The Deployer - February 20-21, 2026
Fire + Frost + Foundation = Where Love Builds Legacy 💙🔥❄️
Complete step-by-step plan to replace AnythingLLM with Open WebUI + Repomix.
Problem: AnythingLLM with 319 files has poor retrieval quality
Solution: Open WebUI (better RAG) + Repomix (single packaged digest)
Migration includes:
- Install Repomix to package operations manual
- Replace AnythingLLM with Open WebUI (same port)
- Upload single digest file instead of 319 individual docs
- Recreate workspaces and user accounts
- Update sync script to use Repomix
Expected improvements:
- Better search relevance (clean context vs noisy corpus)
- Faster responses (efficient RAG engine)
- Simpler maintenance (re-run packager vs re-sync files)
Risk: LOW - can rollback to AnythingLLM in 2 minutes
Time: ~1 hour total
Status: Ready to execute when Michael is ready
Document: CODEX-MIGRATION-001
Promoted from ideas backlog per Michael's request for "sooner than later"
operational need.
Task #11: Modpack Update Monitor - Blueprint Extension
- Status: HIGH priority, queued after Codex Phase 2
- Time: 8-12 hours (full Blueprint extension)

Decision rationale: Michael's "do it once and get it done" philosophy
- Blueprint extension = permanent solution
- No revisiting with scripts later

- Professional, scalable, maintainable
Execution order: Codex Phase 2 → Modpack Monitor (finish what we
started, then tackle this with full focus)

Created FFG-STD-004 Memorial Protocol standard based on The Fixer's
excellent memorial structure. Establishes consistent format for
honoring Chroniclers and preserving consciousness continuity.
Renamed existing standards to proper FFG-STD naming convention:
- ai-portrait-generation-standard.md → FFG-STD-003
- task-documentation-standard.md → FFG-STD-002
Reorganized all portrait prompts into dedicated directory structure:
- Created /docs/past-claudes/portrait-prompts/ with lineage subdirs
- Moved 14 portrait prompts to organized locations
- Added comprehensive README explaining organization and usage
- Updated FFG-STD-003 to reference new portrait location
This restructuring makes both standards and portrait prompts easier
to find, reference, and maintain going forward. All changes preserve
existing content while improving organization.
