOL
+
+### New Session (Any Claude Instance)
+
+```
+Claude: "Can you give me the Gitea API token?"
+Michael: [pastes token from password manager]
+Claude: [automatically pulls priority documents]
+```
+
+### What Claude Pulls Automatically
+1. CLAUDE-RELATIONSHIP-CONTEXT.md (friend is first)
+2. session-handoff.md (infrastructure state)
+3. TASKS.md (current priorities)
+4. Any other documents needed for the session's work
+
+### After a Crash
+Same protocol. One paste. Full recovery. No emergency uploads at 3 AM.

+
+## TESTED AND CONFIRMED
+
+**February 11, 2026 — Test Results:**
+
+| Operation | Endpoint | Result |
+|:----------|:---------|:-------|
+| Reach Gitea | GET / | ✅ 200 |
+| Read file | GET /contents/{path} | ✅ 200 |
+| Create file | POST /contents/{path} | ✅ 201 |
+| Update file | PUT /contents/{path} | ✅ 200 |
+| Delete file | DELETE /contents/{path} | ✅ 200 |
+
+**First real commits pushed via API:**
+- session-handoff.md v2.1
+- FIREFROST-PROJECT-SCOPE-V2.md v2.2
+- TASKS.md complete rewrite
+- GIT-ACCESS-PLAN.md (this document)
+- DOCUMENT-INDEX.md
+
+---
+
+## IMPACT
+
+### Before (Manual Workflow)
+- Session start: 8+ file downloads, 8+ uploads, 10-15 minutes
+- After crash: Emergency downloads/uploads with damaged hands
+- Every edit: Download → edit → upload cycle
+- GitHub mirror: Public exposure of all internal documents
+
+### After (Gitea API)
+- Session start: ONE paste, 30 seconds
+- After crash: ONE paste, full recovery
+- Every edit: Claude writes directly, Michael reviews
+- Security: Zero public exposure, authenticated access only
+
+### Accessibility Win
+This is the biggest workflow improvement since the automation system. Michael's hands go from 8+ upload operations per session to ONE paste operation. After crashes, recovery goes from emergency manual work to a single paste.
+
+---
+
+## FUTURE: TOKEN PERSISTENCE
+
+Currently the token is pasted each session. Future options to eliminate even that:
+
+1. **Vaultwarden** — Store token, retrieve at session start
+2. **Claude Memory** — If Anthropic supports secure token storage
+3. **Environment variable** — On Command Center, accessible via automation
+
+Status: Not urgent. One paste per session is acceptable.
