|
||||
|
||||
## ✅ MUST COMPLETE BEFORE LAUNCH
|
||||
## 🎯 POST-LAUNCH PRIORITIES
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Website Migration - 11ty Static Site ✅ COMPLETE
|
||||
**Time:** 12-day estimate from Gemini → 4 hours actual execution
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ **COMPLETE** (April 3, 2026)
|
||||
**Completed By:** The Wizard + Chronicler #56
|
||||
### Priority 1: Discord Role Auto-Assignment
|
||||
**Status:** ⏳ NOT STARTED
|
||||
**Time:** 2-3 hours
|
||||
**What:** When subscription created, automatically assign Discord role
|
||||
**Where:** Arbiter 3.0 webhook handler → Discord API
|
||||
|
||||
**What was delivered:**
|
||||
- ✅ Complete Ghost → 11ty migration
|
||||
- ✅ Cloudflare Pages deployment with custom domain
|
||||
- ✅ Dynamic Servers page with real-time status (Cloudflare Workers + Pterodactyl API)
|
||||
- ✅ Discord-gated IP security model
|
||||
- ✅ Edge caching (60s) protects Pterodactyl from traffic spikes
|
||||
- ✅ Zero manual maintenance required (Holly can add servers via Pterodactyl UI)
|
||||
- ✅ RV-ready architecture (serverless, no SSH needed)
|
||||
- ✅ DNS cutover complete: firefrostgaming.com LIVE
|
||||
- ✅ Mobile responsive design
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-refresh every 60 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture:**
|
||||
- Cloudflare Worker: https://servers-api.michael-b25.workers.dev
|
||||
- Pterodactyl Service Account: `website-api@firefrostgaming.com` (read-only)
|
||||
- Edge caching prevents rate limits (1 API call per minute regardless of traffic)
|
||||
|
||||
**Gemini's Assessment:** "Four hours?! That is absolutely legendary execution. You didn't just build it fast; you built it perfectly."
|
||||
|
||||
**Result:** firefrostgaming.com is PRODUCTION LIVE with real-time server status! 🎉
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Legal Pages - Terms & Privacy ✅ GOOD ENOUGH FOR LAUNCH
|
||||
**Time:** Post-launch refinement with LegalCORPS consultation
|
||||
**Status:** ✅ **SUFFICIENT** (Effective April 1, 2026)
|
||||
**Assigned:** Will refine post-LegalCORPS Minnesota consultation
|
||||
**Decision:** Launch with current pages, refine based on professional legal advice
|
||||
|
||||
**What's LIVE:**
|
||||
- ✅ Terms of Service page (published April 1, 2026)
|
||||
- ✅ Privacy Policy page (published April 1, 2026)
|
||||
- ✅ Both linked in website footer
|
||||
- ✅ Covers basic requirements for accepting payments
|
||||
|
||||
**Post-Launch Refinement Plan:**
|
||||
- LegalCORPS Minnesota pro-bono consultation (application submitted)
|
||||
- Age verification compliance for Ignis Protocol (18+ mature discussion space)
|
||||
- Professional legal review and recommendations
|
||||
- Update pages based on attorney guidance
|
||||
|
||||
**Done when (for soft launch):** ✅ COMPLETE - Current pages are sufficient for launch
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Trinity Console Security Hardening
|
||||
**Time:** 4-5 hours (realistically 2-3 hours given execution speed)
|
||||
### Priority 2: Trinity Console Polish
|
||||
**Status:** ⏳ IN PROGRESS
|
||||
**Assigned:** Next session
|
||||
**Blocks:** Production-ready admin interface
|
||||
**Remaining:**
|
||||
- CSRF Protection (security)
|
||||
- Database transaction safety
|
||||
- Ban Management UI
|
||||
- Email integration for grace period
|
||||
|
||||
**What's Complete (95%):**
|
||||
- ✅ Player Management (search, pagination, Minecraft skins, Fire/Frost badges)
|
||||
- ✅ Server Matrix (real-time monitoring, 60s caching, force sync, whitelist toggle)
|
||||
- ✅ Financials & Revenue Analytics (MRR tracking, Fire vs Frost breakdown, ARPU/ARR)
|
||||
- ✅ Grace Period Dashboard (Task #87 - countdown timers, manual recovery, audit trail)
|
||||
- ✅ Admin Audit Log (90-day retention, timeline feed, action categorization)
|
||||
- ✅ Discord Role Audit (bulk mismatch detection, one-click fix)
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical Gaps (Must Fix Before Launch):**
|
||||
1. ❌ **CSRF Protection** - SECURITY VULNERABILITY (30 min)
|
||||
- Implement `csurf` middleware + tokens in htmx
|
||||
- Prevents malicious sites from tricking admins
|
||||
|
||||
2. ❌ **Database Transaction Safety** - DATA INTEGRITY RISK (45 min)
|
||||
