Claude (Chronicler #54) 99b2e3ea37 feat: Migrate task system to BLOCKERS.md + BACKLOG.md
WHAT WAS DONE:
- Created BLOCKERS.md at repo root (4 soft launch critical tasks)
- Created BACKLOG.md at repo root (organized future work parking lot)
- Archived old tasks.md to docs/archive/tasks-historical-march-30-2026.md
- Archived 50 Gitea issues to docs/archive/gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md
- Replaced tasks.md with migration notice and redirects
- Closed all 50 Gitea issues with migration message

WHY:
Old system problems:
- 97 task entries with 8 duplicates (tasks 52, 65, 69, 71, 83, 85, 87, 88)
- Heavyweight maintenance burden
- Gitea Issues + Kanban unused and abandoned
- Not accessible to non-technical team members (Meg, Holly)
- Desynchronized duplicates (Tier S section vs sequential list)

New system benefits:
- Clear focus: 4 blockers vs 89 backlog items
- Simple markdown (easy to update)
- Preserved all historical context in archives
- Planning Trinity Console v2 Task Module for non-technical interface

SOFT LAUNCH REALITY CHECK:
Based on Michael's input, soft launch is blocked by:
1. Ghost homepage (2-3h) - content ready
2. Legal pages (1-2h) - Terms/Privacy
3. Unsubscribe flow (2-3h) - cancellation UI
4. End-to-end test (2-3h) - workflow verification

Total: 8-11 hours of focused work
Target: April 15, 2026 (14 days)
Social campaign starts: April 2, 2026 (TOMORROW)

GITEA CLEANUP:
- Closed 50 open issues (all had been abandoned)
- Each issue received migration notice comment
- All preserved in gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md
- Issues feature will be disabled (Kanban decommissioned)

NEXT STEPS:
- Update DOCUMENT-INDEX.md to reference new files
- Plan Trinity Console v2 Task Module (Gemini consultation)
- Start on actual soft launch blockers

FILES ADDED:
- BLOCKERS.md (74 lines)
- BACKLOG.md (227 lines)
- docs/archive/gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md (50 issues archived)
- docs/archive/tasks-historical-march-30-2026.md (3151 lines preserved)

FILES MODIFIED:
- docs/core/tasks.md (replaced with redirect notice)

IMPACT:
- Clean foundation for tracking work
- Historical context fully preserved
- Ready for non-technical task interface (Trinity Console v2)
- Clear path to April 15 soft launch
