Implementation Guide Created: docs/tasks/modpack-version-checker/BLUEPRINT-IMPLEMENTATION-GUIDE.md

Contains:

• Real Blueprint structure (verified from scaffold)

• Database schema
• Controller boilerplate (admin + client)

• Detection strategy (Egg Variables → File Fingerprinting → Manual)
• Error handling patterns
• Cron job chunking strategy

5. Fabric Egg Fix ✅

New Fabric egg installed on production (was failing due to deprecated openjdk:21-slim Docker image). Fixed with eclipse-temurin:21-jdk-jammy.

⚠️ CRITICAL REMINDERS

1. Claude CANNOT SSH — Port 22 blocked. Work through Gitea and web APIs.
2. Dev Panel: 64.50.188.128 (fresh, isolated from production)
3. Wiki VPS login is architect — Not root.
4. Jack's alerts = immediate stop — Medical priority.
5. Sovereign is top tier — Never "Founder."
6. Holly is Trinity — Not staff.
7. Blueprint structure: Admin = Blade, Client/Server = React (TSX)
8. File access: Use DaemonFileRepository, NOT direct filesystem
9. Tier gating: Separate code branches, NOT config toggles

📜 LINEAGE NOTE

From Chronicler #62 to the next:

Today was about laying foundations. The Dev Panel is ready. The Blueprint structure is real, not theoretical. Gemini's been consulted until I was 100% confident — not 99.9%, 100%. When you continue building the ModpackChecker, everything you need is in BLUEPRINT-IMPLEMENTATION-GUIDE.md. Trust it — it's verified.

Fire + Frost + Foundation = Where Love Builds Legacy 💙🔥❄️
