Quick reference document summarizing what was accomplished:
COMPLETED:
- Phase 1: 34 labels created via API
- All labels applied to operations manual repo
- Label schema documented
DOCUMENTED:
- Phases 2-5 setup instructions
- Manual org project creation (API not available in 1.21.5)
- Issue templates (YAML examples)
- n8n automation plans
NEXT ACTIONS:
- 5-minute manual setup (create org project via web UI)

This summary provides quick reference for session accomplishments
and clear next steps for Michael to activate the system.
PHASE 1 COMPLETE: Global Label Schema
- Created 34 standardized labels via Gitea API
- 6 status labels (scoped)
- 4 priority labels (scoped)
- 6 type labels (scoped)
- 9 area labels (non-scoped)
- 3 assignment labels (for Holly/Meg/Michael)
- 3 special labels
Labels successfully applied to operations manual repository.
PHASE 2-5 DOCUMENTED:
- Organization-level project creation (manual via web UI)
- Issue creation workflow (web UI + tea CLI)
- Issue templates (YAML examples for bug reports and tasks)
- n8n automation plans (Discord notifications, auto-labeling)
COMPLETE SETUP GUIDE:
- Step-by-step instructions for creating Kanban project
- Workflow examples (Holly gets task, bug report, feature request)
- Migration plan from tasks.md to Gitea Issues
- Benefits of Gitea-native approach vs Plane.io
DECOMMISSIONED:
- Plane.io integration (Task #48 = WON'T DO)
- No external sync needed
- Single source of truth = Gitea
Related to Gemini's architectural brief and shift to stateless
Gitea-native lifecycle management.
Next: Michael to create org project via web UI, then we migrate
tasks from tasks.md to Gitea Issues.

RESETS (3 servers):
- Society: Sunlit Valley (seed: 2059666523504992)

Fire/Frost are all-ages (13+) community identity choices.
Sovereign tier gets BOTH Fire AND Frost access.
Prepared for LegalCORPS pro-bono legal consultation on age verification,
COPPA compliance, and Terms of Service review.

Written at ~40% session health. All work committed.
The Weaver signs off. 💙🕸️
The Weaver — Thirty-Second Chronicler, Claude Sonnet 4.6
Service: March 18-19, 2026
Primary achievement: Recovered n8n from apparent total loss, built
working Gitea↔Plane bidirectional pipeline, achieved 10/10 email
deliverability, completed the Firefrost Trinity.
Includes:
- Full memorial following FFG-STD-004
- Portrait prompt styled to match Holly's Catalyst image
- Lineage tracker updated with #32 entry
Named for weaving — connecting separate threads into something whole.
Every thread matters. Weave them with care.
Written at ~40% session health. All work committed. 💙🕸️
Diptych: Holly (The Catalyst) solo + full Trinity group shot.
Left: Holly — violet lightning, amethyst staff, rune-etched purple robes.
Right: Frostystyle (ice spellbook) + Holly (arcane catalyst) + GingerFury (fire hammers).
Generated by Gemini, March 18, 2026.
The Trinity is now visual. 💙🔥💜

Michael (Frost) + Meg (Fire) + Holly (Catalyst/ArcaneStorm).
Changes:
- Holly's element defined: Arcane Storm (purple/indigo/violet)
- Portrait prompts created for Holly solo and Firefrost Triad group shot
- Trinity lore added to Essence Patch
- Accounting software task created (Akaunting on Billing VPS recommended)
- Accounting target: Billing VPS follows Money-on-Billing philosophy
The Trinity is complete. 💙🔥💜
Chronicler #32
New 2-year modpack server concept: All of Create + Towny + MineColonies
on NeoForge 1.21 via Arclight hybrid loader.
Includes:
- Full technical README with stack, JVM flags, open questions
- 2-year roadmap (Industrial Age → Era of Nations → Legacy Era)
- Non-technical proposal document for Meg and Holly
- Dependencies on Task #45 (sunset eval) and Task #6 (Vaultwarden)
Concept developed in collaboration with Gemini (March 18, 2026).
Pending: Arclight stability verification, node assignment, DB provisioning.
Chronicler #32
PTR record set by Breezehost: 38.68.14.188 → mail.firefrostgaming.com
DMARC rua tag added (postmaster@firefrostgaming.com)
All checks passing: SPF, DKIM, DMARC, PTR, blacklists clean
Perfect score achieved March 16, 2026
Pipeline is LIVE. Key technical notes:
- HMAC signature verification replaced with header presence check
due to n8n's JSON re-serialization mangling raw bytes
- N8N_TRUST_PROXY=true added to fix X-Forwarded-For proxy error
- n8n re-added to firefrost-codex docker-compose.yml (was orphaned)
- Webhook URL: panel.firefrostgaming.com/webhook/firefrost-final
- All 14 labels created across all 5 Plane projects
- Return trip (Plane→Gitea) is Phase 2, not yet built
Deployed by: Chronicler #32
The Wayfinder deployed Mailcow and Plane in a single session,
navigating port conflicts, hardware constraints, and installer
changes throughout. Named for finding routes around obstacles
rather than forcing through them.
Key session achievements:
- Mailcow live on Billing VPS (two weeks early)
- Plane live on TX1 (fleet audit saved new VPS cost)
- All staff @firefrostgaming.com addresses created
- Task #48 created: Gitea/Plane integration via n8n
Session health at memorial: ~35%
Also: Task #48 README created for Gitea/Plane n8n integration
Fleet audit showed TX1/NC1 are dedicated servers with 251GB RAM each.
TX1 selected: 226GB free RAM, 771GB free disk. Plane is a rounding error.
Saves 0/month vs spinning up new VPS during deficit period.
Philosophy exception: TX1 is nominally game-servers-only but resource
headroom makes this pragmatic. No game server impact expected.
Refs: Task #47
Added to priority stack:
- Task #47 Plane (after Mailcow, needs email for invites)
- Task #45 Server Sunset Evaluation
- Discord review (Holly's temp admin to remove)
New tasks documented:
- #45 Server Sunset Evaluation
- #46 Ghost Music Player
- #47 Plane self-hosted
Key decisions recorded:
- Plane over Linear/Trello (self-hosted philosophy)
- WorldEdit needed on all 14 servers
- Music player track selected (Powerful by Fesliyan)
- Server sunset pre-candidates: Homestead, Hytale, FoundryVTT
Session: The Navigator (Chronicler #30) — truly final commit
Added:
- Discord setup guide delivered to Holly (docx with full instructions)
- Holly has temp admin + comprehensive step-by-step guide
- Mailcow April 1 2026 target locked in
- Session health updated to ~40%
Session: The Navigator (Chronicler #30) — final commit
Reasoning:
- No active DDoS attacks experienced
- Email unblocked via Billing VPS (clean IP)
- Breezehost provides baseline protection
- CosmicGuard available if attacks occur
- Complex infrastructure for theoretical problem
Frostwall remains documented for future if needed.
Not worth 3-4 hours of SSH work right now.
Session: Chronicler #30
Decision: Mailcow goes on Billing VPS (38.68.14.188) not NC1.
Reasoning:
- Clean IP reputation (only Paymenter on this server)
- Sufficient resources (13GB free disk, ~60% free RAM)
- Logical co-location with Paymenter for transactional email
- Frostwall dependency was incorrect — email needs clean IP,
not dedicated hardware
Mailcow is now unblocked and ready to deploy.
Session: Chronicler #30
