This file was created but not committed in earlier push
Real-world comparison shows 10x efficiency:
- 25 hours vs 240 person-hours typical
- Solo deployment vs 6-person team
- Zero downtime, zero data loss
For Meg to see The Wizard's accomplishment 🧙♂️
Final session (13+ hours total):
- Staff Wiki Git storage configured
- Meg added as admin (gingerfury)
- All branding assets migrated
- Community docs added
- Image display fixed

Phase 0.5: 100% COMPLETE
Fire + Frost = Where Passion Meets Precision 🔥❄️
- automation/update-sandbox-briefing.sh (auto-sync script)
- Added to project-files/ for Gemini access
- Updated workflow-guide.md with sandbox integration
- Keeps exploratory AI in sync with production progress
Uptime Kuma successfully migrated from TX1 to Command Center VPS:
- Node.js upgraded (18.20.8 → 20.20.0) for compatibility
- All monitors operational at status.firefrostgaming.com
- Data preserved (kuma.db + config)
- SSL certificate configured
- 100% uptime on all monitored services
NEW BEST PRACTICE: Update Cloudflare DNS BEFORE running Certbot
- Prevents SSL cert validation failures
- Added to workflow-guide.md
Migration Progress: 3/3 services complete (Gitea, Automation, Uptime Kuma)
Total session time: 5.5 hours
Game server impact: ZERO
Data loss: ZERO
NC1 monitoring: Still excluded (datacenter routing limitation)
Remaining: Ghost VPS cluster (MkDocs, Wiki.js, NextCloud)
Command Center VPS now serving:
- git.firefrostgaming.com (Gitea)
- status.firefrostgaming.com (Uptime Kuma)
- Automation daemon (connected to Gitea)
Established:
- When Claude should remind (pivots, deployments, major changes)
- Which files need updating most often
- The reminder format for end-of-session
- Michael's commitment to always update when reminded
Ensures: Project files stay fresh, no documentation drift
Established core principle: 'Always revise ALL documents when changes occur'
Documented:
- Why documentation drift is harmful
- What triggers updates (pivots, deployments, decisions)
- Which documents to check (scope, handoff, memory, instructions)
- The 4-step update workflow
- Examples of good discipline
- Anti-patterns to avoid
- The 5-minute rule
Prevents: Technical debt, context loss, future confusion
Ensures: Fast session starts, clear audit trail, team collaboration
