When hourly sync encounters servers that fail (e.g., mid-restart):
- Logs the failure count
- Schedules automatic retry in 10 minutes
- Retry only targets previously failed servers
- Clears error state on successful retry
Fixes issue where servers in daily restart would stay in error state
until manual intervention.
Chronicler #69
- Queries server_sync_log for most recent successful sync
- Displays date (e.g., 'Apr 8') and time (e.g., '3:28 AM')
- Shows yellow dash with 'Never' if no syncs recorded
Chronicler #69
Added missing dependencies that were installed on server but not in repo:
- axios: ^1.14.0
- connect-pg-simple: ^10.0.0
- date-fns: ^4.1.0
This caused deploy script to fail with MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors.
Chronicler #69
The subscriptions table uses:
- tier_level (integer) not tier_id
- mrr_value (pre-calculated) not joined to subscription_tiers
- is_lifetime (boolean) not status='lifetime'
Chronicler #69
Dashboard was showing hardcoded values:
- Servers Online: 12 (should be 22)
- Active Subscribers: 0
- Total MRR: $0
Now fetches live data:
- Server count from Pterodactyl API via getMinecraftServers()
- Subscriber count and MRR from arbiter_db subscriptions table
Files changed:
- src/routes/admin/index.js: async dashboard route with data fetching
- src/views/admin/dashboard.ejs: EJS variables instead of hardcoded values
Chronicler #69
- Retrieved from Cloudflare dashboard via MCP connector
- Was 'dashboard only, not in any git repo' - gap now closed
- Original creation: April 3, 2026 by Chronicler #56 (The Velocity)
- Proxies Pterodactyl API for live server status on website
Chronicler #68
Disabled PRO fields don't submit values, causing validation error.
Now accepts null and defaults to 'daily' in update method.

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.

- 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

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

WHAT THIS ADDS:
- Discord role sync on new subscriptions (checkout.session.completed)
- Discord role removal on chargebacks (charge.dispute.created)
- Grace period expiration job (hourly cron check)
- Automatic downgrade to Awakened when grace period expires
NEW FILES:
- src/services/discordRoleSync.js - Role add/remove/sync functions
- src/sync/graceExpiration.js - Grace period expiration processor
MODIFIED FILES:

- src/discord/events.js - Initialize role sync service on bot ready
- src/sync/cron.js - Added grace period check to hourly job

PHILOSOPHY:
'We Don't Kick People Out' - expired grace periods downgrade to
permanent Awakened tier (tier 1, lifetime). Users keep community
access, just lose premium perks.
ROLE MAPPING (tier_level -> role key):
1=the-awakened, 2=fire-elemental, 3=frost-elemental,
4=fire-knight, 5=frost-knight, 6=fire-master, 7=frost-master,
8=fire-legend, 9=frost-legend, 10=the-sovereign

- Immediate role removal
- Added to banned_users table
- Full audit logging

WHAT WAS DONE:
- discovery.js: Added node field to server objects
- Maps Pterodactyl node ID 2 → NC1
- Maps Pterodactyl node ID 3 → TX1
- Also includes raw nodeId for debugging
- servers.js: Simplified grouping logic
- Removed fallback checks for 'Node 2', 'Node 3', name patterns
- Now uses clean s.node === 'TX1' / 'NC1' checks
THE BUG:
getMinecraftServers() was only returning identifier and name,
but the matrix filter was checking s.node which was undefined.
Servers were being grouped by name pattern fallback only.

ISSUE:
Admin modules (Players, Grace, Audit, Servers, Roles) were failing silently
HTMX endpoints returned 500 errors because required tables didn't exist
ROOT CAUSE (per Gemini):
Modules expect users table (Identity) separate from subscriptions (Billing)
- users: discord_id, minecraft_username, minecraft_uuid, is_staff
- admin_audit_log: audit trail for Trinity actions
- server_sync_log: Pterodactyl sync tracking
SOLUTION:
Created schema migration with 3 new tables
- Preserves Identity/Billing separation (critical for whitelist sync)
- Auto-syncs existing subscriptions to users table
- Pre-populates Trinity members as staff
DEPLOYMENT:
Run on Command Center:
cp services/arbiter-3.0/migrations/arbiter_schema_migration.sql /tmp/
bash services/arbiter-3.0/migrations/run-migration.sh
After migration, all 5 admin modules will work correctly.

ISSUE:
We accidentally built a flat admin.js that replaced the working modular system
All modules (Players, Servers, Grace, Audit, Roles, Financials) exist in /routes/admin/
FIX:
1. Backed up flat admin.js to admin-backup-chronicler57.js
2. Changed index.js to require('./routes/admin/index')
3. Restored proper modular structure
MODULES RESTORED:
- /admin/players - Full CRUD with detail view, tier changes, staff toggle
- /admin/servers - Server matrix with Pterodactyl integration
- /admin/grace - Grace period management
- /admin/audit - Audit log feed
- /admin/roles - Role diagnostics
- /admin/financials - Revenue analytics
ALL ORIGINAL FUNCTIONALITY RESTORED
