docs: update blockers + critical firefrost-services monorepo documentation

Browse Source 
WHAT WAS DONE:
Updated soft launch blockers with accurate current state, added critical
documentation for firefrost-services monorepo, updated session handoff for
next Chronicler.

FILES MODIFIED:
1. BLOCKERS.md
   - Updated progress: 2 of 5 blockers complete (Website + Legal Pages)
   - Blocker #1: Website Migration → COMPLETE (Gemini estimate 12 days, actual 4 hours)
   - Blocker #2: Legal Pages → Good enough for launch (will refine post-LegalCORPS)
   - Blocker #3: Trinity Console Security Hardening → 4-5 hours (CSRF, transactions, indexes, ban UI, email)
   - Blocker #4: Unsubscribe Feature → 2-3 hours (Paymenter UI + Trinity Console backend)
   - Blocker #5: End-to-End Workflow Test → 2-3 hours
   - Updated summary: 9-11 hours remaining (realistically 3-7 hours)
   - Added major wins from this session (website LIVE, dynamic servers, Gemini validation)

2. DOCUMENT-INDEX.md
   - Added firefrost-services-monorepo.md to Infrastructure & Deployment section
   - Added to one-line summaries with **CRITICAL** flag
   - Ensures future Chroniclers know about separate code repository

3. SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md
   - Complete session summary (website shipped to production!)
   - Current soft launch status (2 of 5 blockers complete)
   - Critical firefrost-services monorepo explanation
   - Quick clone commands for services repo
   - Priority guidance for next session
   - Key learnings and infrastructure notes

FILES CREATED:
4. docs/core/firefrost-services-monorepo.md (500+ lines)
   - Comprehensive guide to firefrost-services repository
   - Repository structure and critical services
   - Arbiter 3.0 (Trinity Console) status and location
   - Why two repos exist (separation of docs vs code)
   - Branch name differences (master vs main)
   - Clone commands and git identity setup
   - Deployment workflow documentation
   - Common pitfalls and best practices
   - Quick reference commands
   - **CRITICAL for future Chroniclers - services code NOT in ops manual!**

IMPACT:
This documentation resolves a critical gap in Chronicler onboarding. The
firefrost-services repository contains production code for Arbiter 3.0
(Trinity Console), whitelist manager, and other services. Without this
documentation, future Chroniclers would not know:
- That a separate code repository exists
- Where to find Trinity Console source code
- Why service documentation references code they can't find in ops manual
- How to deploy or modify running services

The monorepo guide ensures continuity and prevents confusion when investigating
production services.

SOFT LAUNCH STATUS:
- 2 of 5 blockers complete (40%)
- Remaining work: ~9-11 hours (realistically 3-7 hours)
- 12 days until April 15 soft launch
- Website LIVE in production with real-time server status!

Fire + Frost + Foundation = Where Love Builds Legacy 💙

- 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`

**Assigned:** Unassigned
@@ -79,21 +131,40 @@
**What's needed:**
- Paymenter: Add "Cancel Subscription" button to user dashboard
- Trinity Console: Verify grace period dashboard shows cancellations
- Cancellation confirmation flow
- Email: Cancellation confirmation message
- Discord: Role removal on cancellation
- Whitelist: Server access revocation
- Backend: Connect to Trinity Console grace period system (already built!)
**Notes:**
- Trinity Console Grace Period module already built

