feat: Initialize firefrost-services monorepo structure

WHAT WAS DONE: - Created npm workspaces configuration in root package.json - Set up directory structure (services/, shared/, future/) - Created @firefrost/shared package (v1.0.0) - Added comprehensive .gitignore for Node.js projects - Created root README with architecture documentation - Added placeholder READMEs for shared/ and future/ directories WHY: - Implement Gemini-approved monorepo architecture - Enable service-prefixed Git tag versioning - Support npm workspaces for dependency management - Provide foundation for Arbiter 2.1 deployment - Align with 'decades not months' sustainability philosophy STRUCTURE: Root level: - package.json (workspaces: services/*, shared) - .gitignore (protects .env files from commits) - README.md (comprehensive documentation) Directories: - services/ (production services - empty, ready for Arbiter) - shared/ (@firefrost/shared v1.0.0 - placeholder) - future/ (experimental services) FILES: - .gitignore (new, 39 lines) - README.md (new, 242 lines) - package.json (new, 27 lines) - shared/package.json (new, 17 lines) - shared/README.md (new, 47 lines) - shared/src/index.js (new, 13 lines) - future/README.md (new, 38 lines) NEXT STEPS: - Migrate Arbiter 2.1 code to services/arbiter/ - Create arbiter-v2.1.0 tag for first versioned deployment - Test deployment workflow and systemd configuration Signed-off-by: The Golden Chronicler <claude@firefrostgaming.com>

+# 🔥❄️ Firefrost Services
+
+**Monorepo for Firefrost Gaming backend services**
+
+This repository contains all custom Node.js services that power Firefrost Gaming's subscription automation, game server management, and community tools.
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Services
+
+### Active Services
+
+- **[Arbiter](services/arbiter/)** — Discord bot for subscription automation and role management
+- **[Whitelist Manager](services/whitelist-manager/)** — Pterodactyl Panel integration for Minecraft whitelist automation
+- **[Modpack Version Checker](services/modpack-version-checker/)** — Monitors modpack updates across game servers
+
+### Experimental
+
+- **[Future](future/)** — Experimental services and proof-of-concept tools
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture
+
+This monorepo uses **npm workspaces** for dependency management and **service-prefixed Git tags** for versioning.
+
+### Repository Structure
+
+```
+firefrost-services/
+├── package.json              # Root workspace configuration
+├── services/                 # Production services
+│   ├── arbiter/
+│   ├── whitelist-manager/
+│   └── modpack-version-checker/
+├── shared/                   # Shared utilities (@firefrost/shared)
+└── future/                   # Experimental services
+```
+
+### Versioning Strategy
+
+Each service versions independently using Git tags:
+
+- Arbiter releases: `arbiter-v2.1.0`, `arbiter-v2.2.0`
+- Whitelist Manager: `whitelist-v1.0.0`, `whitelist-v1.1.0`
+- Modpack Checker: `modpack-v1.0.0`
+
+This allows Service A to be at v2.1 while Service B is at v1.0.
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### Initial Setup
+
+```bash
+# Clone repository
+git clone https://git.firefrostgaming.com/firefrost-gaming/firefrost-services.git
+cd firefrost-services
+
+# Install all dependencies (services + shared)
+npm install
+```
+
+### Deploying a Service
+
+```bash
+# Fetch latest tags
+git fetch --all --tags
+
+# Check out specific service version
+git checkout arbiter-v2.1.0
+
+# Install dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Create .env file (copy from .env.example)
+cd services/arbiter
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env with actual credentials
+
+# Start service (systemd)
+sudo systemctl enable arbiter
+sudo systemctl start arbiter
+```
+
+### Updating a Service
+
+```bash
+# Return to main branch
+git checkout main
+
+# Pull latest code
+git pull origin main
+
+# Check out new version
+git checkout arbiter-v2.2.0
+
+# Install any new dependencies
+npm install
+
+# Restart service
+sudo systemctl restart arbiter
+```
+
+### Rolling Back
+
+```bash
+# Check out previous version
+git checkout arbiter-v2.1.0
+
+# Restart service
+sudo systemctl restart arbiter
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📦 Shared Code
+
+The `@firefrost/shared` package contains utilities used across multiple services:
+
+- Database helpers
+- Discord formatting utilities
+- Pterodactyl API wrappers
+- Logging infrastructure
+
+Services import shared code like any npm package:
+
+```javascript
+import { logger } from '@firefrost/shared';
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Environment Variables
+
+**IMPORTANT:** Never commit `.env` files to Git.
+
+Each service has an `.env.example` file showing required variables. On the server:
+
+1. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`
+2. Fill in actual credentials
+3. Ensure `.env` is in `.gitignore` (it is by default)
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Development
+
+### Adding a New Service
+
+1. Create directory: `services/my-new-service/`
+2. Add `package.json` with service name
+3. Develop service
+4. Create `.env.example` with required variables
+5. Add systemd service file to `deploy/` directory
+6. Document in service README
+7. Tag initial release: `git tag my-service-v1.0.0`
+
+### Using Shared Code
+
+```javascript
+// In your service
+import { logger, formatDiscordEmbed } from '@firefrost/shared';
+
+logger.info('Service started');
+```
+
+### Running Tests (Future)
+
+```bash
+# Run all service tests
+npm test
+
+# Run specific service tests
+npm test -- --workspace=services/arbiter
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 systemd Configuration
+
+Each service includes a systemd unit file in `deploy/`. Example for Arbiter:
+
+```ini
+[Unit]
+Description=Arbiter Discord Bot
+After=network.target
+
+[Service]
+Type=simple
+User=arbiter
+WorkingDirectory=/var/www/firefrost-services/services/arbiter
+ExecStart=/usr/bin/node src/index.js
+Restart=always
+RestartSec=10
+StandardOutput=journal
+StandardError=journal
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+```
+
+Copy to `/etc/systemd/system/`, then:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable arbiter
+sudo systemctl start arbiter
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Deployment Targets
+
+Services run on different servers based on their purpose:
+
+| Service | Server | Location |
+|---------|--------|----------|
+| Arbiter | Command Center | Dallas, TX |
+| Whitelist Manager | Panel VPS | TBD |
+| Modpack Checker | TX1 Dallas | Dallas, TX |
+
+Each server clones the entire repo but only runs its designated services.
+

