Fixed stale info in 5 documents (manifest, scope, architecture decisions, design bible, README) - Archived 4 completed documents (migration plan/checklist/rollback, git-access-plan) - Merged 3 documents (what-claude-learned→relationship, legacy-vision→mission, photo-catalog→archive) - Deleted 1 duplicate (technical-readme.md) and 1 test artifact (test-file.md) - De-duplicated server tables in session-handoff.md (reference manifest instead) - Trimmed gemini-brainstorming-guide.md (1,532 → 154 lines) -

**To:** `firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual` - **Organization Created:** `firefrost-gaming` (brand-aligned structure) - **Reason:** Repository now contains comprehensive operations documentation beyond Phase 0 scope **Repository Renamed:** - **Old Name:** `firefrost-phase0-configs` (narrow, phase-specific) - **New Name:** `firefrost-operations-manual` (descriptive, scalable) - **Reason:** Repository is the authoritative operational manual for entire Firefrost infrastructure **Local Git Remote Updated:** - All contributors must update remote URL: ```bash git remote set-url origin https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual.git ``` --- ### Added - Core Documentation (2,537 lines) **Subscription & Community Structure:** - `docs/subscription-tiers-final.md` - Complete tier structure ($1-$499) with Fire/Frost dual-path system - `docs/discord-structure-complete.md` - Full channel/role architecture (15 server-synced channels, competitive Fire vs Frost model) - `docs/path-philosophy.md` - Fire vs Frost marketing content for Ghost CMS (magic mods vs tech mods identity) - `docs/awakened-gateway.md` - $1 "Handshake" security protocol documentation and rationale **Technical Infrastructure:** - `docs/luckperms-structure.md` - Permission hierarchy for 13+ server network with MySQL backend strategy **Design & Brand:** - All documents aligned with Design Bible v1.1 color specifications - Fire Path: `#FF3D00` (Deep Orange/Red) - Frost Path: `#00E5FF` (Electric Cyan) - Founder: `#FFD600` (Amber Gold) --- ### Established - Core Systems **Fire + Frost Competitive Model:** - Dual-path subscription system (Gingerfury vs Frostystyle recruitment competition) - Path-exclusive Discord channels and community spaces - Identical mechanical perks, different social/identity experience - Founder tier (Sovereign $499 lifetime) accesses BOTH paths **Subscription Tier Progression:** 1. **Wanderer** (Free) - Discord browsing only, no server access 2. **The Awakened** ($1 one-time) - Whitelist on all servers, 1 home, 0 chunks 3. **Elemental** ($5/month) - Choose Fire OR Frost, 5 homes, 25 chunks, /rtp 60min 4. **Knight** ($10/month) - 10 homes, 49 chunks, 4 force-load, /rtp 30min 5. **Master** ($15/month) - 20 homes, 100 chunks, 9 force-load, /rtp 15min 6. **Legend** ($20/month) - 35 homes, 121 chunks, 16 force-load, /rtp 10min 7. **Sovereign** ($499 lifetime) - 50 homes, 225 chunks, 81 force-load, unlimited /rtp, BOTH paths **Multi-Game Vision:** - Primary: Minecraft (13+ servers across NC1 Charlotte, TX1 Dallas) - Secondary: Hytale (1 server, awaiting game release) - Secondary: FoundryVTT (separate GM addon system, 14-day grace / 30-day download lifecycle) - Future: Additional community-requested games **Security Protocol:** - $1 "Handshake" gateway: bot/troll deterrent, financial accountability, psychological investment - **NOT** age verification (separate legal-compliant system required for 18+ content) - Permanent bans tied to payment identity (Stripe customer ID) --- ### Repository Structure ``` / ├── CHANGELOG.md (this file) ├── README.md ├── docs/ │ ├── awakened-gateway.md │ ├── design-bible-v1.1.md │ ├── discord-structure-complete.md │ ├── firefrost-master-implementation-plan.md │ ├── firefrost-shopping-list.md │ ├── luckperms-structure.md │ ├── path-philosophy.md │ ├── subscription-tiers-final.md │ └── workflow-guide.md ├── web/ (Nginx configs) ├── visual-assets/ (logos, backgrounds, brand materials) └── [additional directories as infrastructure grows] ``` --- ### Notes **Current Team:** -
