Phase 1 begins by turning MineCave's website status system into a permanent, production-ready feature.
Development Mode
Development Mode keeps the existing Development Center available as the public homepage while the platform is being built. It displays the canonical roadmap, current progress, platform statistics, development history, articles, and release activity.
The completed Phase 0 page was preserved rather than redesigned. It now lives inside the permanent website-mode template area while its original route remains compatible.
Maintenance Mode
Maintenance Mode now has a complete branded service page instead of a temporary message. It clearly communicates that public access is paused, preserves visitor confidence, links directly to MineCave Discord, and automatically returns to normal when staff changes the website mode.
Live Mode
Live Mode now has its own public network homepage. It introduces MineCave Lifesteal, provides the server address, links to Discord, highlights the network's primary features, and displays the latest development articles.
Automatic Mode Routing
The root homepage reads the selected website mode and serves the correct page automatically:
Staff can preview all three pages independently before changing the active website mode.
Canonical Architecture Preserved
This update extends the existing controller, routes, dashboard, styles, and article registry. It does not create a second application, replace the router, or change the locked folder architecture or build number.
