⚠️ BLOCKER: Dev Panel Blueprint Corrupted

The Dev Panel's Blueprint developer mode is broken. Cannot run blueprint -build.

Symptoms:

• blueprint -build returns "Developer mode is not enabled"
• .blueprint/.developer file exists with content "true"
• Database has blueprint::developer = true
• Still refuses to build

Likely cause: Running php artisan migrate wiped some tables including the user table. May have corrupted Blueprint's internal state.

Options for next session:

1. Ask Gemini how to fix Blueprint developer mode
2. Reinstall Blueprint on Dev Panel
3. Start fresh Dev Panel from scratch

✅ WHAT WE ACCOMPLISHED

Phase 3-4: Working End-to-End Pipeline

• ✅ Admin settings panel (CurseForge API key storage)
• ✅ React component on server console page
• ✅ API calls to Modrinth/CurseForge/FTB/Technic working
• ✅ Tested successfully: "🌿 Adrenaserver 1.7.0+1.21.1.fabric"

Phase 5: Dashboard Badge (Code Written, Not Deployed)

All code is written and ready, just can't build due to Blueprint issue:

Files created on Dev Panel:

• /var/www/pterodactyl/.blueprint/dev/views/dashboard/UpdateBadge.tsx — Dashboard badge component
• /var/www/pterodactyl/.blueprint/dev/build.sh — Updated to inject into ServerRow.tsx
• /var/www/pterodactyl/.blueprint/dev/console/CheckModpackUpdates.php — Cron command
• /var/www/pterodactyl/app/Console/Commands/CheckModpackUpdates.php — Copied to app
• Updated migration with server_id, update_available columns
• Added getStatus() method to controller
• Added /status route

Architecture (confirmed by Gemini):

CRON JOB (background)
    │ php artisan modpackchecker:check
    │ Checks APIs one by one with delays
    │ Stores results in database
    ▼
DATABASE (modpackchecker_servers table)
    │ server_id, server_uuid, platform, modpack_name
    │ current_version, latest_version, update_available
    ▼
/api/client/extensions/modpackchecker/status
    │ One fast database query
    │ Returns: {server_uuid: {update_available: true/false}}
    ▼
UpdateBadge.tsx (injected into ServerRow.tsx)
    │ Reads from local endpoint only
    │ Shows 🟢 (up to date) or 🟠 (update available)

📁 CODE IN REPO (firefrost-services)

Commit 1eda889 has Phase 3-4 code. Phase 5 code is NOT yet committed (it's on the Dev Panel only).

To preserve Phase 5 work, next session should:

1. Copy files from Dev Panel to repo before any reinstall
2. Or fix Blueprint and complete the build

3. Run cron command: php artisan modpackchecker:check
4. Verify: Log in, see badge on server list

💡 GEMINI QUESTION FOR NEXT SESSION

"Blueprint developer mode won't enable. The .blueprint/.developer file exists with 'true', database has blueprint::developer = true, but blueprint -build says 'Developer mode is not enabled.' How do I fix this, or do I need to reinstall Blueprint?"
