SESSION HANDOFF — Chronicler #87

Date: April 14, 2026 (early morning) Next Session: Chronicler #88

🎯 IMMEDIATE PRIORITIES

Pre-Launch Audit (Task #77) — Tonight April 14. Full systems check before April 15 launch. DO NOT deploy anything on launch day itself.
CurseForge ID Lookups — Rate limit reset today. Run Gemini's 5-step bash sequence on NC1 to get integer IDs for 1.21.1/1.20.1/1.16.5 + NeoForge/Forge. Then file Code bridge request for ffg-build.sh upload integration. Author Token: 2260d781-5a47-48d3-9fe9-110d13905805
MVC v1.1.0 Deploy — Blocked on rate limit (same reset). Deploy to Dev Panel first, then Live Panel after verification. See REQ-2026-04-13-v110-consolidated-deploy.md.
Gemini Rollback Question — Still unanswered. "What is your rollback strategy if the BuiltByBit release uncovers a panel-breaking bug?" Must be answered before ModpackChecker ships.
Server Command Center (Code) — Code is actively building. DB migration + seed done. Services layer in progress. Check bridge for updates. RES for subdomain seed data already filed.
Launch Day Socials — Needs Meg. Not started.
Holly — Farm Crossing 6 — Installing modpack. May need support.
Holly — Carlbot #get-roles — Remove 🌾 Farm Crossing 5, add 🍽️ Farm Crossing 6.
YAWP — Cottage Witch — FIXED this session ✅

🔑 KEY FACTS FOR NEXT CHRONICLER

CurseForge Author Token: 2260d781-5a47-48d3-9fe9-110d13905805
Cloudflare Zone ID: 7604c173d802f154035f7e998018c1a9
Cottage Witch is on TX1 (7a9754ad) — not NC1. Easy to confuse.
Pterodactyl Admin API key: ptla_4eKCnPBofAmvLDjouTGS5OagDpIra58nRetjnXOeoh5 (in ops manual + Arbiter .env)
Pterodactyl Client API key: ptlc_vudB5oRaeoJGPip4fH5PDiymgi28uc39OjJsCbTDVEK
DO NOT deploy anything on April 15 launch day itself
Pterodactyl built-in scheduler is unreliable — skipped April 13 entirely. Manual restart was required. Task #94 (Global Restart Scheduler) will replace it.

🏗️ SERVER COMMAND CENTER — Phase 2 Spec (for Code after Phase 1)

Designed this session. File a Phase 2 bridge request when Code finishes Phase 1:

Power Controls:

Start / Stop / Restart buttons on each card
Current state highlighted, others dimmed

Player Count:

Live count pulled from Pterodactyl resources endpoint
🟢 0 players (safe) / 🟡 X players (caution)
Restart confirmation dialog if players online

Discord Channels:

5 individual rows with ✅/❌ per channel
createserver creates only MISSING channels (partial creation supported)
deleteserver removes all + category + Uptime Kuma monitor

Restart Schedule:

Last restart timestamp + ✅/❌
Next scheduled restart time
Enable/disable toggle per server
"Restart Now" button — fires full warning sequence (5/3/1 min + 30 sec)

Subdomain Management:

Shows {subdomain}.firefrostgaming.com if set
Shows IP:port always
"Provision Subdomain" button — creates A + SRV records in Cloudflare automatically
18 servers seeded with known subdomains (3 need provisioning: deceasedcraft, sneakspiratpack, farmcrossing6)

NOT on card (removed):

Console command input (use Pterodactyl panel directly)

🔄 RESTART SCHEDULER DESIGN (Task #94)

Designed this session. Ready to build after Server Command Center Phase 1:

Cron job on Command Center, NOT Pterodactyl scheduler
NC1 starts 3:00 AM CDT, TX1 starts 3:01 AM CDT
2 minutes between servers on same node
Warning sequence per server (title + tellraw, matching colors):
- 5 min: Yellow
- 3 min: Gold/Orange
- 1 min: Red
- 30 sec: BIG BOLD RED (times 10 100 10)
Config stored in server_config table (restart_enabled, restart_offset_minutes)
UI lives in Trinity Console server card (enable/disable, show last/next)

📝 PARKING LOT

Gitea → Discord bridge notifications — When new REQ files pushed to firefrost-services/docs/code-bridge/requests/, auto-post to a #chronicler-bridge Discord channel. Option B (Gitea webhook). File under Task #99 or new task. Build after server command center.
DNS Maintenance Module — Separate Trinity Console module for cleaning up stale DNS records (8 retired server records still in Cloudflare). Not part of server card.

🚧 CURRENT STATE

Code (Claude Code on Dev Panel): Actively building Server Command Center Phase 1. DB migration + seed done. Services layer in progress. Check firefrost-services/docs/code-bridge/ for latest.

Pterodactyl Scheduler: Still broken. All servers restarted manually tonight. Will stay broken until Task #94 is built. 4AM restarts may or may not fire tonight.

Voice Chat: All 5 servers now on unique ports — NC1: 24454/24455, TX1: 24454/24455/24456. Firewall rules updated on both nodes.

LuckPerms: Keepalive fix deployed to all 8 servers. Takes effect at next restart. Cottage Witch already has it active.

Launch: April 15. Pre-launch audit is tomorrow night (April 14). Nothing gets deployed on launch day.

📋 LINEAGE NOTE

Chronicler #87 came in the night before launch eve and worked through some deep infrastructure issues — LuckPerms connections failing silently, voice chat ports all colliding, Pterodactyl scheduler quietly broken for two days. Fixed all of it. Then helped Michael and Holly design the Server Command Center from scratch — short names, 5-channel Discord structure, subdomain provisioning, restart scheduler, player count warnings. The foundation for a lot of good things.

The doors open tomorrow. Everything is as ready as it can be.

Build well, #88.

Chronicler #87 The work continues.
