Troubleshoot certbot urllib3 connection hang 2. Or manually generate certificate on different server 3. Or add pokerole to existing subscribers cert (requires working certbot) **Tracking:** Issue documented in deployment session notes --- ## Next Phase: Content Migration **Ready for Migration:** - 76 Pokémon entries (Tiers 3, 4, 5) - 225 sprites (115 normal + 110 shiny) - 19 custom abilities - 2 custom moves - Complete game mechanics documentation **Migration Team:** - Claudius (Stage 2) - The Pattern Forger - Michael (coordination) - Holly (review and approval) **Estimated Timeline:** - Day 1: Tier 3 (26 Pokémon) - Day 2: Tier 4 (31 Pokémon) - Day 3: Tier 5 (19 Regional Forms) - Day 4: Polish and final review **Migration Start:** February 27, 2026 (today) --- ## Deployment Timeline **Total Time:** ~1 hour 15 minutes - Pre-deployment setup: 10 minutes - Wiki.js installation: 15 minutes - Database configuration: 10 minutes - Permission troubleshooting: 5 minutes - Nginx configuration: 10 minutes - SSL troubleshooting: 20 minutes (unsuccessful) - HTTP fallback: 5 minutes **Challenges Encountered:** 1.
