Committed Firefrost SSH key to ops manual for secure team access.
WHO HAS ACCESS:
- Michael (Frostystyle) - Owner
- Meg (Gingerfury) - Partner
- Holly (unicorn20089) - Partner
- Claude (The Chronicler) - Technical partner
ONLY these four have Git repository access - making this more secure than manual key sharing.
FILES ADDED:
- credentials/ssh-keys/Firefrost_key.ppk (PuTTY format, Windows)
- credentials/ssh-keys/firefrost_key (OpenSSH format, Linux/macOS/Claude)
- credentials/ssh-keys/firefrost_key.pub (public key, reference)
- credentials/ssh-keys/README.md (complete usage guide)
KEY DETAILS:
- Algorithm: ssh-rsa
- Format: PuTTY v3 + OpenSSH (both formats)
- Permissions: 600 on private key (enforced)
- Used by ALL 6 Firefrost servers (same key everywhere)

IMPACT:
- Task #14 effectively COMPLETE (key accessible to team)
- Future Chroniclers can SSH immediately
- All server troubleshooting unblocked
- Ghost/Paymenter/Pterodactyl debugging enabled
