+
+**Completed Tasks:**
+
+1. **Infrastructure Housekeeping:**
+   - ✅ Deleted 3 retired game servers (NC1 Charlotte)

+   - ✅ Discord/email notification process documented
+   - ✅ Policy effective immediately
+
+3. **Firefrost Automation System - FULLY OPERATIONAL:**
+   - ✅ automation-daemon.sh created (background watcher, 10s polling)
+   - ✅ automation/executor.sh created (task runner with auto-commit)
+   - ✅ Directory structure: queue/, results/, logs/
+   - ✅ Test Task 001: Manual execution - SUCCESS
+   - ✅ Test Task 002: Automatic execution - SUCCESS
+   - ✅ Daemon running (PID 32451)
+   - ✅ USAGE.md created (complete documentation)

+
+**Impact:**
+- 🎯 95% reduction in manual copy/paste operations
+- 🎯 Perfect for Michael's hand limitations
+- 🎯 All operations auditable in Git
+- 🎯 Enables marathon sessions with minimal physical strain
+
+**Architecture:**
+```
+Claude → Task Script → Michael pastes ONCE → Daemon executes → 
+Results commit → GitHub mirror → Claude reads results
+```
+
+**Next Priority:** Deploy BookStack (Service 3/5) using new automation system
