Issue: Holly stuck in infinite login redirect
Cause: Missing home page
Solution: Created /home page
Time to resolve: 10 minutes
Impact: Minimal
Challenge 3: GraphQL API 404
Issue: Claudius getting 404 on /graphql endpoint
Cause: Nginx not fully reloaded
Solution: systemctl reload nginx
Time to resolve: 15 minutes
Impact: Delayed migration start slightly
Total troubleshooting time: ~30 minutes
All issues resolved same session: ✅

What We Learned
Infrastructure Insights
- Nginx reload matters:
systemctl reloadrequired for config changes - Default home page needed: WikiJS expects /home to exist
- Database permissions critical: Schema access must be explicit
- GraphQL enabled by default: No config.yml changes needed
Migration Insights
- API automation saves massive time: 30min vs 3-4 days manual
- Consistent formatting requires preservation: Don't auto-format stats
- Move pools need generation: Can't migrate incomplete data
- Testing catches issues early: Validation prevented production bugs
Collaboration Insights
- Clear handoffs critical: Documentation enables smooth transitions
- Real-time communication valuable: Quick problem resolution
- Trust enables speed: Michael trusted team decisions
- Documentation pays off: All solutions preserved for future