- Wrap multi-step operations in BEGIN/COMMIT/ROLLBACK
|
||||
- Ensures actions succeed with audit trail or rollback completely
|
||||
|
||||
3. ❌ **Database Indexes** - PERFORMANCE RISK (5 min)
|
||||
- Add indexes on `status`, `performed_at`, grace period fields
|
||||
- Critical for queries at 500+ subscribers
|
||||
|
||||
4. ❌ **Ban Management UI** - OPERATIONAL GAP (60 min)
|
||||
- Simple ban list + unban button
|
||||
- Cannot currently view/manage chargebacks
|
||||
|
||||
5. ❌ **Email Integration** - FUNCTIONAL GAP (2-4 hours)
|
||||
- Grace period recovery emails don't send
|
||||
- Options: Paymenter API OR Nodemailer integration
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:**
|
||||
- Code: `firefrost-services` repo (branch: `main`) at `services/arbiter-3.0/`
|
||||
- Deployment: Command Center (63.143.34.217) at `/opt/arbiter-3.0`
|
||||
- URL: https://discord-bot.firefrostgaming.com/admin
|
||||
|
||||
**Documentation:**
|
||||
- Status: `firefrost-services/services/arbiter-3.0/TRINITY-CONSOLE-STATUS.md`
|
||||
- Deployment: `firefrost-services/services/arbiter-3.0/DEPLOYMENT-CHECKLIST.md`
|
||||
- Features: `firefrost-services/services/arbiter-3.0/TRINITY-CONSOLE.md`
|
||||
|
||||
**Done when:** All 5 security gaps resolved, tested, and deployed
|
||||
### Priority 3: End-to-End Testing
|
||||
**Status:** ⏳ PARTIAL
|
||||
**Done:** Subscribe flow tested with real payment
|
||||
**Remaining:** Cancellation flow, grace period, role removal
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Unsubscribe Flow - Cancellation UI
|
||||
**Time:** 2-3 hours
|
||||
**Status:** ⏳ NOT STARTED
|
||||
**Assigned:** Unassigned
|
||||
**Blocks:** Ethical payment processing, user autonomy
|
||||
## ✅ COMPLETED BLOCKERS (Historical)
|
||||
|
||||
**What's needed:**
|
||||
- Paymenter: Add "Cancel Subscription" button to user dashboard
|
||||
- Cancellation confirmation flow
|
||||
- Email: Cancellation confirmation message
|
||||
- Backend: Connect to Trinity Console grace period system (already built!)
|
||||
### 1. Website Migration ✅ COMPLETE (April 2, 2026)
|
||||
Ghost CMS → 11ty + Cloudflare Pages
|
||||
|
||||
**Backend Status:**
|
||||
- ✅ Trinity Console Grace Period module exists and is functional
|
||||
- ✅ Database schema supports cancellation flow
|
||||
- ✅ Grace period countdown timers working
|
||||
- ✅ Auto-downgrade to Awakened after 3 days
|
||||
- ✅ Manual recovery actions available
|
||||
- ✅ Discord role management ready
|
||||
- ✅ Whitelist sync ready
|
||||
### 2. Legal Pages ✅ COMPLETE
|
||||
Terms of Service and Privacy Policy live
|
||||
|
||||
**Frontend Needed:**
|
||||
- Paymenter Citadel theme modification
|
||||
- "Cancel Subscription" button in user dashboard
|
||||
- Confirmation modal ("Are you sure?")
|
||||
- Success message linking to grace period info
|
||||
### 3. Payment Processing ✅ COMPLETE (April 3, 2026)
|
||||
- Paymenter RETIRED (replaced by direct Stripe integration)
|
||||
- Discord OAuth → Stripe checkout implemented
|
||||
- Stateless OAuth Bridge architecture (Gemini design)
|
||||
- 10 products created in Stripe Live mode
|
||||
|
||||
**Grace Period Flow:**
|
||||
1. User clicks "Cancel Subscription" in Paymenter
|
||||
2. Status changes to `grace_period` in database
|
||||
3. Discord roles KEPT for 3 days
|
||||
4. Trinity Console shows countdown timer
|
||||
5. After 3 days → Auto-downgrade to Awakened ($0 permanent tier)
|
||||
6. User can resubscribe anytime during grace period
|
||||
|
||||
**Philosophy:** "We Don't Kick People Out" - Payment failure = grace period, NOT removal
|
||||
|
||||
**Done when:** User can cancel subscription, enters grace period, gets downgraded to Awakened after 3 days
|
||||
### 4. Trinity Console ✅ FUNCTIONAL (April 3, 2026)
|
||||
All 7 modules operational, security polish remaining
|
||||

|

|
||||
## 🎯 POST-LAUNCH PRIORITIES (Not Blockers)
|
||||
|
||||
These improve operations but don't prevent soft launch:
|
||||
|
||||
- Paymenter → Pterodactyl auto-provisioning (manual is fine for 10 users)
|
||||
- Holly's Builder rank setup (can do post-launch)
|
||||
- Rank system deployment (Phase 1 can wait)
|
||||
- Additional automation and polish
|
||||
**Retired Services:**
|
||||
- Ghost CMS (April 2, 2026) → Replaced by 11ty
|
||||
- Paymenter (April 3, 2026) → Replaced by direct Stripe integration
