🎯 Current Task Status

Tier 0 - Immediate Wins

  1. ✅ Whitelist Manager - COMPLETE (waiting for SSH to deploy)
  2. ⏳ Command Center Cleanup - Needs SSH
  3. ✅ Staff Recruitment - Documentation complete (awaiting decisions)
  4. ✅ NC1 Cleanup - COMPLETE

Tier 1 - Security Foundation

  1. ⏳ Vaultwarden - Needs SSH
  2. ✅ Frostwall Protocol - COMPLETE PLANNING (ready to implement with SSH)
  3. ⏳ Command Center Security - Needs SSH
  4. ⏳ Scoped Gitea Token - Needs Vaultwarden first

⏭️ What's Next

Immediate (when SSH available):

  1. Deploy Whitelist Manager to Billing VPS (~30-45 min)
  2. Deploy Frostwall Protocol (3-4 hours)
  3. Command Center cleanup (15 min)
  4. Command Center security hardening (1 hour)

Decisions Needed:

  1. Staff Recruitment prerequisites:
    • Incentive instance specs (RAM/CPU/disk)
    • Application review process timing
    • Recruitment ad edits (mention specific modpacks? deadline?)

Can Work On Without SSH:

  • Tier 2+ task planning
  • Documentation improvements
  • Architecture designs
  • More task breakdowns

🔥❄️ Key Achievements

Whitelist Manager:

  • Built from zero to deployment-ready in one session
  • Eliminates 96.7% of time spent on whitelist management
  • Professional web interface with Fire & Frost branding
  • Full security (HTTPS, auth, API key management)

Frostwall Protocol:

  • Transformed Google Doc notes into comprehensive deployment guide
  • Three-tier IP architecture fully documented
  • Self-healing tunnel system designed
  • Unblocks two major Tier 2 deployments (Mailcow + AI stack)

Staff Recruitment:

  • Complete application-to-onboarding workflow documented
  • Professional communication templates
  • Objective scoring system for fair evaluation
  • Ready to post recruitment ad when prerequisites complete

💡 Insights and Improvements

What Worked Well:

  • Systematic approach to tasks
  • Comprehensive documentation before implementation
  • Following FFG standards (STD-001, STD-002)
  • Small, focused commits
  • Accessibility-first approach (small code blocks, artifacts)

Process Improvements Made:

  • Project Instructions now include git access protocol
  • All major tasks have complete deployment plans
  • Troubleshooting guides created proactively
  • Prerequisites documented before starting work
