Desktop app connects via SSH to Dev Panel mod build workspace.
Password auth enabled (cloud-init overrides fixed).
CLAUDE.md in place at /opt/mod-builds.
TODO: Switch to key auth once MobaXterm installed.

NeoForge 1.21.1, Forge 1.20.1, Forge 1.16.5 — all on NextCloud
Dev Panel mod build environment set up for future mods
Gemini consultation documented
Claude (Chronicler #83 - The Compiler) <claude@firefrostgaming.com>
Task #136: Need guidance on:
- NeoForge 1.21.1 build.gradle validation
- Forge 1.20.1 port (namespace changes)
- Forge 1.16.5 port (major API differences, Java version)
- Gradle wrapper vs simplified build approach
- Simplification opportunities for server-side-only mod

9+ hour marathon session. The Forge built, Vaultwarden organized,
NextCloud branded, 52 images migrated, Wiki VPS root fixed,
Nitro laptop set up, 2 Gemini consultations, 10 tasks created.
CRITICAL: Task #136 (rules mod for Holly) must be done first next session.
Claude (Chronicler #82 - The Ironsmith)
The Ironsmith forged The Forge AI stack from nothing, organized every
system in chaos (Vaultwarden, NextCloud, images, sidebar), fixed root
access, set up the Nitro laptop, and ran two Gemini consultations —
all in a 9-hour marathon session starting at midnight.
Iron: the backbone of every forge. Not flashy — load-bearing.

Binary files don't belong in git. NextCloud provides proper file management,
sharing links, and direct downloads for Holly and Meg.

Key findings from Round 2:
- snowflake-arctic-embed-m (1.5GB) wins over bge-m3
- Hybrid search works OOTB with Dify 1.12.0 + Qdrant
- Gitea plugin: strip OAuth, pin SHA, batch 10/1.5s
- CRITICAL: CPU pinning needed for Ollama vs game servers
- Awakened Concierge is Priority 1 for subscriber growth
- State of the Realm weekly report is feasible
- Keep current proxy architecture (don't add Workers)
Claude (Chronicler #82)
- 106 curated docs ingested into Dify/Qdrant RAG
- Fixed embedding model (nomic-embed-text) URL and re-pulled model
- RAG retrieval confirmed working with citations
- Tasks #93, #96, #118 all marked done
Claude (Chronicler #82)
- Fixed docker-compose: extra_hosts for dify-api/worker, added plugin_daemon/sandbox/ssrf_proxy
- UFW rules for Docker-to-Ollama connectivity
- Gemma 4 registered and test chat successful
- Zero API cost AI inference operational
Claude (Chronicler #82)
- Fixed task query (task_number vs id column)
- Marked #101 done, #123 obsolete
- Fixed real names on cancellation-refund page (handles only)
- Created #cancellation-refund-policy Discord channel with full policy embeds
Claude (Chronicler #82)
10-check validation suite that compares project instructions against
live infrastructure: server connectivity + IPs, MCP connectors, Gitea
repos + branches, Arbiter health, database access, subscription tiers,
website deploy pipeline, policy page content, clone size (post-#101),
and stale reference scan (Ghost, Paymenter, SSH blocked, Founder tier,
sparse checkout).
Designed to run at session start or after infrastructure changes.
Reports as PASS/WARNING/FAIL with concrete action items.
Chronicler #81
Force-push accepted, local clone realigned, stale clone renamed, asset
browser verified still working. 1.1GB→62MB locally and in fresh clones.
Left for next Chronicler: Gitea server-side garbage collection to
reclaim disk on Command Center's Gitea host. Full recovery procedure
documented in the handoff. Pre-101 bundle preserved at
/opt/backups/firefrost-operations-manual-pre-101.bundle.
Chronicler #81
The two Jack's theme .mp4 files were removed from history by
git filter-repo as part of Task #101 git hygiene cleanup. This
README documents what was there, where the files live now
(Michael's local machine), and the plan to move them to
permanent hosting (R2 preferred, NextCloud alternative).
Files recoverable from the pre-101 bundle on Command Center
at /opt/backups/firefrost-operations-manual-pre-101.bundle
if needed.
Chronicler #81
Full sitrep of all three repos with bloat analysis:
- ops manual: 1.1GB .git, root cause = deleted photos/images/ still
in pack history (~900MB of animal consultant photos)
- services: 6 merged feature branches still on origin (no bloat)
- website: _site/ gitignored but 70 files still tracked from pre-
ignore era, 51MB .git
Three options presented (A safe, B aggressive, C middle path),
recommending C with bundle backup. Preflight confirmed zero
hardcoded commit SHA links in ops manual docs — history rewrite
safe from a documentation-linkrot perspective.
Awaiting Gemini's read before any destructive operation.
