NEW: app/Services/ModpackApiService.php
- Centralized API logic for all 4 platforms
- Technic build number cached for 12 hours (RV-Ready)
- Single source of truth for API calls
Controller (ModpackAPIController.php):
- Now uses injected ModpackApiService instead of duplicated code
- Added RateLimiter: 2 requests/minute per server on manualCheck()
- Returns 429 with countdown when rate limited
- Removed 400+ lines of duplicated API code
Console Command (CheckModpackUpdates.php):
- FIXED: updateDatabase() now uses server_uuid (not server_id)
- FIXED: status column uses strings ('update_available', 'up_to_date', 'error')
- FIXED: Technic API now uses dynamic build via service
- Now uses injected ModpackApiService
SECURITY:
- Rate limiting prevents API key abuse via button spam
- Technic build caching reduces external API calls

BUG: Was using server_id (column doesn't exist) instead of server_uuid
BUG: Was using update_available (column doesn't exist) instead of status
FIXED:
- Changed whereIn('server_id', $serverIds) to whereIn('server_uuid', $serverUuids)
- Changed pluck('id') to pluck('uuid')
- Changed (bool) $status->update_available to $status->status === 'update_available'
This fix makes the dashboard badge API actually work!

ROOT CAUSE (Gemini consultation):
Technic blocks requests with old/deprecated build numbers. The hardcoded
'?build=1' was being rejected as an ancient launcher version.
SOLUTION:
- Fetch current stable launcher build from /launcher/version/stable4
- Use that build number in the modpack request
- Fallback to 999 if version check fails
This 'RV-Ready' approach requires zero maintenance as Technic updates
their launcher versions over time.
ALL 4 PLATFORMS NOW WORKING:

BREAKING CHANGES - folder structure reorganized:
OLD STRUCTURE (broken):
Controllers/ModpackAPIController.php
console/CheckModpackUpdates.php
NEW STRUCTURE (working):
app/Http/Controllers/ModpackAPIController.php
app/Console/Commands/CheckModpackUpdates.php
CHANGES:
1. Moved controller to app/Http/Controllers/
- Namespace changed: Pterodactyl\Http\Controllers
- This aligns with Laravel's PSR-4 autoloading
- Blueprint's requests.app field merges into Pterodactyl's app/
2. Moved console command to app/Console/Commands/
- Now properly registered with Laravel's command system
- Run with: php artisan modpackchecker:check
3. Updated conf.yml:
- Set requests.app: 'app' (enables app/ folder merging)
- Cleared data.directory (was pointing to non-existent folder)
- Cleared dashboard.wrapper (TSX not supported, use build.sh)
4. Updated routes/client.php:
- Fixed use statement to match new namespace
TESTED AND VERIFIED:
- blueprint -build: SUCCESS
- yarn build:production: SUCCESS
- php artisan modpackchecker:check: SUCCESS
- API tests passed: Modrinth ✅, FTB ✅, CurseForge ✅
- Technic API now requires auth (needs investigation)

Added professional-grade documentation throughout the codebase so any
developer can pick up this project and understand it immediately.
PHILOSOPHY:
'Hand someone the repo and say: here's what we built, here's WHY we built
it this way, here's where it's going. Make it better.' — Michael
NEW FILES:
- blueprint-extension/README.md
- Complete developer onboarding guide (400+ lines)
- Architecture diagram showing cron → cache → badge flow
- Installation steps, configuration, usage
- API reference with example responses
- Troubleshooting guide
- Design decisions with rationale
ENHANCED DOCUMENTATION:
ModpackAPIController.php:
- 60-line file header explaining purpose, architecture, critical decisions
- Detailed docblocks on every method
- Explains WHY dashboard reads cache-only (rate limits)
- Documents all four platform APIs with links
- Example request/response for each endpoint
CheckModpackUpdates.php:
- 50-line file header with usage examples
- Recommended cron schedule
- Example console output
- Documents rate limiting strategy
- Explains relationship to dashboard badges
UpdateBadge.tsx:
- 50-line file header explaining the 'dumb badge' architecture
- Detailed comments on global cache pattern
- Documents the fetch-once deduplication strategy
- Explains render conditions and why each exists
- Brand color documentation (Fire/Frost)

WHAT A NEW DEVELOPER NOW KNOWS:
1. The 'why' behind every architectural decision
2. How the cron → cache → badge flow prevents rate limits
3. Which methods call external APIs vs read cache
4. How to add a new platform
5. How to troubleshoot common issues
6. The relationship between all components
This codebase is now ready to hand to a contractor with the words:
'This was made great. Make it awesome.'

