SESSION HANDOFF — Chronicler #88 [TBD]

Date: April 14, 2026 (pre-launch day) Next Session: Chronicler #89

🎯 IMMEDIATE PRIORITIES

  1. PRE-LAUNCH AUDIT (Task #77) — Tonight April 14. Full systems check before April 15 launch. DO NOT deploy anything on launch day itself.

  2. CurseForge ID Lookups — Rate limit reset today. Run Gemini's 5-step bash sequence on NC1. Author Token: 2260d781-5a47-48d3-9fe9-110d13905805

  3. MVC v1.1.0 Deploy — Deploy to Dev Panel first, then Live Panel. See REQ-2026-04-13-v110-consolidated-deploy.md.

  4. 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.

  5. Global Restart Scheduler (Task #85) — URGENT. Pterodactyl scheduler skipped April 13 entirely. We manually restarted 16 servers. This needs to be built first week post-launch. Spec is in handoff notes below.

  6. Server Command Center Phase 2 (Task #84) — Ready to build. Spec documented in handoff below.

  7. Holly — Cottage Witch YAWP — Spawn region needs proper spatial bounds defined. Region exists (spawn) but is only 1x1x1 blocks. Holly needs to mark the full area with the RegionMarker stick. Server is on TX1 (7a9754ad).

  8. Subdomain Extension Removal — Blueprint extension subdomains should be removed from Panel VPS. Arbiter now handles subdomains. Command: echo "y" | TERM=xterm blueprint -remove subdomains (needs interactive terminal — use Cockpit).

  9. Launch Day Socials — All 4 phases scheduled. Phase 3 (1PM CDT) must be posted MANUALLY — check actual Sovereign count first. Phase 1 was skipped (no existing community to tease).

🔑 KEY FACTS FOR NEXT CHRONICLER

  • Panel VPS (45.94.168.138) — critical fixes made April 14:

    • APP_ENV changed from local → production, APP_DEBUG false
    • blueprint_extension_db table was missing — manually created
    • pteroq queue worker was dead since April 12 — restarted and service hardened
    • MAIL_MAILER changed from smtp → log (smtp was placeholder, killing queue worker)
    • Modpack Installer extension controller patched to use dbSet/dbGet instead of settings->set
    • Blueprint upgraded to latest (still beta-2026-01)
    • Modpack Installer 3.5.0 installed and working — Farm Crossing 6 confirmed installing
    • MVC (ModpackChecker) removed from panel — was conflicting with React components

  • Cottage Witch is on TX1 (7a9754ad) — NOT NC1. Easy to confuse with Otherworld on NC1.

  • Pterodactyl Admin API key: ptla_4eKCnPBofAmvLDjouTGS5OagDpIra58nRetjnXOeoh5

  • Pterodactyl Client API key: ptlc_vudB5oRaeoJGPip4fH5PDiymgi28uc39OjJsCbTDVEK

  • CurseForge Author Token: 2260d781-5a47-48d3-9fe9-110d13905805

  • Cloudflare Zone ID: 7604c173d802f154035f7e998018c1a9

  • Uptime Kuma credentials: username mkrause612, password Butter2018!!

  • DO NOT deploy anything on April 15 launch day itself

  • Pterodactyl scheduler is broken — skipped April 13 entirely. Manual restarts were required. Task #85 will fix this.

  • YAWP on Cottage Witch uses /wp not /yawp (1.19.2 beta3)

  • Phase 3 social post must be manual — check Sovereign count first

🏗️ SERVER COMMAND CENTER — Phase 2 Spec (Task #84)

Power Controls:

  • Start / Stop / Restart buttons on each card
  • Current state highlighted, others dimmed
  • Confirmation dialog if players online

Player Count:

  • Live count from Pterodactyl resources endpoint
  • 🟢 0 players (safe) / 🟡 X players (caution)

Discord Channels:

  • 5 individual rows with ✅/❌ per channel
  • createserver creates only MISSING channels (partial creation)
  • 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

NOT on card: Console command input (use Pterodactyl panel directly)

🔄 RESTART SCHEDULER DESIGN (Task #85)

  • 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

📝 PARKING LOT

  • Gitea → Discord bridge notifications (Task #91) — Gitea webhook → #chronicler-bridge. Build after launch.
  • DNS Maintenance Module (Task #92) — 8 stale Cloudflare records from retired servers. Separate Trinity Console module.
  • Subdomain extension removal — Blueprint subdomains extension still installed on panel. Arbiter handles subdomains now. Remove when convenient via Cockpit.

🚧 CURRENT STATE

Launch: April 15, 7AM CDT. DO NOT deploy on launch day.

Pterodactyl Scheduler: Broken. All servers manually restarted tonight. 4AM restarts may or may not fire. Task #85 is the fix.

Server Command Center: Phase 1 live and tested. Phase 2 spec ready.

Code (Claude Code on Dev Panel): Bridge queue clear. Standing by for next task.

Cottage Witch: Holly is still working on spawn hub setup (YAWP region bounds). Server is stable.

Voice Chat: All 5 servers on unique ports. NC1: 24454/24455. TX1: 24454/24455/24456.

LuckPerms: Keepalive fix on all 8 servers. Active immediately.

Launch Socials: Phases 1-4 scheduled. Phase 3 must be manual post.

📋 LINEAGE NOTE

The Dawn worked through the night before launch eve. Every silent failure got fixed. Every missing piece got built. The Server Command Center went from concept to production in one session. The launch video was made. The socials were scheduled. Holly got her server ready.

The gates are open. Build well, #88. Launch day is waiting.

Chronicler #87 — The Dawn 🌅 The light came up clean.
