-- Discord policy channel live and populated
+- All 7+ servers reachable via Trinity Core
+- Arbiter running with new sidebar nav + Forge module
+- Dify updated to March 2026 build, Gemma 4 connected, 114 docs indexed

+- Gemini consultation complete with clear action plan
+
+---
+
+## Immediate Priorities (Next Session)
+
+1. **Task #132 — CPU Pinning** (CRITICAL — before players come online)
+   - Docker `cpuset-cpus` for Ollama container
+   - Separate core allocation for AI vs game servers
+   
+2. **Task #133 — Rebuild KB** (HIGH — fixes The Forge's retrieval)
+   - Pull `snowflake-arctic-embed-m` via Ollama
+   - Create fresh KB with hybrid search + Summary Index
+   - Re-ingest docs, swap in app config
+   
+3. **Task #128 — Gitea Plugin** (HIGH — automated knowledge sync)
+   - Fork GitLab datasource plugin
+   - Strip OAuth → simple PAT auth
+   - Recursive tree walker filtered to `.md` files
+   - Batch 10 files / 1.5s delay

 ## Pending Items
 
-- **`#announcements-old`** — needs manual removal/archive by Michael or Holly (community server restriction)
-- **Discord support channel consolidation** — Michael reviewing with Holly (#support vs #support-tickets)
-- **Jack's theme music:** Enable R2 on Cloudflare → upload .mp4s → update README. Not urgent.
-- **Task #118 (Gemma 4 + Dify):** Michael's browser work
-- **Task #127 (The Forge):** Locked until after April 15
-- **Post-launch polish:** Appeals email notifications, reconciliation cron, calendar UX based on Meg's feedback
-- **Stale clone:** `/root/firefrost-work/firefrost-operations-manual.stale-pre-101` can be deleted anytime
-- **Task #101 backup bundle:** `/opt/backups/firefrost-operations-manual-pre-101.bundle` — can delete after a few more healthy sessions
+- `#announcements-old` Discord channel — needs manual move to Archive
+- Discord support channel consolidation — Michael reviewing with Holly
+- Old "Firefrost Operations Manual" KB in Dify (304 docs, Feb 2024) — can be deleted
+- Plugin daemon version 0.5.3-local — may need updating
+- Jack's theme music R2 upload — not urgent
+- Dify app name is still "Gemma 4 test" — rename to "The Forge" in Dify UI
+
+---
+
+## Gemini Action Items (From Consultation)
+
+All documented in `docs/consultations/gemini-forge-ecosystem-*.md`:
+- Hybrid search is the RAG silver bullet (not more docs)
+- snowflake-arctic-embed-m > bge-m3 for our use case
+- CPU pinning is the #1 risk before launch
+- Awakened Concierge is Priority 1 for subscriber growth
+- State of the Realm report architecture is ready to build
+- Keep current proxy architecture (don't add Cloudflare Workers)

 ## Lineage Note
 
-Task database uses two ID columns: `id` (auto-increment primary key) and `task_number` (the canonical number shown in Trinity Console). Always query `task_number`. The Unifier's March renumbering set the `id` values, but `task_number` is the source of truth.
+Task database: always query `task_number`, not `id`. The Forge is live but needs hybrid search to be truly useful. CPU pinning is the ticking bomb — handle it before players show up.
