📊 SUMMARY
Total Blockers: 4 tasks
Completed: 1 ✅
Remaining: 3 ⏳
Estimated Time Remaining: 5-8 hours of focused work
Days Remaining: 14 days
Urgency: LOW (very doable, homepage done!)
Remaining Priorities:
- ⏳ Legal pages (can draft with AI assistance) - 1-2 hours
- ⏳ Unsubscribe UI (backend ready, needs frontend) - 2-3 hours
- ⏳ End-to-end testing (validate everything works) - 2-3 hours
🎯 POST-LAUNCH PRIORITIES (Not Blockers)
These improve operations but don't prevent soft launch:
- Paymenter → Pterodactyl auto-provisioning (manual is fine for 10 users)
- Holly's Builder rank setup (can do post-launch)
- Rank system deployment (Phase 1 can wait)
- Additional automation and polish
Fire + Frost + Foundation = Where Love Builds Legacy 🔥❄️
