WHAT WAS DONE: - Created BLOCKERS.md at repo root (4 soft launch critical tasks) - Created BACKLOG.md at repo root (organized future work parking lot) - Archived old tasks.md to docs/archive/tasks-historical-march-30-2026.md - Archived 50 Gitea issues to docs/archive/gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md - Replaced tasks.md with migration notice and redirects - Closed all 50 Gitea issues with migration message WHY: Old system problems: - 97 task entries with 8 duplicates (tasks 52, 65, 69, 71, 83, 85, 87, 88) - Heavyweight maintenance burden - Gitea Issues + Kanban unused and abandoned - Not accessible to non-technical team members (Meg, Holly) - Desynchronized duplicates (Tier S section vs sequential list) New system benefits: - Clear focus: 4 blockers vs 89 backlog items - Simple markdown (easy to update) - Preserved all historical context in archives - Planning Trinity Console v2 Task Module for non-technical interface SOFT LAUNCH REALITY CHECK: Based on Michael's input, soft launch is blocked by: 1. Ghost homepage (2-3h) - content ready 2. Legal pages (1-2h) - Terms/Privacy 3. Unsubscribe flow (2-3h) - cancellation UI 4. End-to-end test (2-3h) - workflow verification Total: 8-11 hours of focused work Target: April 15, 2026 (14 days) Social campaign starts: April 2, 2026 (TOMORROW) GITEA CLEANUP: - Closed 50 open issues (all had been abandoned) - Each issue received migration notice comment - All preserved in gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md - Issues feature will be disabled (Kanban decommissioned) NEXT STEPS: - Update DOCUMENT-INDEX.md to reference new files - Plan Trinity Console v2 Task Module (Gemini consultation) - Start on actual soft launch blockers FILES ADDED: - BLOCKERS.md (74 lines) - BACKLOG.md (227 lines) - docs/archive/gitea-issues-archive-2026-04-01.md (50 issues archived) - docs/archive/tasks-historical-march-30-2026.md (3151 lines preserved) FILES MODIFIED: - docs/core/tasks.md (replaced with redirect notice) IMPACT: - Clean foundation for tracking work - Historical context fully preserved - Ready for non-technical task interface (Trinity Console v2) - Clear path to April 15 soft launch Signed-off-by: Claude (Chronicler #54) <claude@firefrostgaming.com>
