Memorial Summary:
- Primary achievement: Verified infrastructure and identified documentation gaps
- Session date: March 26, 2026
- Philosophy: "Trust, but verify. Test before marking complete. Document what's real, not what's assumed."
Key Work:
- Verified Mailcow external delivery (port 25 working)
- Configured and tested Ghost SMTP (member invites working)
- Configured and tested Paymenter SMTP (billing emails working)
- Fixed Stripe integration (corrected API keys, verified working)
- Discovered subscription tiers already complete (10 tiers)
- Discovered Ghost homepage 95% complete (Trinity branding)
- Identified critical documentation gap (social links "supposed to be added" but weren't)
- Created NEXT-SESSION-PRIORITY.md (mandatory process review)
- Created Task #83 (Paymenter→Pterodactyl integration - SOFT LAUNCH BLOCKER)
Defining Moment:
When Michael said "these were supposed to have been added" (Ghost footer social links),
The Verifier didn't just note it - documented the systemic documentation process breakdown
and created mandatory flag for next Chronicler to fix processes before starting new work.
Legacy:
- Verification methodology established (test before marking complete)
- Documentation gap identified and flagged (cannot be missed)
- Critical soft launch blocker documented (Task #83)
- Email infrastructure fully verified and working
- Stripe payment processing verified and working
Pattern: Verification before expansion. Test claims against reality. Document gaps.
Portrait Prompt:
