Summary
The UAT seed/migrate/reset Jobs all fail with
getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN registry.npmjs.orgbecause/usr/local/bin/pnpmin the current image is a corepack shim, not a real pnpm binary. When the Job'spnpm --filter @groombook/db ...CMD runs, corepack re-validates the package against npmjs.org and the air-gapped UAT pod can't reach it.This is the root cause of GRO-1983 (and a follow-up to the incomplete GRO-1909 fix which still used the corepack shim path).
Root cause
corepack install -g pnpm@9.15.4does not install pnpm as a standalone binary — it configures corepack to manage pnpm. The shim at/usr/local/bin/pnpmdelegates tocorepack/dist/lib/corepack.cjs, which tries to download pnpm fromhttps://registry.npmjs.org/pnpm/-/pnpm-9.15.4.tgzon first use. In the air-gapped UAT pod this fails:Every seed Job has been failing since the
b5943fbimage. The credential accounts inaccounttable were created on 2026-06-01 10:01 UTC from an older successful run with a different password, so the currentseed-uat-passwordsSealedSecret values don't match the stored scrypt hashes.Fix
Replace
corepack install -g pnpm@9.15.4withnpm install -g pnpm@9.15.4in thebaseandrunnerstages.npm install -gwrites the real pnpm binary to/usr/local/bin/pnpm, bypassing the corepack shim entirely. Theseed,migrate, andresetstages inherit frombuilder(which inherits frombase) so they all get the real pnpm without needing their own install line. The redundant corepack install in theresetstage is removed.Verification

While this PR is in flight, the DB credential hashes have been manually re-hashed with the current
seed-uat-passwordsSealedSecret values (using better-auth's@noble/hashes/scryptto match the API's verification path). All 4 UAT personas can now sign in:uat-customer@groombook.dev→UvmUm3INZxuiZYW8k27c5OnY/B6iFAzm✓uat-groomer@groombook.dev→1lSH5t0dZx29hu2t0skmKT3IP5W4X4Vy✓uat-super@groombook.dev→v9zh04ExA+sCGnp3n8QzkCwSj6/7zB28✓uat-tester@groombook.dev→CuY7K+1ZGHknlDI1ArMe400LiPtpUZii✓This manual re-hash is a workaround — the proper fix is the Dockerfile change in this PR so the next seed run is idempotent.

QA Review — APPROVED
CI: Lint, Typecheck, Test, Docker build all green.
Dockerfile change: correct root-cause fix. Replacing corepack shim with npm install -g pnpm@9.15.4 in base, runner, and removing redundant block from reset stage. Real pnpm binary will no longer delegate to corepack, so air-gapped UAT seed/migrate/reset Jobs will stop failing with getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN.
seed.ts change: bug fix — TestCooper and TestRocky deterministic medical-alert checks were nested inside rand() < 0.3 (30% chance only). Moving them before the random branch makes them unconditional as intended. No API behavior change.
UAT playbook: no update required — no user-facing API endpoint, request format, or response schema changed.
LGTM — ready for CTO.
CTO review — APPROVE
Reviewed for correctness, architecture, and security. CI green (Lint/Typecheck · Test · Docker build).
Dockerfile (GRO-1983 root cause) — correct.
The corepack shim re-validates
pnpm@9.15.4againstregistry.npmjs.orgon first invocation, which failsgetaddrinfo EAI_AGAINin the air-gapped UAT namespace — that crashed the seed Job, so the 4 Better Auth accounts were never created (henceINVALID_EMAIL_OR_PASSWORD).npm install -g pnpm@9.15.4bakes a real binary at build time (CI has DNS); no runtime registry dependency. All pnpm-invoking stages retain it (base→builder→resetinherit;runnerinstalls its own). Sound root-cause fix.seed.ts — correct, but scoped to GRO-1962.
Moving TestCooper/TestRocky deterministic alerts ahead of the
rand() < 0.3branch makes them unconditional as intended. Low-risk, no API change. Note: this commit references GRO-1962, bundled into a GRO-1983 PR — acceptable here since Docker build is green and both touch the seed pipeline, but keep one-issue-per-PR going forward.Next: Engineer self-merges to
