-### **7. Mod Management Architecture**
+### **7. Agent Phase 1 Feature Set**
-- **Status**: 📋 SPECIFIED
+- **Status**: ✅ COMPLETE (shipped Feb 21-22)
-- **Phase 1**: Curated store only (safe, vetted mods)
+- **Mod management**: GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE `/game/mods/*`
-- **Phase 2**: User uploads with scanning (ClamAV + VirusTotal)
+- **Process metrics**: `GET /metrics/process`
-- **Security**: Hash verification + container isolation

+## ✅ What Was Completed (February 22, 2026)
+
+### **8. NeoForge Artifact Support**
+- **Status**: ✅ COMPLETE (artifact tree expanded)
+- **Versions**: 1.21.1, 1.21.4, 1.21.11
+- **Contract**: `neoforge-installer.jar` normalized filename
+- **Rationale**: 1.21.1 has 16,000+ mods; dominant NeoForge ecosystem
+
+### **9. Artifact Resolver Strategy Decided**
+- **Status**: ✅ DECIDED
+- **Phase 1**: `zlh-artifactd` as Modrinth/NeoForge proxy — no local mod storage, no catalog maintenance
+- **Phase 2**: Caching layer based on real usage patterns
+- **Phase 3**: Full orchestrator (game jars + runtimes + mods unified)
+- **Rationale**: Single-operator sustainability; ship value at each stage
+
+### **10. Mod Platform Decision**
+- **Status**: ✅ DECIDED
+- **Primary source**: Modrinth API (`api.modrinth.com/v2`) — open, no key, hash provided, NeoForge filter support
+- **CurseForge**: Manual SFTP upload by user (hostile download flow, defer)
+- **Curated catalog**: Abandoned — Modrinth IS the catalog

+1. **zlh-api NOT IN GIT** - Still empty since Dec 28 — CRITICAL RISK
 2. **DNS Fix Unverified** - Can't check without API in git  
 3. **Frontend Customer ID** - Still hardcoding `u-dev-001`
 4. **Host Controls UI** - Backend ready, frontend not wired
-5. **Agent Mod Management** - Spec complete, implementation pending
+5. **Vanilla MC versions** - Need to add 1.21.8–1.21.11 (source: Mojang version manifest)

 ## 🚀 Active Development (This Week)
 
-### **Agent Work (GPT)**:
+### **API Work (GPT)**:
-- Implement `GET /game/mods` (mod detection)
+- Proxy agent mod endpoints behind auth/ownership:
-- Implement `POST /game/mods/install` (curated store)
+  - `GET/POST /api/game/servers/:vmid/mods`
-- Build Forge metadata parser
+  - `PATCH/DELETE /api/game/servers/:vmid/mods/:mod_id`
-- Add enable/disable/remove endpoints
+- Proxy process metrics: `GET /api/game/servers/:vmid/metrics/process`
+- Fix customer ID hardcoding (use `req.user.id`)
 
-### **Curated Mod Catalog**:
+### **Frontend (GPT)**:
-- Build artifact catalog structure
-- Add 20-30 popular mods
-- Set up hash verification manifest
-
-### **Frontend Polish**:
 - Wire host controls UI
-- Build mod browser interface
+- Build mod browser interface (list, enable/disable, remove, Modrinth install)
 - Fix customer ID hardcoding
 
+### **Artifacts (User)**:
+- Add vanilla 1.21.8–1.21.11 from Mojang manifest
+- Confirm NeoForge installer naming contract resolved
