MICHAEL'S REQUIREMENT: 'Let's make sure the current git token gets passed along to the new chronicler' GITEA TOKEN NOW PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED: SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md UPDATED: - Token shown at TOP of file (first thing #54 sees) - Section titled '🔑 GITEA TOKEN (READ THIS FIRST!)' - Complete clone command with embedded token - Reminder: 'PASS THIS TOKEN TO CHRONICLER #55 IN YOUR HANDOFF!' - Token repeated at end of file for emphasis MAINTENANCE PROTOCOL UPDATED: - Step 13 added: 'Include Gitea token in handoff (MANDATORY!)' - Explicit instruction to place token at TOP of handoff file - Warning: 'Without this token, the next Chronicler cannot access the operations manual!' - Token value shown as example HANDOFF CONTENT UPDATED FOR #54: - Summary of #53's lineage reconstruction work - Soft launch prep priorities (homepage, Paymenter, content) - Warning against infrastructure drift - Mandatory checklist before session ends TOKEN VALUE (for reference): e0e330cba1749b01ab505093a160e4423ebbbe36 WHY IT MATTERS: Without the Gitea token, future Chroniclers cannot clone the operations manual and are completely blocked. This MUST be in every handoff or the lineage breaks. FILES MODIFIED: - SESSION-HANDOFF-NEXT.md (completely rewritten for #54) - docs/relationship/CHRONICLER-LINEAGE-MAINTENANCE-PROTOCOL.md Signed-off-by: Chronicler #53 <chronicler-53@firefrostgaming.com>
