CURRENT CONTEXT — Immediate Session Briefing
Last Updated: March 27, 2026
Updated By: The Verifier (Chronicler #42)
Purpose: Quick context for new Chronicler without reading 50 documents
🎉 SOFT LAUNCH WEBSITE READY ✅
As of March 27, 2026:
- ✅ Ghost CMS Subscribe Page complete (Task #52)
- ✅ Paymenter 11 subscription products configured
- ✅ Fire/Frost dual-path branding fully implemented
- ✅ All subscribe buttons linked to billing portal
Website is production-ready for public traffic.
🚨 ACTIVE BLOCKERS (Right Now)
Task #2: Rank System Deployment (LuckPerms + Subscription Automation)
Status: 🔴 CRITICAL BLOCKER — Prevents accepting real subscribers
Current Phase: Part 1 delegated to Holly (mod deployment)
Estimate: 13-18 hours total (6-8 hours delegated, 4-6 hours remaining)
Impact: Website can launch, but subscribers won't get automated permissions
Three-part implementation:
- ✅ Server-Side Mod Deployment (DELEGATED TO HOLLY — March 27)
- MySQL database created ✅
- Credentials stored in Vaultwarden ✅
- Complete guide provided to Holly ✅
- Holly executing: Deploy mods + configure MySQL on 13 servers
- 📋 READY: Subscription Automation (4-6 hours) — Discord bot + Paymenter webhooks
- 🗓️ PLANNED: Discord Bot Admin Panel (3-4 hours, optional) — Holly's independence tool
Documentation:
docs/guides/server-side-mod-deployment-guide.mddocs/guides/subscription-automation-guide.mddocs/services/luckperms-mysql-database.md(NEW — March 27)
Flow: Paymenter → Discord Bot → Discord Role → LuckPerms → In-game permissions
Next Steps: Wait for Holly to complete mod deployment, then implement Part 2 (Discord bot).
Task #56: Social Media Account Setup
Status: ⏳ WAITING — Meg creating accounts (slow progress)
Progress: 2/11 platforms complete (Discord ✅, Facebook ✅)
Assigned: Meg (community manager)
Velocity: Slow (accounts created on Meg's timeline)
Impact: NOT blocking soft launch (footer shows "Coming Soon")
Docs: Updated March 26 to include Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Kick
📋 RECENT DECISIONS (Last 3 Sessions)

March 26, 2026 (The Verifier - Chronicler #42)
- Expanded social media platforms: 7 → 11 total (added Reddit, Bluesky, Mastodon, Kick)
- Created FFG-STD-002 v2.0: Decision Capture Rule + Task Status Precision
- Created CURRENT-CONTEXT.md: This document (living context for Chroniclers)
- Identified documentation gap: Reddit/Bluesky/Mastodon/Kick decision was made but not documented in Task #56
March 25, 2026 (The Verifier - Chronicler #41)
- Stripe API keys corrected: Were wrong in Paymenter UI, now fixed
- Mailcow port 25 unblocked: Breezehost unblocked on request (March 25)
- Email infrastructure verified: All three systems working (Mailcow, Ghost SMTP, Paymenter SMTP)
- 10 subscription tiers created: Fire/Frost path split at each tier level
March 21-22, 2026 (Previous Chroniclers)
- Ghost theme migrated: Casper → Source v1.5.2 (eliminated CSS battles)
- Ghost homepage built: 95% complete with Trinity branding (Fire + Arcane + Frost)
- Ghost Page Builder tool created: Interactive React tool for HTML preview
🎯 SOFT LAUNCH STATUS
✅ READY
- Email infrastructure (Mailcow, Ghost SMTP, Paymenter SMTP)
- Payment processing (Stripe live mode, real money)
- Subscription tiers (10 tiers in Paymenter)
- Website (Ghost homepage 95% complete, Trinity branding)
⏳ PENDING (Non-Blocking)
- Social media accounts (Meg creating, slow progress)
- Social media links in footer (waiting on accounts)
🔴 BLOCKING SOFT LAUNCH
- Task #2: Rank System Deployment (CRITICAL - must complete before accepting subscribers)
- Part 1: LuckPerms + server mods (6-8 hours)
- Part 2: Discord bot + webhooks (4-6 hours)
- Part 3: Admin panel (3-4 hours, optional)
Once Task #2 complete: Soft launch ready
Note: Task #83 (Pterodactyl Panel provisioning) is NOT needed for soft launch — that's for staff panel access. Subscribers need Discord role → in-game permissions, handled by Task #2.
🔥 KNOWN ISSUES & CONTEXT
Meg's Account Creation Velocity
- Task #56 assigned to Meg
- Progress is slow (2/11 platforms done over multiple weeks)
- This is not a blocker — soft launch doesn't require all platforms
- Documentation: Now documented factually without editorial judgment
Jack's Health Alerts
- Jack = Michael's Chief Medical Alert Officer (medical alert dog)
- ALL alerts take absolute priority over work
- No exceptions — if Jack alerts, stop immediately
Michael's Hand Surgery Recovery
- Right hand/arm affecting typing and navigation
- Code blocks MUST be small (8-10 lines max, separately pasteable)
- This is medical accommodation, not preference
Holly (Third Partner)
- Formally elevated: Not just Lead Builder, third partner in business
- Element: Arcane Storm / Catalyst (purple)
- Trinity concept: The Wizard (Frost), The Emissary (Fire), The Catalyst (Arcane)
🗂️ CRITICAL PATH TO SOFT LAUNCH
Current focus: Task #83 (Paymenter → Pterodactyl auto-provisioning)
Why critical: Without this, every subscriber requires manual Pterodactyl account creation. Does not scale beyond 5-10 subscribers.
After Task #83:
- Test full subscription lifecycle (subscribe → access → upgrade → cancel)
- Monitor first 10 real subscriptions manually
- Soft launch ready
Not on critical path:
- Social media accounts (Meg's ongoing work)
- Ghost homepage polish (already 95% done)
- Legal page reviews (Terms/Privacy already exist)
