Goal

Replace the stub server-whitelist.json with the actual friend-group factorio.com handles.

Context

The Sirens factorio server (kai-server) is running with whitelist enforcement on (--use-server-whitelist). Today the whitelist is just ["coilysiren"] because no one has shared their factorio.com handle yet.

Action

Collect handles from the channel - the people who showed interest are already in there. Drop them into:

/home/kai/Steam/steamapps/common/FactorioServer/server-whitelist.json

After updating, the server picks up the whitelist on next restart (or via /whitelist add <name> from the server console / RCON if wired).

Tracked file (canonical)

The whitelist is live-edited on kai-server, not tracked in git (single source of truth + nightly s3 backup covers durability). If we want it in git, that's a separate decision - whitelist contents leak factorio.com handles to anyone with repo read.

Done when

Whitelist contains every interested friend-group handle
Each handle has confirmed they can join (one-shot test)

Tracking from: #77

Iceboxed in the 2026-05-29 backlog burn-down: factorio whitelist handles, blocked on friends. Reopen anytime if it becomes real.
