The builder adds it, including APP_RUNTIME_PASSWORD. ## Parent #205 ## Agent Brief Category: bug Summary: Add a read-only script that lists every master product whose catalog photo is missing from R2, run it against the dev database, and paste the list in the PR.

Verified on origin/main 6983701 and the dev Neon branch from .env.local on 2026-11-03. Current behavior (verified): - MasterProduct.imageUrl (master_products.image_url) holds either /api/catalog-image/catalog/ or nothing. In dev, 171 of 562 rows have a route URL (167 active, 4 rejected), and none carries a query string or another URL shape. - A read-only probe (HeadObject per key) found 58 of the 171 keys missing in R2, catalog/biltong.jpg among them.

All 58 were clean 404s, with no 403s or other errors. Every missing name sorts A-K, which suggests an interrupted upload batch. - 15 of the missing rows are "Fluted Pumpkin Leaves" pointing at catalog/storefront-test.jpg.

They leaked from interrupted runs of src/lib/storefront/service.test.ts against the dev database, and 28 listings link to them. - The catalog-image route returns 404 both for a missing key and for any R2 error, a missing R2_BUCKET, or a key that fails its allowed-key rule (catalog/ .(jpg|png|svg|webp)). So route status alone cannot tell a missing photo from an outage. - storefrontPhoto accepts keys containing . in the name ([a-zA-Z0-9._-]) but the route does not.

Such a key renders as a broken photo even when the object exists. - master_products has RLS: app_user may SELECT every row, and writes need app.is_platform_admin = 'true'. platform.masterProduct (in src/lib/db.ts) runs as app_user without that flag, so it can read but not write. - Listing has no image column. Photos come only from the master product or the /images/products/ cutout map. Decisions taken during triage (owner away): 1.

The source of truth is R2 HeadObject on each distinct key, not the HTTP route, so no running server is needed and an outage is never reported as a missing photo. 2. Read master products only through platform.masterProduct (runtime role, no platform-admin flag), so the database itself enforces read-only. Never use platformAdmin, DIRECT_URL, or the owner role. 3. Scope is master products only.

Categories (Wikimedia URLs or cutouts, none in R2), store banners and store collections are not checked. Behavior to build: - The command is run with .env.local loaded, the same way existing scripts load env (dotenv -e .env.local -- tsx …).

It is read-only. - Every master product with an imageUrl is classified as one of: - ok: the key exists. - missing: R2 returns 404 / NotFound. - invalid-key: the URL resolves to a catalog key that the route would refuse. - not-r2: a /images/products/ cutout, another remote URL, or R2_PUBLIC_URL-based URLs when that var is set.

Resolve R2 URLs with the same rules as storefrontPhoto, including the https scheme /catalog/ . - Each distinct key is checked once, with bounded concurrency (8 or fewer). - Output is sorted by name then id. Each line has status, name, id, key and reason, followed by counts per class. - Exit 0 when the check completed, whether or not photos are missing.

Exit non-zero, without printing a partial list as if complete, on: a missing env key, a DB error, or any R2 response other than 200 or 404 (403, 5xx, throttling, network). Name the failing key or reason. Key interfaces: - A pure core function. It takes { products: { id, name, status, imageUrl }[], headObject: (key) => Promise } (throwing on any other outcome) and returns the classified rows plus counts.

The CLI wraps it with platform.masterProduct.findMany and an S3 HeadObjectCommand adapter built like getR2Client(). Seams: - Core function: unit tests with a fake headObject. - DB read: an integration test against the real lane database. It seeds master products with platform-admin access, then reads them back through the script's reader (platform.masterProduct).

Through that same reader, a create must fail and an update must change 0 rows, which proves the reader cannot write. - R2: faked at the headObject boundary in tests. The real R2 run is manual, against the dev branch; its output goes in the PR. - Store-owned tables: none are read or written. master_products is platform-shared (no store_id), so no storeScoped() cross-store test applies.

Add a test that the reader uses only platform.masterProduct, so nobody later adds a listings join without RLS review. - Auth paths: none touched. Acceptance criteria: - [ ] Given products whose keys are present, missing, malformed (catalog/a.b.jpg, `ca