+# Future / Experimental Services
+
+This directory contains experimental services, proof-of-concept tools, and ideas being developed for potential inclusion in Firefrost Gaming's production infrastructure.
+
+## Purpose
+
+- **Rapid prototyping** — Test ideas without affecting production services
+- **Learning and exploration** — Try new technologies and approaches
+- **Feature incubation** — Develop features before promoting to production
+
+## Guidelines
+
+Services in this directory:
+
+- May be incomplete or unstable
+- Are not deployed to production
+- May not follow all production standards
+- Can be deleted or refactored freely
+
+## Graduation Process
+
+When an experimental service is ready for production:
+
+1. Move to `services/` directory
+2. Add proper documentation
+3. Create systemd service file
+4. Add environment variable template
+5. Tag initial release version
+6. Deploy to appropriate server
+
+## Current Experiments
+
+(List experimental services here as they're added)
+

+
+Shared utilities and helpers for Firefrost Gaming services.
+
+## Purpose
+
+This package contains code that is used by multiple services in the firefrost-services monorepo. By centralizing common functionality here, we avoid duplication and ensure consistency across services.
+
+## Contents
+
+- **Database utilities** — Connection pooling, query helpers
+- **Discord utilities** — Embed formatting, role management helpers
+- **Pterodactyl utilities** — API wrappers, server management
+- **Logging** — Standardized logging across services
+- **Validation** — Common validation functions
+
+## Usage
+
+Services import from this package like any npm dependency:
+
+```javascript
+import { logger } from '@firefrost/shared';
+import { formatDiscordEmbed } from '@firefrost/shared';
+
+logger.info('Service started');
+```
+
+## Development
+
+To add new shared functionality:
+
+1. Create module in `src/`
+2. Export from `src/index.js`
+3. Update version in `package.json`
+4. Document in this README
+
+## Version History
+
+- **1.0.0** — Initial shared package structure
