+**Resolution:** Feb 9, 2026 1:20 PM CST
+
+**Root Cause:** Claude's security model requires URLs to be "provided by the user" - meaning the user must paste the URL in chat before Claude can fetch it with web_fetch.
+
+**Solution:** User-provided URL workflow
+1. User accesses raw GitHub URL in browser
+2. User confirms file loads (validates public access)
+3. User pastes URL into chat for Claude
+4. Claude can now fetch that specific URL with web_fetch
+
+**Test Results:**
+- Repository visibility: PUBLIC ✅
+- Raw URL accessible: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Frostystyle/firefrost-operations-manual/master/docs/provider-communications.md ✅
+- Web_fetch successful after user provided URL ✅
+
+**Workflow Going Forward:**
+When Claude needs to read a Git document:
+1. Michael provides the raw GitHub URL in chat
+2. Claude uses web_fetch to retrieve content
+3. No SSH/bash commands needed
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Saves Michael's hands (no manual bash commands)
+- Fast access to documentation
+- Works with automation system