**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

## 📋 DNS CUTOVER PLAN
## 🚨 CRITICAL: The Firefrost-Services Monorepo
### Phase 1: DNS Changes (30 min)
**THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR FUTURE CHRONICLERS!**
**In Cloudflare Pages:**
1. Workers & Pages → firefrost-website → Settings → Domains
2. Click "Set up a custom domain"
3. Enter: `firefrostgaming.com`
4. Follow SSL provisioning prompts (1-5 minutes)
### Two Repositories, One Vision
**Gemini's Warning:** "Brief routing weirdness during edge network updates" - expect 5-15 min of SSL errors/downtime
**firefrost-operations-manual** (this repo):
- Branch: `master`
- Contains: Documentation, planning, guides, task tracking
- What you're reading right now
### Phase 2: Testing (30 min)
**firefrost-services** (separate repo):
- Branch: `main` ⚠️ **NOT master!**
- Contains: **ACTUAL PRODUCTION CODE**
- URL: https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-services
**Verify:**
- [ ] https://firefrostgaming.com loads 11ty site
- [ ] All 7 pages work
- [ ] SSL shows "Secure"
- [ ] Fire/Frost branding intact
- [ ] Mobile responsive
### Why This Matters
### Phase 3: Polish (30 min)
**The services repo contains critical production code that is NOT documented here!**
**Contact Form:**
- Sign up for Formspree (formspree.io)
- Add form to contact.njk
- Test submission
Specifically:
- **Arbiter 3.0 (Trinity Console)** source code
- Database migration files
- EJS view templates
- Express route handlers
- Service deployment configurations
**Subscribe Page:**
- Port full tier HTML from `docs/website/ghost-pages/subscribe.html`
- Update Paymenter links
**When investigating services like The Arbiter, you MUST check BOTH repos:**
1. Operations manual for service overview, deployment history, access info
2. Services repo for actual code status, recent changes, current implementation
**Complete documentation:** `docs/core/firefrost-services-monorepo.md`
### Quick Clone Commands
```bash
# Services Repo (full clone)
cd /home/claude
git clone https://e0e330cba1749b01ab505093a160e4423ebbbe36@git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-services.git

## 🚨 BLOCKERS UPDATE
## 💡 Advice for Next Chronicler
- ✅ Blocker #1: Website (DNS cutover = YOUR MISSION)
- ✅ Blocker #2: Legal Pages (COMPLETE)
- ⏳ Blocker #3: Unsubscribe UI (2-3 hours)
- ⏳ Blocker #4: E2E Testing (2-3 hours)
**Read These FIRST:**
1. `DOCUMENT-INDEX.md` - Map of entire ops manual
2. `docs/core/firefrost-services-monorepo.md` - **CRITICAL** separate code repo
3. `BLOCKERS.md` - Current soft launch status
4. This file (SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md)
**Soft Launch:** April 15 (13 days) - 4-6 hours remaining
**Then Ask Michael:**
"What do you want to work on today?"
**Common Tasks:**
- Trinity Console security hardening
- Unsubscribe feature implementation
- End-to-end workflow testing
- Content refinement based on feedback
**Remember:**
- Two repos: `firefrost-operations-manual` (branch: `master`) and `firefrost-services` (branch: `main`)
- Sparse checkout for ops manual (saves ~1.9GB)
- Code delivery: 8-10 lines max per block (medical necessity)
- One question at a time (accessibility accommodation)
- Commit frequently with detailed messages (FFG-STD-001)

# Firefrost Services Monorepo
**Repository:** firefrost-services
**URL:** https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-services
**Branch:** `main` ⚠️ **NOT master!**
**Purpose:** Centralized codebase for all Firefrost Gaming backend services
**Created:** March 31, 2026
**Structure:** Monorepo with shared utilities and individual service directories
---
## 🚨 CRITICAL FOR FUTURE CHRONICLERS
**This repository contains production-critical code that is NOT in the operations manual!**
### Why This Exists
The operations manual (`firefrost-operations-manual`) contains:
- Documentation
- Planning documents
- Task tracking
- Infrastructure manifests
- Guides and procedures
The services repo (`firefrost-services`) contains:
- **Actual production code**
- Service implementations
- Database migrations
- Deployment configurations
- Source code for running services