Phase 5 Components (completing Pyrrhus's work):
NEW FILES:
- views/dashboard/UpdateBadge.tsx: Dashboard badge component
- Shows 🟢 (up to date) or 🟠 (update available) next to server names
- Global cache prevents multiple API calls on page load
- Reads from local database, never calls external APIs directly
- Fire (#FF6B35) and Frost (#4ECDC4) brand colors
- console/CheckModpackUpdates.php: Laravel cron command
- Run with: php artisan modpackchecker:check
- Loops through servers with MODPACK_PLATFORM variable
- Checks CurseForge, Modrinth, FTB, Technic APIs
- Rate limited (2s sleep between checks)
- Stores results in modpackchecker_servers table
UPDATED FILES:
- Controllers/ModpackAPIController.php:
- Added getStatus() method for dashboard badge endpoint
- Returns all user's servers' update status in single query
- Added DB facade import
- routes/client.php:
- Added GET /extensions/modpackchecker/status route
- build.sh:
- Complete rewrite for Phase 5
- Handles both console widget AND dashboard badge
- Auto-detects extension directory (dev vs extensions)
- Copies CheckModpackUpdates.php to app/Console/Commands/
- Injects UpdateBadge into ServerRow.tsx
- Clear status output and next-steps guide
Architecture (Gemini-approved):
CRON (hourly) → Database cache → Single API endpoint → React badge
Dashboard badge is 'dumb' - only reads from cache, never external APIs
Completing work started by Chronicler #62 (Pyrrhus).
UpdateBadge.tsx was lost in Blueprint corruption - reconstructed from
handoff notes and architecture documentation.

PHASE 3 COMPLETE - All systems operational on Dev Panel
Changes:
- Renamed controllers/ to Controllers/ (PSR-4 case sensitivity fix)
- Updated namespace to use capital C in Controllers
- Fixed getEggVariable() method to use correct Pterodactyl model structure
- Changed from whereHas('variable'...) to direct where('env_variable'...)
- Changed return from variable_value to server_value
- Updated routes/client.php with correct namespace
- Updated wrapper.tsx with correct API path (/api/client/extensions/...)
- Added build.sh for React component injection via sed
Tested and verified:
- Admin UI renders correctly
- Client panel loads without 500 error
- React component appears on server console page
- API call executes successfully
- Returns proper 'no modpack detected' message for unconfigured servers
Key learnings documented:
- Blueprint wrapper field is for Blade only, not TSX
- TSX components require build.sh + sed injection + yarn build
- PHP-FPM OPCache requires restart after adding new classes
- Controller namespace must match directory case exactly

- Migrated Modpack Version Checker code to services/modpack-version-checker/
- Created .env.example for Arbiter with all required environment variables
- Moved systemd service file to services/arbiter/deploy/
- Organized directory structure per Gemini monorepo recommendations
WHY:
- Consolidate all service code in one repository

2. Modpack Version Checker (Python CLI tool)
- Full source code from ops-manual docs/tasks/
- Written for Panel v1.11, needs Gemini review for v1.12

STILL TODO:
- Whitelist Manager - Pull from Billing VPS (38.68.14.188)
- Currently deployed and running
- Needs Panel v1.12 API compatibility fix (Task #86)
- Requires SSH access to pull code
NEXT STEPS:
- Gemini code review for Panel v1.12 API compatibility
- Create package.json for each service
- Test npm workspaces integration
- Deploy after verification
