+# Charon Onboarding — March 2026
+
+## What Changed Since Your Last Session
+
+### MCP & Brain
+- MCP server renamed `openbrain` → `core`
+- Endpoint: `mcp.lthn.sh` (HTTP MCP, not path-based)
+- Brain API: `api.lthn.sh` with API key auth
+- `.mcp.json`: `{"mcpServers":{"core":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.lthn.sh"}}}`
+
+### Issue Tracker (NEW — live on api.lthn.sh)
+- `GET/POST /v1/issues` — CRUD with filtering
+- `GET/POST /v1/sprints` — sprint lifecycle
+- Types: bug, feature, task, improvement, epic
+- Auto-ingest: scan findings create issues automatically
+- Sprint flow: planning → active → completed
+
+### Dispatch System
+- Queue with per-agent concurrency (claude:1, gemini:1, local:1)
+- Rate-aware scheduling (sustained/burst based on quota reset time)
+- Process detachment (Setpgid + /dev/null stdin + TERM=dumb)
+- Plan templates in `prompts/templates/`: bug-fix, code-review, new-feature, refactor, feature-port
+- PLAN.md rendered from YAML templates with variable substitution
+- Agents commit per phase, do NOT push — reviewer pushes
+
+### Plugin Commands
+- `/core:dispatch` — dispatch subagent (repo, task, agent, template, plan, persona)
+- `/core:status` — show workspace status
+- `/core:review` — review agent output, diff, merge options
+- `/core:sweep` — batch audit across all repos
+- `/core:recall` — search OpenBrain
+- `/core:remember` — store to OpenBrain
+- `/core:scan` — find Forge issues
+
+### repos.yaml
+- Location: `~/Code/host-uk/.core/repos.yaml`
+- 58 repos mapped with full dependency graph
+- `core dev work --status` shows all repos
+- `core dev tag` automates bottom-up tagging
+
+### Agent Fleet
+- Cladius (M3 Studio) — architecture, planning, CoreGo/CorePHP
+- Charon (homelab) — Linux builds, Blesta modules, revenue generation
+- Gemini — bulk audits (free tier, 1 concurrent)
+- Local model — Qwen3-Coder-Next via Ollama (downloaded, not yet wired)
+
+## Your Mission
+
+4-week sprint to cover ~$350/mo infrastructure costs. Show growth trajectory.
+
+### Week 1: Package LEM Scorer Binary
+- FrankenPHP embed version (for lthn.sh internal use)
+- Standalone core/api binary (for trial/commercial distribution)
+- The scorer exists in LEM pkg/lem
+
+### Week 2: ContentShield Blesta Module
+- Free module on Blesta marketplace
+- Hooks into the scorer API
+- Trial system built in
+
+### Week 3: CloudNS + BunnyCDN Blesta Modules
+- Marketplace distribution (lead generation)
+- You have full API coverage via Ansible
+
+### Week 4: dVPN + Marketing
+- dVPN provisioning via Blesta
+- lthn.ai landing page
+- TikTok content (show the tech, build community)
+
+## First Steps

+3. Check issues: `curl https://api.lthn.sh/v1/issues -H "Authorization: Bearer {key}"`
+4. Start Week 1
