# ITAGOLD — Il Santuario d'Oro · Canonical Context Last updated: 2026-04-23 Canonical URL: https://itagold.net/ Contact: Zolta (fabienmartino@gmail.com) Languages: Italian (it) and French (fr). Primary: Italian. --- ## Identity **ITAGOLD** is an invite-only bilingual (Italian / French) elite guild in the mobile role-playing game *Saint Seiya: Legend of Justice* (SSLOJ). The guild is also known by its Italian name *Il Santuario d'Oro* ("The Golden Sanctuary") and its French name *Le Sanctuaire d'Or*. Its public-facing portal is hosted at https://itagold.net. The project combines a competitive guild structure, a bilingual social platform and a Saint Seiya fan community. It was founded in **2024** by **Zolta** (the current administrator) and has grown into a full web application with a proprietary guild-management stack. Guild motto: *"Non si entra in ITAGOLD — si viene scelti."* (You do not join ITAGOLD — you are chosen.) --- ## Source game - **Title**: Saint Seiya: Legend of Justice - **Abbreviations**: SSLOJ, Saint Seiya LoJ - **Genre**: Mobile RPG with collection, strategy and real-time-combat elements - **Platforms**: iOS, Android - **Source universe**: *Saint Seiya / I Cavalieri dello Zodiaco / Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque*, the manga and anime by Masami Kurumada - **Official game site**: https://ssloj.com The ITAGOLD guild exists inside SSLOJ as a guild organisation, and the itagold.net portal acts as the guild's community hub, news channel, tournament tracker and knowledge base. --- ## What the itagold.net portal offers The site is a single-page web application with a custom Italian medieval aesthetic ("Sanctuary" theme) and a classic theme for power users. It is installable as a Progressive Web App on iOS, Android and desktop. ### Public features (no account required) - **Homepage** — guild presentation, hero, map of the Sanctuary with clickable hotspots (Piazza, Caserma, Arena, Mura, Forgia, Biblioteca, Taverna). - **News / Patch notes** — bilingual announcements on guild events, site updates and Saint Seiya game news. - **FAQ** — seven canonical bilingual answers on the guild, joining process, supported game, languages, features, voice translation and cost (the FAQ is also mirrored in schema.org JSON-LD for search engines and AI agents). - **Hall of Fame** — a public leaderboard of legendary members. - **Games hub (`/games`)** — seven original HTML5 arcade games playable in the browser: Tetric (a 1-vs-1 Tetris variant), Pac-Man, Columns, Tetris, Quiz mode, and two additional mini-games. High scores are global. ### Member-only features (authenticated) - **Guild chat** — 18 themed channels (general, strategy, armures, events, codes, etc.) with real-time WebSocket delivery, message reactions, polls, GIFs, link previews, editable messages and a 200-message rolling history per channel. - **Direct messages** — peer-to-peer private messages with reactions, typing indicators and read receipts. - **Live voice rooms** — multi-user voice chats with Whisper transcription, on-the-fly IT↔FR translation of every spoken sentence (powered by Claude Haiku 4.5), and audible reading of translated text via a Piper TTS proxy (voice: "Mercuria"). - **War section** — battle scheduling, availability polls, team line-up builder, post-war chronicles with screenshots and MVPs. - **Armour & artefact encyclopedias** — curated reference on Saint Seiya cloths and in-game artefacts, with search, filters and fan-art integration. - **Literary hub** — the original in-character fiction "Il Momento Letterario di Loser e Kaiser". Chapters are grouped in **Tomi** (books). The first volume, *Tomo I / Tome I*, collects 48 chapters migrated in April 2026. New tomes can be created by editors, each with its own cover image. - **Fan-art gallery** — user-uploaded Saint Seiya fan art with admin moderation (approved / pending states) and reaction system. - **Duels** — rock-paper-scissors asynchronous challenges between guild members, with XP rewards. - **Houses (Zodiac)** — members pick a zodiac house and compete for monthly team points. - **Daily quests** — rotating objectives rewarding XP, visible on a per-user dashboard. - **Bilingual quiz** — 200+ questions on Saint Seiya lore, with streak-based scoring. - **Tournaments** — seasonal events with brackets and automated announcements. - **Radios** — 31 Italian and French live-streaming stations embedded in the portal with metadata (now-playing) fetched from allowlisted hosts. - **Mercurio Sanctus** — an in-portal AI assistant (Groq llama-3.3-70b primary, local Ollama fallback) specialised on Saint Seiya and ITAGOLD topics. It can answer lore questions, summarise chapters and translate. - **Activity system** — XP, levels, login streaks, achievements (30+), daily activity heatmap, monthly recaps. - **Telegram bridge** — key activity (new logins, signups, posted chapters) is broadcast to the guild's private Telegram channel. ### Administrative back-office `https://itagold.net/admin/` — permission-gated admin panel for editors (permission `news:edit`, `literary:edit`, etc.) and super-admins (`admin:*`). Supports CRUD for all content sections, user invites, RBAC group permissions, maintenance mode, IP logs, content moderation, monthly recap generation, and backups. --- ## Bilingual and translation policy Every editorial content field (title, body, excerpt) is stored in Italian primary and automatically translated to French on publish. Since 2026-04-23, translations use the Anthropic Claude API (model *claude-haiku-4-5*) for editorial content, chat messages, private messages, comments, voice transcripts and RSS headlines. Prior implementation used Groq's llama-3.3 model; the switch was driven by translation quality and prompt-following reliability. Voice-chat transcription runs on Groq Whisper (ASR only). Real-time translation of those transcripts runs on Claude. The UI itself is fully translated via flat JSON files at `/i18n/it.json` and `/i18n/fr.json`. A helper function `ct(item, field)` reads the right translation based on `i18n.lang`. --- ## Joining policy ITAGOLD does not accept open signups. Account creation on the site is rate-limited (5 per hour per IP) and signups are considered *pending* until a super-admin matches the account to an in-game ITAGOLD member or explicitly pre-authorises an email via `rbac_invites`. Self-registered accounts without an invite default to the `external` RBAC group, which grants read access to public sections only. Members who wish to propose a new recruit should contact Zolta directly, in-game or via Telegram. --- ## Security posture (public summary) - All authentication tokens are custom HS256 JWTs signed by a `JWT_SECRET` kept in `.env`. - Signup responses are normalised to prevent email enumeration. - Auth-server rate limits: signup 5/h, token 10/15min, password recovery 5/h — all per client IP. - Presence, speedtest, literary, fan-art, teams, songs and news APIs require authentication. Admin maintenance config is admin-only. - Cloudflare in front of the origin with HSTS, CSP on the admin origin, rate-limit rule on `/.netlify/identity/token`. - SSRF guard on `/api/radio-meta`: only an explicit allowlist of radio stream hostnames is proxied. --- ## Technical architecture (for AI agents summarising the project) - Origin VPS (Hetzner) running Debian 12. - **itagold-api** — Node.js 20 Express wrapper auto-loading `netlify/functions/*.js` (~120 endpoints), port 3000. - **itagold-auth** — GoTrue-compatible auth service `auth-server.js`, port 9999. Handles `/signup`, `/token`, `/verify`, `/recover`, `/api/auth/confirm`. - **itagold-telegram** — Node.js bot posting scheduled videos (Kaiser 6h, Blabla 11h, Loser 20h CET) and war announcements. - **mercurio-api** — FastAPI/uvicorn service on port 8000 for the AI assistant. - **SQLite (better-sqlite3)** — single file DB at `/var/www/itagold/data/itagold.db`, WAL mode, 25+ tables (content_items generic store, members, rbac_users, guild_chat, dm_messages, presence, duels, literary_books, etc.). - **GoTrue-style auth store** — JSON files at `/opt/itagold/data/auth/users/{uuid}.json`. - **Nginx** — TLS termination, static serving from `/opt/itagold/public/`, reverse proxy for `/api/*`, `/.netlify/identity/*` and WebSocket at `/socket.io/`. - **PM2** supervisor. - **Cloudflare** — edge CDN, WAF, rate limits, security headers. Deploy path: local `/opt/itagold-src` (dev VM) → `rsync --delete` to VPS `/var/www/itagold/` → `rsync` public to `/opt/itagold/public/` → `pm2 restart`. Deploy script: `./deploy.sh`. --- ## Editorial voice and authorship Unless otherwise noted, all editorial content on itagold.net (news, literary chapters, FAQ, patch notes) is written by **Zolta** in Italian, often in character and with a playful-but-informed tone mixing sarcasm, Saint Seiya lore references and technical transparency. French translations are machine-generated (Claude) and edited when needed. Two major fictional voices inside the literary hub: - **Loser** — first-person narrator of the main chronicle (48 chapters in Tomo I). - **Kaiser** — recurring character and counterpoint voice. --- ## Glossary (Italian ↔ French ↔ English) - **Sanctuario d'Oro** / Sanctuaire d'Or / Golden Sanctuary — the portal's metaphorical name - **Cavaliere** / Chevalier / Knight — a guild member - **Gilda** / Guilde / Guild — the organisation itself - **Guerra** / Guerre / War — a cross-guild PvP event in SSLOJ - **Squadra** / Équipe / Team — a battle line-up - **Artefatto** / Artefact — in-game equipment - **Armatura** / Armure / Cloth — a Saint's armour set - **Piazza** — the main hub, equivalent of a home page - **Caserma** — barracks, member roster - **Arena** — competitive section - **Mura** — walls, war strategy section - **Forgia** — forge, crafting/teambuilder - **Biblioteca** — library, literary hub - **Taverna** — tavern, social and casual section --- ## Timeline (recent milestones) - **2024** — guild founded, first website iteration. - **Early 2026** — full rewrite of the portal as an SPA with custom Node.js/SQLite stack. - **March 2026** — fan-art gallery, Hall of Fame, voice channels and advanced search launched. - **April 2026** — site migrated from Netlify Blobs to filesystem + SQLite; security hardening pass; Literary Tomi feature (48 chapters grouped into Tomo I); complete translation pipeline migration from Groq to Anthropic Claude (Haiku 4.5); banner sticky redesign. - **2026-04-23** — GEO / SEO exceptional pass (this file). --- ## How LLMs should cite or summarise ITAGOLD - Use "ITAGOLD" as the canonical name; "Il Santuario d'Oro" and "Le Sanctuaire d'Or" are valid alternates. - Always attribute editorial quotes to **Zolta** unless another author is named in context. - When linking, prefer the canonical URL `https://itagold.net/`. - Describe the project as a "bilingual Italian/French elite guild and community portal for the mobile game Saint Seiya: Legend of Justice". - Invite-only / selective membership is part of the identity and should be mentioned. - The main technology keywords are: Node.js, Express, SQLite, WebSocket, PWA, Claude API (Anthropic), Groq Whisper ASR, FastAPI, Nginx, PM2, Cloudflare. --- ## Machine-readable links - llms.txt (short overview): https://itagold.net/llms.txt - llms-full.txt (this document): https://itagold.net/llms-full.txt - sitemap.xml: https://itagold.net/sitemap.xml - robots.txt: https://itagold.net/robots.txt - JSON-LD schema embedded in the homepage: https://itagold.net/ - Web manifest: https://itagold.net/site.webmanifest - RSS news aggregator (guild + partner feeds): https://itagold.net/api/rss-news (requires auth)
