Aftermath — A throwaway test run rewrote our live database

Aftermath

Monitoring. The repair is landed and measured on a bench. No feature run has gone through it yet.

Reopen if the first real run’s log does not name a piv-db-<id> container, or the harvest step at the end prints no removal line. Either means a run found a different database than the one we gave it.

Receipt, when resolved. The first real run’s run-db output naming its container, and the harvest’s removed line.

What stays manual. The second workstation (a Mac) still needs the hosts entry and the container runtime.

The rule that changed. A run’s gate exports its own database before it runs anything. An env file in a checkout never reaches a gate.

Next read. The same lesson with money instead of data: the $5 video bill a pricing API said was $1.86. And the workshop step on holding a dangerous call and asking, which is the second net above.
