## [1.0.0] - 2026-02-08
### Repository Reorganization
**Transferred Repository Ownership:**
- **From:** `mkrause612/firefrost-phase0-configs`
- **To:** `firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual`
- **Organization Created:** `firefrost-gaming` (brand-aligned structure)
- **Reason:** Repository now contains comprehensive operations documentation beyond Phase 0 scope
**Repository Renamed:**
- **Old Name:** `firefrost-phase0-configs` (narrow, phase-specific)
- **New Name:** `firefrost-operations-manual` (descriptive, scalable)
- **Reason:** Repository is the authoritative operational manual for entire Firefrost infrastructure
**Local Git Remote Updated:**
- All contributors must update remote URL:
```bash
git remote set-url origin https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-operations-manual.git
```

### Established - Core Systems
**Fire + Frost Competitive Model:**
- Dual-path subscription system (Gingerfury vs Frostystyle recruitment competition)
- Path-exclusive Discord channels and community spaces
- Identical mechanical perks, different social/identity experience
- Founder tier (Sovereign $499 lifetime) accesses BOTH paths
**Subscription Tier Progression:**
1. **Wanderer** (Free) - Discord browsing only, no server access
2. **The Awakened** ($1 one-time) - Whitelist on all servers, 1 home, 0 chunks
3. **Elemental** ($5/month) - Choose Fire OR Frost, 5 homes, 25 chunks, /rtp 60min
4. **Knight** ($10/month) - 10 homes, 49 chunks, 4 force-load, /rtp 30min
5. **Master** ($15/month) - 20 homes, 100 chunks, 9 force-load, /rtp 15min
6. **Legend** ($20/month) - 35 homes, 121 chunks, 16 force-load, /rtp 10min
7. **Sovereign** ($499 lifetime) - 50 homes, 225 chunks, 81 force-load, unlimited /rtp, BOTH paths
**Multi-Game Vision:**
- Primary: Minecraft (13+ servers across NC1 Charlotte, TX1 Dallas)
- Secondary: Hytale (1 server, awaiting game release)
- Secondary: FoundryVTT (separate GM addon system, 14-day grace / 30-day download lifecycle)
- Future: Additional community-requested games
**Security Protocol:**
- $1 "Handshake" gateway: bot/troll deterrent, financial accountability, psychological investment
- **NOT** age verification (separate legal-compliant system required for 18+ content)
- Permanent bans tied to payment identity (Stripe customer ID)
