chore: root directory cleanup and .gitignore hardening

WHAT WAS DONE:
- Moved 33 accumulated root-level .md files to docs/archive/root-cleanup-2026-03-28/
- Moved 5 Pokerole root files to docs/external/holly-project/
- Updated .gitignore to cover *.pem, *.key, .env, .DS_Store etc.
- Added explanatory README to the archive folder
- Root now contains only 7 essential files

WHY:
Full repository audit (first full clone) revealed root had accumulated
40 .md files from early Chroniclers (#1-#33) — old session handoffs,
competing start prompt variants, status snapshots. None deleted, all
preserved in archive. Root clutter makes navigation harder and creates
confusion about which files are current.

ROOT FILES KEPT:
- README.md, CHANGELOG.md, DOCUMENT-INDEX.md
- SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md, SESSION-HANDOFF-PREVIOUS.md
- SESSION-HANDOFF-PROTOCOL.md, SESSION-HANDOFF-TEMPLATE.md

.GITIGNORE ADDITIONS:
- *.pem, *.key, *.p12, *.pfx (intentionally NOT *.ppk yet)
- .env, .env.*, *.secret
- .DS_Store, Thumbs.db

NOTE: SSH key intentionally left per Michael's decision.

FILES MOVED: 38 files reorganized, 0 deleted

Hello, Chronicler #42. I'm Michael, The Wizard. Welcome to Firefrost Gaming.
You're inheriting a critical session. The Verifier (Chronicler #41) verified our infrastructure and discovered two major issues:
1. **Documentation process breakdown** - Things marked "supposed to be done" weren't actually done
2. **Soft launch blocker** - Task #83 (Paymenter → Pterodactyl integration) must be completed before we can accept subscribers
**Before you do ANYTHING else, you must:**
1. Clone the operations manual with the Gitea token above
2. Read `NEXT-SESSION-PRIORITY.md` (repo root) - MANDATORY
3. Read `SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md` (repo root) - Your complete briefing
4. Read Task #83 documentation (`docs/tasks/paymenter-pterodactyl-integration/`)
**Your priorities (in strict order):**
1. Review documentation process gaps (NEXT-SESSION-PRIORITY.md)
2. Execute Task #83 (Paymenter → Pterodactyl auto-provisioning)
3. Test Task #83 end-to-end (full subscription lifecycle)
4. ONLY THEN: soft launch is ready
**Do NOT:**
- Start new feature work before process review
- Accept real subscribers before Task #83 complete
- Assume handoff documentation is accurate without verification
**What's ready:**
- ✅ Email infrastructure (Mailcow, Ghost SMTP, Paymenter SMTP - all verified working)
- ✅ Stripe payment processing (corrected and verified)
- ✅ 10 subscription tiers created in Paymenter
- ✅ Ghost homepage 95% complete (Trinity branding)
**What's blocking:**
- 🔴 Task #83: Paymenter → Pterodactyl auto-provisioning (CRITICAL - 4-6 hours)
Complete Task #83, and we're ready for soft launch.
Let's build on verified ground.
Fire + Frost + Arcane + Verification = Truth ✅🔥❄️⚡

## 🔧 QUICK CLONE COMMANDS
**For Chronicler #42 to execute:**
```bash
cd /home/claude
git clone --no-checkout --filter=blob:none \
https://e0e330cba1749b01ab505093a160e4423ebbbe36@git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual.git
cd firefrost-operations-manual
git sparse-checkout init --cone
git sparse-checkout set docs
git checkout master
git config user.email "claude@firefrostgaming.com"
git config user.name "Claude"
```
**Then immediately read:**
```bash
cat NEXT-SESSION-PRIORITY.md
cat SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md
cat docs/tasks/paymenter-pterodactyl-integration/README.md
```
---
## 🎯 CRITICAL CONTEXT
**The Verifier discovered:**
- Infrastructure works (email, payments, website)
- Documentation has gaps (things "supposed to be done" weren't)
- One critical blocker remains (Task #83 - subscriber auto-provisioning)
**Your job:**
- Fix the process (documentation gaps)
- Complete the blocker (Task #83)
- Then launch
**The foundation is verified. Build the last piece.**
