docs: Task #26 architecture pivot — dashboard badge required
Session summary: - Phases 1-4 infrastructure complete and working - Manual check button works (Modrinth tested successfully) - CRITICAL: Built wrong UI location (console vs dashboard) - Gemini consultation confirmed correct approach - Dashboard badge injection via ServerRow.tsx - Background cron job required (no live API calls on page load) - Next session: implement dumb badge + cron + status endpoint The infrastructure isn't wasted — becomes Standard tier feature. Dashboard badge is the actual deliverable for at-a-glance monitoring. Signed-off-by: Claude (Chronicler #62) <claude@firefrostgaming.com>

### Task #26 ModpackChecker — PHASE 3 COMPLETE 🏆
|
||||
### Task #26 ModpackChecker — Phases 1-4 Infrastructure Complete
|
||||
|
||||
Full end-to-end pipeline working on Dev Panel:
|
||||
**Working on Dev Panel (64.50.188.128):**
|
||||
- ✅ Admin settings panel (CurseForge API key storage)
|
||||
- ✅ React component renders on server console
|
||||
- ✅ API route calls Modrinth/CurseForge/FTB/Technic
|
||||
- ✅ Returns real data (tested: "Adrenaserver 1.7.0+1.21.1.fabric")
|
||||
- ✅ Manual "Check for Updates" button works
|
||||
|
||||
| Component | Status |
|
||||
|-----------|--------|
|
||||
| Admin UI | ✅ Working |
|
||||
| Client React Component | ✅ Renders on server console |
|
||||
| API Route | ✅ Registered and resolving |
|
||||
| Controller | ✅ Executing logic |
|
||||
| Response Pipeline | ✅ Returns proper JSON |
|
||||
|
||||
**Key fixes made this session:**
|
||||
1. `wrapper` field in conf.yml is for Blade only, not TSX
|
||||
2. TSX components require `build.sh` + `sed` injection + `yarn build:production`
|
||||
3. Controller namespace must use capital C: `Controllers` not `controllers`
|
||||
4. PHP-FPM OPCache requires restart after adding new classes
|
||||
5. Fixed `getEggVariable()` to use Pterodactyl's actual model structure
|
||||
|
||||
**Committed to repo:** `firefrost-services` commit `1eda889`
|
||||
|
||||
### Dev Panel Info
|
||||
- **URL:** http://64.50.188.128
|
||||
- **Admin:** frostystyle / FFG-Dev-2026!
|
||||
- **Test Server UUID:** c0a133db-6cb7-497d-a2ed-22ae66eb0de8
|
||||
- **Blueprint:** beta-2026-01
|
||||
**Key technical wins:**
|
||||
- Blueprint `build.sh` + `sed` injection pattern mastered
|
||||
- Controller namespace case-sensitivity (Controllers not controllers)
|
||||
- PHP-FPM OPCache restart requirement documented
|
||||
- Pterodactyl model structure for egg variables understood

## 📋 IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS
|
||||
## ⚠️ CRITICAL ARCHITECTURE PIVOT
|
||||
|
||||
### Task #26 Phase 4: Real Modpack Testing
|
||||
1. Configure CurseForge API key in admin settings
|
||||
2. Install a real modpack on test server (or set egg variables)
|
||||
3. Test actual API call to CurseForge/Modrinth
|
||||
4. Verify version data returns correctly
|
||||
**We built the wrong thing.**
|
||||
|
||||
### Task #26 Phase 5: Polish & Features
|
||||
- Discord webhook notifications
|
||||
- Cron scheduler for automatic checks
|
||||
- Global dashboard (Professional tier)
|
||||
- BuiltByBit listings
|
||||
Michael's actual requirement (confirmed this session):
|
||||
> "When I log into the main page and see the overview, I want to know RIGHT THERE if any pack needs an update."
|
||||
|
||||
**What we built:** Button inside each server's console page (defeats the purpose)
|
||||
|
||||
**What we need:** Badge/indicator on the SERVER LIST dashboard view
|
||||
|
||||
### Gemini's Guidance (April 5, 2026)
|
||||
|
||||
**YES, Blueprint can inject into the server list.** Same `sed` trick, different target:
|
||||
|
||||
| Current | Target |
|
||||
|---------|--------|
|
||||
| `ServerConsoleContainer.tsx` | `ServerRow.tsx` |
|
||||
| Inside server view | Dashboard server list |
|
||||
|
||||
**CRITICAL WARNING — The "Dumb Badge" Rule:**
|
||||
|
||||
The dashboard badge must NEVER call external APIs directly. If it did:
|
||||
- 11 servers = 11 simultaneous API calls on every page load
|
||||
- Rate limits hit instantly
|
||||
- APIs block your IP
|
||||
- Dashboard lags out
|
||||
|
||||
**Correct Architecture:**
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
CRON JOB (background)
|
||||
│ Checks APIs one by one with delays
|
||||
│ Stores results in database
|
||||
▼
|
||||
DATABASE (modpackchecker_servers table)
|
||||
│ Cached: server_id, current_version, latest_version,
|
||||
│ update_available (boolean), last_checked
|
||||
▼
|
||||
/api/client/ext/modpackchecker/status
|
||||
│ One fast database query
|
||||
│ Returns: {server_uuid: {update_available: true/false}}
|
||||
▼
|
||||
UpdateBadge.tsx (injected into ServerRow.tsx)
|
||||
│ Reads from local endpoint only
|
||||
│ Shows 🟢 (up to date) or 🟠 (update available)
|
||||
▼
|
||||
DASHBOARD — Instant visibility without clicking into servers
|
||||
```

## 🚧 BLOCKERS
|
||||
## 📋 NEXT SESSION: Complete the Feature
|
||||
|
||||
| Task | Blocker | Impact |
|
||||
|------|---------|--------|
|
||||
| #87 | Arbiter lifecycle handlers not built | Low - not launch blocker |
|
||||
### Phase 5A: Background Cron Job
|
||||
1. Create Laravel console command for version checking
|
||||
2. Register in `app/Console/Kernel.php`
|
||||
3. Add rate limiting (sleep between API calls)
|
||||
4. Store results in `modpackchecker_servers` table
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5B: Status Endpoint
|
||||
1. Create `/api/client/ext/modpackchecker/status` route
|
||||
2. Returns cached update status for all user's servers
|
||||
3. Single fast database query
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5C: Dashboard Badge
|
||||
1. Create `UpdateBadge.tsx` component
|
||||
2. Update `build.sh` to inject into `ServerRow.tsx`
|
||||
3. Badge calls status endpoint ONCE on dashboard load
|
||||
4. Display 🟢/🟠 indicator per server
|
||||
|
||||
### Phase 5D: Current Version Detection
|
||||
1. Read from manifest.json / modrinth.index.json
|
||||
2. Or: MODPACK_CURRENT_VERSION egg variable
|
||||
3. Compare against API's latest version
