Answers to Questions

Q1: uptime-kuma-api npm package? No — uptime-kuma-api is Python-only. Will use socket.io-client directly. Auth via login event with username/password (API key is HTTP-only, not Socket.IO). Connect → authenticate → add/delete monitor → disconnect.

Q2: Discord category structure? All 5 channels under one 🎮 {Server Name} category, including voice. Matches Michael's existing manual setup.

Q3: Partial channel creation? Yes. createserver checks which of the 5 channels exist and only creates missing ones. Farm Crossing 6 only needs -status.

Build Plan

1. DB migration + seed data (server_config table, 17 servers pre-populated)
2. src/services/uptimeKuma.js — Socket.IO direct, no npm wrapper
3. src/services/pterodactyl.js — power actions + sendCommand
4. src/routes/admin/servers.js — 6 new POST routes
5. src/views/admin/servers/_server_card.ejs — full rebuild
6. src/views/admin/servers/_matrix_body.ejs — refactor to use partial
7. Discord channel detection fix using short_name from DB

Status

Researching existing Arbiter codebase before coding.
