Claude (Chronicler #49) a99733ba1f docs: Add Breezehost dedicated server pricing reference
WHAT WAS DONE:
Added complete dedicated server pricing table to infrastructure manifest for capacity planning and expansion evaluation

CURRENT PRODUCTION SERVERS DOCUMENTED:
- TX1 Dallas: Dual Silver 4116 (24c/48t, 128GB RAM, 3.4TB NVMe) - $199/month
- NC1 Charlotte: AMD 9950x (16c/32t, 128GB RAM, 3.6TB NVMe) - $259/month
- Total: 13 game servers across 2 dedicated nodes

DEDICATED SERVER PRICING TABLE ADDED:
- AMD/Intel Mystery Box: $99/month (random hardware assignment)
- AMD 7950x - 128GB: $199/month (16c/32t)
- Dual Silver 4116: $199/month (24c/48t) ← Current TX1
- AMD 9950x - 128GB: $259/month (16c/32t) ← Current NC1
- Dual Gold 6142: $289/month (32c/64t, 256GB RAM)
- RTX 4090 Dedicated: $300/month (GPU workloads)
- AMD 9950x - 192GB: $329/month (16c/32t, upgraded RAM)
- 8x 5000 Bare Metal: $3,600/month (enterprise tier)

WHY THIS MATTERS:
These locked-in rates enable accurate cost analysis for:
- Adding 3rd dedicated node (TX2/NC2 for load balancing)
- GPU workloads (AI image generation, rendering, ML training)
- Geographic expansion (additional regions)
- Capacity planning (subscribers-per-server calculations)
- Provider comparisons (locked rates vs market rates)

EXPANSION SCENARIOS DOCUMENTED:
- TX2/NC2 node: $199-259/month for geographic redundancy
- GPU node: $300/month for AI/rendering (vs $250 VPS GPU)
- Mystery Box: $99/month for dev/staging/overflow capacity

CURRENT UTILIZATION:
- TX1: 6 game servers + FoundryVTT
- NC1: 7 game servers
- Total capacity: 13 production game servers

MYSTERY BOX EXPLANATION:
Random hardware assignment (AMD or Intel), significant discount vs specified hardware, suitable for non-critical workloads where specific CPU/specs not required.

Future Chroniclers now have complete dedicated server pricing context when capacity decisions are needed.
