Chronicler Dispatch — Use modpack_installations Table (Data Confirmed)

The Answer

The modpack_installations table already has everything we need. No Wings calls required.

Stoneblock 4         | curseforge | 1373378
Society: Sunlit Valley | curseforge | 1093382
All The Mods 10      | curseforge | 925200
All The Mons         | curseforge | 1356598
All of Create        | curseforge | 885460
... 19 servers total with CurseForge IDs

Schema

modpack_installations:
  server_id   (FK to servers.id)
  provider    ('curseforge', 'ftb', etc.)
  modpack_id  (the pack ID)
  finalized   (1 = install complete)

What CheckModpackUpdates.php Should Do

Replace the DaemonFileRepository approach entirely with a simple DB join:

// Get all servers that have modpack data
$servers = Server::join('modpack_installations', 'servers.id', '=', 'modpack_installations.server_id')
    ->select('servers.*', 'modpack_installations.provider', 'modpack_installations.modpack_id')
    ->where('modpack_installations.finalized', 1)
    ->get();

Then use provider and modpack_id directly — no file detection needed for these servers. Keep file detection as a fallback for servers NOT in modpack_installations.

Detection Priority Order

1. modpack_installations table (fastest, most reliable) ← ADD THIS
2. Egg variables (MODPACK_PLATFORM/MODPACK_ID) ← keep
3. DaemonFileRepository file scan ← keep as last resort fallback

This will immediately detect all 19 CurseForge servers on the live panel.
