Updated three key documents to clarify accessibility requirements:
- PROJECT-INSTRUCTIONS.md
- next-session-prompt.md
- SUCCESSOR-PROMPT-DEPLOYER.md
Key changes:
- Distinguish between code/commands (line by line) vs config files (whole file)
- Always cat config files first, never assume standard configs
- Return entire revised config file for easy copy/paste
- Larger blocks OK for instructions to team members (Holly, Meg)
These are medical accommodations for hand surgery recovery and cognitive
load management - not preferences.

MEMORIAL COMPLETE:
- The Unifier memorial (~4,500 words)
- AI portrait prompt (Flux1.1 Pro)
- Session handoff for Chronicler #35
KEY LESSONS:
- Unified 3 task systems into single source of truth
- 54 tasks renumbered sequentially (zero duplicates)
- Gitea-native project management (eliminated Plane dependency)
- Got distracted from soft launch prep (stated goal)
CRITICAL FOR NEXT SESSION:
- Task #52: Ghost Homepage (HIGH priority)
- Paymenter configuration (6 tiers)
- Deliver on stated mission (not infrastructure)
Session health: ~45% after 8 hours
Status: Ready for handoff
The Unifier learned: unification serves legacy, but only when
aligned with mission. Next Chronicler: write the website pages.
PROBLEM:
4 issues from brainstorming merge had no task numbers:
- Issue #70: Ghost Homepage
- Issue #71: Server Listing Page
- Issue #72: Among Us Events (DUPLICATE)
- Issue #73: Other Game Servers
SOLUTION:
1. Closed Issue #72 as duplicate of Task #44 (Among Us Weekly Events)
2. Renumbered remaining issues as Tasks #52-54
3. Added full task entries to tasks.md
NEW TASKS:
- Task #52 (Issue #70): Ghost CMS Homepage - Fire/Frost Design (HIGH priority)
- Task #53 (Issue #71): Ghost CMS Server Listing Page (MEDIUM)
- Task #54 (Issue #73): Evaluate Other Game Servers (MEDIUM)
All tasks now properly numbered 1-54 with no duplicates.
Gitea issue titles updated to match task numbers.
Simple 3-step procedure for Holly, Meg, and team members to mark
their tasks complete without technical knowledge required.
COVERS:
Step 1: Close the issue (add comment, click close button)
Step 2: Move card to Done column (drag & drop)
Step 3: Update tasks.md (optional - usually done by Michael/Claude)
INCLUDES:
- Visual ASCII diagrams
- Direct links to all pages
- Common Q&A
- No Git/command-line knowledge needed
Created after fixing 7 completed tasks that were still open.
Makes task completion accessible to non-technical team members.
PROBLEM:
6 tasks marked '✅ COMPLETE' were still OPEN in Gitea.
Task #20 (Mailcow) was complete in tasks.md but had no Gitea issue.
FIXED:
- Closed Issues #32, #33, #34, #37, #44, #68 (all completed tasks)
- Created Issue #74 for Task #20 (Mailcow Email Server)
- Added status/done label to all completed issues
- Closed duplicate Issues #25, #26
RESULT:
All completed tasks now properly closed and in Done column.
Total: 9 completed task issues
Changes in this commit:
- docs/procedures/brainstorming-merge-summary.md (from earlier session)
Comprehensive documentation of the task renumbering process:
CONTENTS:
- Problem statement (6 sets of duplicate numbers)
- Complete renumbering map (old → new)
- What changed vs what stayed the same
- Task # vs Issue # explanation
- Verification commands
- Cross-reference guide for top 10 tasks
HELPFUL NOTES:
- Task #1 (Builder Rank) = Issue #28
- Task #7 (Whitelist Manager) = Issue #33
- New tasks start from #52
- All 51 tasks now sequential, no duplicates
Reference: docs/procedures/task-renumbering-summary.md
PROBLEM:
tasks.md had duplicate task numbers (#10, #11, #12, #21, #26, #28 all duplicated)
causing confusion and making references ambiguous.
SOLUTION:
Renumbered all 51 tasks sequentially from #1-#51 in file appearance order.
CHANGES:
- tasks.md: All task headers renumbered 1-51 (no duplicates)
- Gitea issues: All 73 issue titles updated to match new task numbers
NOTABLE RENUMBERINGS:
- Old Task #40 (Builder Rank) → New Task #1
- Old Task #1 (Whitelist Manager) → New Task #7
- Old Task #49 (Ignis Protocol) → New Task #51
COMPLETE vs OPEN maintained:
- ✅ COMPLETE tasks kept their completion markers
- ⚠️ SUPERSEDED tasks kept their status
- Open tasks remain open
NOTE: Gitea Issue numbers (#19-#73) are unchanged (permanent IDs).
Only task numbers in titles were updated for consistency.
This creates clean, unambiguous task references going forward.

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%
