docs(audit): reconcile Phase 10 findings on Phase 9.5, Infisical, and website pricing

Browse Source 
Phase 9.5: reconfirmed no canonical commit exists (broader content search across full history —
still zero hits outside this session's own commits); Chase confirmed the real document lives on
PC #2, unpushed. Not duplicated here per Chase's explicit instruction — he owns bringing it to
canonical Gitea.

Infisical: Phase 10's 'project does not exist' finding was incomplete, not wrong about what it
checked — a proper org-scoped API enumeration (8 projects) still shows no RootNode Academy
project visible to the claude-code-migration machine identity, even though Chase confirms it
exists. Root cause narrowed to a missing per-project access grant (Infisical scopes identity
visibility per-project, separate from org membership) rather than the project not existing.
Corrected docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md and docs/PHASE10_CANONICAL_STATE_AUDIT.md accordingly,
with the exact one-step fix (grant the identity access via Project Settings -> Access) and the
identity id needed to do it. No duplicate project was created.

Website pricing: a read-only fetch of rootnodeacademy.com found stale founding-price RANGES that
don't match the exact fixed V1 prices Chase gave directly this phase; Chase confirmed the fixed
prices in this repo's docs are correct and current. Noted as a real discrepancy for his own
awareness, not something this repo's scope covers fixing.

Updated the Phase 10 launch matrix with a Category column (TECHNICAL READY / OWNER DECISION
REQUIRED / EXTERNAL BLOCKER / HARDWARE BLOCKER) distinguishing who needs to act on each
remaining gate. No application code changed — audit/documentation reconciliation only.

than a planned commit. **The founder-approved pricing itself ($399 launch / $449 standard,

do not match the exact fixed V1 prices Chase gave directly this phase. Chase confirmed the exact
fixed prices are the correct, current figures — **the live website has not yet been updated to
the real V1 pricing matrix.** This is the separate, not-RootNode-owned website repo; updating it
is outside this repo's scope, noted here only as a real discrepancy for Chase's own awareness.

1. **"Phase 9.5" has no canonical commit** — see §1.4. Not a blocker (the pricing decision was
usable directly), but flagged so it isn't assumed to exist in code review later.
2. **Chase's Phase 10 authorization states "Chase has ALREADY created RootNode Academy" as an
Infisical project** on `infisical.cedshomelab.com` — verified NOT present. The organization
("Ceds HomeLab") has exactly six existing projects (Core Infrastructure, Hermes Fleet,
Kubernetes, Media Platform, Monitoring, Network Service), none named RootNode Academy or
similar. See `docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md` §"Project status" for the full finding and what
Chase needs to do (create the project via the Infisical web dashboard — the CLI has no
non-interactive project-creation command).
1. **"Phase 9.5" has no canonical commit** — see §1.4, reconfirmed in Phase 10.1. Not a blocker
(the pricing decision was usable directly), and Chase confirmed the real document exists on
PC #2 — it just hasn't reached canonical Gitea yet. Not invented/duplicated here.
2. **Chase's Phase 10.1 authorization states RootNode Academy "ALREADY EXISTS" as an Infisical
project** on `infisical.cedshomelab.com`. Re-investigated in Phase 10.1 with a proper
org-scoped API enumeration (`GET /api/v2/organizations/{orgId}/workspaces`, not just the
CLI's interactive picker, which turned out to be incomplete — it showed 6 projects in Phase
10, the API shows 8 for the same identity). **Still no project named "RootNode Academy" (or
similar) is visible to this machine identity** even with the more complete method — the
full, real list is: Core Infrastructure, Kubernetes, Media Platform, Monitoring, Network
Service, Privileged Access Manager, Storage, Synthos Systems. **Root cause is now narrowed,
not fully resolved**: this machine identity's own project list only shows projects it has
been explicitly granted access to (standard Infisical per-project ACL, separate from org
membership) — so the most likely explanation is that "RootNode Academy" exists but this
identity was never added to it, not that it doesn't exist. This cannot be distinguished from
here without either org-owner-level API access or the web dashboard, neither available to
this session. **No duplicate project was created.** See `docs/SECRETS_AND_INFISICAL.md` for
the exact one-line fix (grant the `claude-code-migration` identity access to the existing
project via its Project Settings → Access page).
3. **No dedicated production server/Proxmox VM has been provisioned** — `infra/terraform/` has
no `terraform.tfvars` (only `.example`) and no state file; `infra/ansible/group_vars/

they need entirely different people to resolve them: **TECHNICAL READY** (code/infra is done,
nothing left to build), **OWNER DECISION REQUIRED** (Chase has to decide something, no code
involved), **EXTERNAL BLOCKER** (a third party — Stripe, an attorney, a landlord — has to act or
verify something), **HARDWARE BLOCKER** (specifically the missing production server, since it
gates so many other rows).

**No "RootNode Academy" project exists yet** in that organization — verified via `infisical
init`'s own project picker, which lists exactly six existing projects: Core Infrastructure,
Hermes Fleet, Kubernetes, Media Platform, Monitoring, Network Service. This contradicts Phase
10's own authorization text ("Chase has ALREADY created RootNode Academy"). The Infisical CLI
has no non-interactive project-creation command — creating one requires the web dashboard
(`https://infisical.cedshomelab.com`), which this session cannot reach (no browser).
**Update, Phase 10.1**: Chase confirmed a "RootNode Academy" project already exists on this
instance. Re-investigated with a proper API call rather than trusting the CLI's interactive
picker alone — `GET /api/v2/organizations/{orgId}/workspaces` (the same authenticated identity,
a direct, complete enumeration, not a scrollable TUI) returns **8** projects visible to this
identity: Core Infrastructure, Kubernetes, Media Platform, Monitoring, Network Service,
Privileged Access Manager, Storage, Synthos Systems. (Two more than Phase 10's original 6-project
CLI capture, and with different membership — the CLI capture was evidently incomplete, not just
under-scrolled; "Hermes Fleet," which appeared in the CLI list, doesn't appear in this
authoritative API list at all.) **Still no "RootNode Academy" entry, under this identity.**
**Owner action required:** create a "RootNode Academy" project in the Infisical dashboard, with
three environments (**Development**, **Staging**, **Production** — matching this document's own
categorization below), and tell this session (or a future one) its project id so the secret
inventory below can actually be pushed. Until then, every secret continues to live only in local,
gitignored `.env` files (development) or has no home at all (staging/production don't exist yet
— see `docs/PHASE10_PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md`).
**Root cause, narrowed**: an identity's own workspace list in Infisical reflects only the
projects it has been explicitly granted access to (a per-project ACL, separate from org
membership) — an org owner's dashboard view would show every project in the org regardless of
any one identity's grants. The most likely explanation is that the project exists, created by
Chase, but the `claude-code-migration` machine identity was never added to its access list —
not that the project doesn't exist. This session cannot tell the two apart without either
org-owner API scope or the web dashboard, neither available here. **No duplicate project was
created**, per Phase 10.1's explicit instruction.
**Owner action required — the fix, precisely:** in the Infisical dashboard
(`https://infisical.cedshomelab.com`), open the RootNode Academy project → **Project Settings →
Access → Machine Identities**, and add `claude-code-migration` (identity id
`f3b42de1-11b6-4aa1-8f2e-7b85accec5fb`) with read/write access to whichever environments should
be automatable. Once granted, a future session can list/read/write its secrets directly — no
further CLI/API workaround needed. Until then, every secret continues to live only in local,
gitignored `.env` files (development) — see `docs/PHASE10_PRODUCTION_DEPLOYMENT.md` for
staging/production status.
