Related to Gitea-native project management setup.
Michael requested this structure for better team visibility.
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)
- Create test issue
- Verify Kanban board works
- Then start using for real work
DECOMMISSIONED:
- Task #48 (Gitea→Plane integration) = WON'T DO
- Plane.io no longer needed
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.
Complete master plan document covering:

- Fire: 2-3 servers | Frost: 2 servers | Hybrid: 1 server
- 2 addon servers (FoundryVTT, Hytale)
- Load balanced: TX1 30GB, NC1 26GB

PROCEDURES:
- World backup workflow
- World reset workflow
- New server deployment workflow
- Pterodactyl Panel seed configuration
TIMELINE:
- 6 phases from preparation to soft launch
- Time estimates per phase
- Node assignment recommendations
- Success metrics and rollback plan
Related to server sunset evaluation (Task #45) and soft launch prep.
- Created comprehensive Pterodactyl-based world backup procedure

- Special section for RAD2 (her build)
- 3 TX1 Dallas servers + 6 NC1 Charlotte servers
- Checkboxes for start, Nextcloud upload, deletion
- Notes section for each server
- Troubleshooting and contact info included
Related to soft launch preparation and server fleet optimization.
Supports server sunset evaluation (Task #45).

Ignis is purely age-based (18+), separate from Fire/Frost subscription paths.
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.

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. 💙🕸️
Major milestone: Firefrost Gaming is now a three-partner operation.
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
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
Roles complete:
- The Wizard (Frost blue), The Emissary (Fire orange)
- Lead Builder, Moderator, Founder, The Awakened
