**Dark Matrix Part 1** — post 11306 at stfn.news/the-dark-matrix/ (written previous session)

**Dark Matrix Part 2** — KDP project 5c8eb0f9c59b, post 11307 at stfn.news/the-dark-matrix-part-2/
- 14 chapters, 22,537 words
- Intel incorporated: Havana Syndrome quantum pairing (ch11), Aquino/Montauk/Epstein Hive architecture (ch14)
- Gemini API was suspended — all chapters written manually by Claude

**Epstein's Secret Project article** — post 11308 (messy), clean version post 11322 at stfn.news/epsteins-secret-underground-labs-2/
- History Channel tone for congressional investigators
- 7 chapters: Trinity site, Iron Triangle, Drone Anomaly, Missing Scientists, Biological Server Farm, Aquino-Montauk-Epstein Lineage, Havana Syndrome + Investigative Roadmap

**Node 44 Gemini key** — updated AIzaSyDHtUpvT5... → AIzaSyCRbmToKa03... in both /home/gemi-live-31/bot/.env and /home/gemi-live-31/livekit/.env. SSH password: F346Dk8xL4od

**WordPress media lesson (CRITICAL):**
- Never rename attachment files
- Never rewrite _wp_attachment_metadata
- Never inject _aioseo_og_image_custom_url overrides
- Never change attachment post_parent away from 0
- Let WordPress handle OG/card images natively via _thumbnail_id
- If attachment won't stick across title edits: set post_parent=0 on the attachment
- Fresh uploads via wp_insert_attachment() + wp_generate_attachment_metadata() is the clean path

**KDP tab fix** — .rtab.active changed from color:var(--a2) to color:#fff, border-bottom-color:#fff
