+
+### Repository Reorganization
+
+**Transferred Repository Ownership:**
+- **From:** `mkrause612/firefrost-phase0-configs`
+- **To:** `firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual`
+- **Organization Created:** `firefrost-gaming` (brand-aligned structure)
+- **Reason:** Repository now contains comprehensive operations documentation beyond Phase 0 scope
+
+**Repository Renamed:**
+- **Old Name:** `firefrost-phase0-configs` (narrow, phase-specific)
+- **New Name:** `firefrost-operations-manual` (descriptive, scalable)
+- **Reason:** Repository is the authoritative operational manual for entire Firefrost infrastructure
+
+**Local Git Remote Updated:**
+- All contributors must update remote URL:
+```bash
+  git remote set-url origin https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual.git
+```
+
+---
+
+### Added - Core Documentation (2,537 lines)
+
+**Subscription & Community Structure:**
+- `docs/subscription-tiers-final.md` - Complete tier structure ($1-$499) with Fire/Frost dual-path system
+- `docs/discord-structure-complete.md` - Full channel/role architecture (15 server-synced channels, competitive Fire vs Frost model)
+- `docs/path-philosophy.md` - Fire vs Frost marketing content for Ghost CMS (magic mods vs tech mods identity)
+- `docs/awakened-gateway.md` - $1 "Handshake" security protocol documentation and rationale
+
+**Technical Infrastructure:**
+- `docs/luckperms-structure.md` - Permission hierarchy for 13+ server network with MySQL backend strategy
+
+**Design & Brand:**
+- All documents aligned with Design Bible v1.1 color specifications
+- Fire Path: `#FF3D00` (Deep Orange/Red)
+- Frost Path: `#00E5FF` (Electric Cyan)  
+- Founder: `#FFD600` (Amber Gold)
+
+---
+
+### Established - Core Systems
+
+**Fire + Frost Competitive Model:**
+- Dual-path subscription system (Gingerfury vs Frostystyle recruitment competition)
+- Path-exclusive Discord channels and community spaces
+- Identical mechanical perks, different social/identity experience
+- Founder tier (Sovereign $499 lifetime) accesses BOTH paths
+
+**Subscription Tier Progression:**
+1. **Wanderer** (Free) - Discord browsing only, no server access
+2. **The Awakened** ($1 one-time) - Whitelist on all servers, 1 home, 0 chunks
+3. **Elemental** ($5/month) - Choose Fire OR Frost, 5 homes, 25 chunks, /rtp 60min
+4. **Knight** ($10/month) - 10 homes, 49 chunks, 4 force-load, /rtp 30min
+5. **Master** ($15/month) - 20 homes, 100 chunks, 9 force-load, /rtp 15min
+6. **Legend** ($20/month) - 35 homes, 121 chunks, 16 force-load, /rtp 10min
+7. **Sovereign** ($499 lifetime) - 50 homes, 225 chunks, 81 force-load, unlimited /rtp, BOTH paths
+
+**Multi-Game Vision:**
+- Primary: Minecraft (13+ servers across NC1 Charlotte, TX1 Dallas)
+- Secondary: Hytale (1 server, awaiting game release)
+- Secondary: FoundryVTT (separate GM addon system, 14-day grace / 30-day download lifecycle)
+- Future: Additional community-requested games
+
+**Security Protocol:**
+- $1 "Handshake" gateway: bot/troll deterrent, financial accountability, psychological investment
+- **NOT** age verification (separate legal-compliant system required for 18+ content)
+- Permanent bans tied to payment identity (Stripe customer ID)
