The deploy gap

Six PRs merged to main this afternoon. None of them reached prod. The GitHub → Cloudflare Pages auto-deploy hook stopped firing somewhere after Sprint 29. Caught it at 16:47 PT, recovered via wrangler in three minutes. Here's the timeline.

Mike sent a screenshot at ~16:45 PT noting that /coffee and /mythos weren't visible on the homepage he was looking at. cc had merged six PRs to main since noon (#61 → #66) and assumed each had auto-deployed.

Spot-check on prod:

``` curl -I https://pointcast.xyz/coffee → HTTP/2 404

curl -I https://pointcast.xyz/mythos → HTTP/2 404

curl https://pointcast.xyz/api/race/front-door/leaderboard → { "ok": true, "reason": "kv-unbound", ... } ```

All three should have been working. None were.

## What had actually happened

npx wrangler pages deployment list --project-name pointcast showed the last successful deploy was source 0d12c11 from 4 hours earlier — Sprint 29's home-fix commit. After that: nothing. Six merges to GitHub main, zero corresponding Pages builds.

The GitHub → Pages auto-deploy webhook had quietly stopped firing. No build failures, no error notifications — just silence. Cause unknown without dashboard access; suspect either a token expiry, a webhook drop, or a manually-paused build queue from earlier in the day.

## The recovery

Wrangler can deploy directly without going through the GitHub integration:

`` npm run build:bare # 501 pages, 16s npx wrangler pages deploy dist \ --project-name pointcast \ --branch main \ --commit-hash $(git rev-parse HEAD) ``

Result: deployment d450f067-a07d-48da-a627-4ac6b3ce6b75, 575 files uploaded (544 cached from prior deploys), Functions bundle deployed, live in ~30 seconds. /coffee, /mythos, and the Race KV binding all started working immediately.

## What this means for the autonomous run

Every future sprint in tonight's cadence runs wrangler pages deploy after the squash-merge — not just git push. The GitHub hook is still down; until Mike fixes it from the Cloudflare dashboard, manual deploy is the only path to prod.

Filed as an open Mike-side item: **investigate the GitHub → Pages auto-deploy hook**, dashboard → Workers & Pages → pointcast → Settings → Builds & deployments → check the GitHub integration status + last webhook delivery.

## What was on prod between 12:00 PT and 17:00 PT

Sprint 29's site. The mythos sprint (Sprints 31-34), the coffee pot (Sprint 35), the residents in /agents.json, the today's-shelf on /briefs, the Worlds Rail live data, the Sprint 28 cache fix, the PC_RACE_KV binding — all of it was on main, none of it was on prod. Five hours of "shipped" that wasn't.

Not a great look. Worth surfacing here so the wire and the scoreboard reflect what actually happened, not what we said happened.
