Claude (The Golden Chronicler #50) 4efdd44691 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

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
