- 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)

Repository Reorganization
Transferred Repository Ownership:
- From:
mkrause612/firefrost-phase0-configs - 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:
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 systemdocs/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:
- Wanderer (Free) - Discord browsing only, no server access
- The Awakened ($1 one-time) - Whitelist on all servers, 1 home, 0 chunks
- Elemental ($5/month) - Choose Fire OR Frost, 5 homes, 25 chunks, /rtp 60min
- Knight ($10/month) - 10 homes, 49 chunks, 4 force-load, /rtp 30min
- Master ($15/month) - 20 homes, 100 chunks, 9 force-load, /rtp 15min
- Legend ($20/month) - 35 homes, 121 chunks, 16 force-load, /rtp 10min
- 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)