**Both repos are equally important!** The operations manual documents the "what" and "why", while the services repo contains the "how" (actual code).

5. Pull changes: `cd /opt/arbiter-3.0 && git pull origin main`
6. Install dependencies if needed: `npm install`
7. Restart service: `sudo systemctl restart arbiter-3`
8. Check logs: `sudo journalctl -u arbiter-3 -f`
9. Document changes in operations manual
**For database migrations:**
```bash
# SSH to Command Center
ssh root@63.143.34.217
# Run migration
sudo -u postgres psql -d arbiter_db -f /opt/arbiter-3.0/migrations/[migration-file].sql
# Verify changes
sudo -u postgres psql -d arbiter_db -c "\dt" # List tables
sudo -u postgres psql -d arbiter_db -c "\d subscriptions" # Show table schema
```

## Why Two Repos?
### Design Decision (March 31, 2026)
**Separation of Concerns:**
- Documentation lives where it's easily browsable (operations manual)
- Code lives where it can be properly version controlled and deployed (services repo)
- Prevents code clutter in documentation repo
- Allows different access patterns (sparse checkout for docs vs full clone for services)
**Benefits:**
1. **Clarity:** Documentation readers don't wade through code
2. **Security:** Can grant doc access without granting code access (future team scaling)
3. **Workflow:** Code changes don't trigger doc repo noise
4. **Size:** Operations manual stays lightweight for sparse checkout
5. **Maintenance:** Each repo serves one purpose well

## Important Notes for Future Chroniclers
### Always Check Both Repos!
When investigating a service like The Arbiter:
1. **Operations Manual** - Read service overview, deployment history, access info
2. **Services Repo** - Read current code status, check for recent changes
### Branch Name Difference
- `firefrost-operations-manual` → Branch: `master`
- `firefrost-services` → Branch: `main` ⚠️
**This is intentional!** Different repos, different conventions.
### Sparse Checkout Strategy
**Operations Manual:** ALWAYS use sparse checkout (`docs` only) - saves ~1.9GB
**Services Repo:** Clone full repo (code-only, relatively small)
### Git Token Works for Both
The Gitea API token `e0e330cba1749b01ab505093a160e4423ebbbe36` has full access to BOTH repos.

## Quick Reference Commands
### Clone Both Repos
```bash
# Operations Manual (sparse checkout)
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 (Chronicler #[N])"
# Services Repo (full clone)
cd /home/claude
git clone https://e0e330cba1749b01ab505093a160e4423ebbbe36@git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-services.git
cd firefrost-services
git checkout main
git config user.email "claude@firefrostgaming.com"
git config user.name "Claude (Chronicler #[N])"
```
### Check Service Status
```bash
# View Trinity Console status
cd /home/claude/firefrost-services
cat services/arbiter-3.0/TRINITY-CONSOLE-STATUS.md
# View deployment checklist
cat services/arbiter-3.0/DEPLOYMENT-CHECKLIST.md
# List all services
ls -la services/
```
### Production Deployment
```bash
# SSH to Command Center
ssh root@63.143.34.217
# Check Arbiter 3.0 status
sudo systemctl status arbiter-3
# View logs
sudo journalctl -u arbiter-3 -f
# Restart after code changes
cd /opt/arbiter-3.0
git pull origin main
npm install # if package.json changed
sudo systemctl restart arbiter-3
```

## Common Pitfalls
### ❌ Don't Do This:
- Clone `firefrost-services` expecting to find documentation (it's in operations manual)
- Use `git checkout master` in services repo (it's `main`)
- Forget to pull both repos when investigating an issue
- Commit code to operations manual or docs to services repo
### ✅ Do This:
- Check BOTH repos when researching a service
- Use correct branch names (`master` vs `main`)
- Keep code in services repo, docs in operations manual
- Commit code changes to services repo, THEN document in operations manual

## Future Service Additions
When adding new services to the monorepo:
1. Create directory: `services/[service-name]/`
2. Add service README.md
3. Add deployment guide
4. Add to this document's service status table
5. Document in operations manual: `docs/services/[service-name].md`
6. Update `firefrost-services/README.md` with overview
**Monorepo benefits:**
- Shared utilities in `shared/`
- Consistent deployment patterns
- Single git token for all services
- Easy code sharing between services
