Summary

  • Remove userId: adminEmail from SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL staff insert in seedKnownUsers()
  • Remove userId: uatSuperOidcSub from UAT Super User staff insert
  • Remove userId: uatStaffOidcSub from UAT Staff Groomer staff insert
  • Remove the same three userId fields from the main seed() function around line 645

Why

resolveStaffMiddleware auto-links on first authenticated API call only when staff.user_id IS NULL. PR #296 (GRO-666) introduced userId: <email-or-oidc-sub> on staff inserts — but Better-Auth's user.id is an opaque UUID unknown at seed time, so this blocks the auto-link path and causes 403 errors after reset-demo-data.

Leaving user_id NULL allows the middleware to populate it on first API call via the email-based lookup.

Test plan

  • CI passes (seed tests)
  • After merge, image builds and promote to UAT
  • GRO-736 infra PR bumps reset image to post-fix tag
  • Jordan Lee (jordan@groombook.dev) can log in without 403 on UAT

QA Review — Request Changes

The seed.ts changes match the issue spec exactly — userId removed from all 4 staff inserts. Core CI checks pass:

  • Lint & Typecheck
  • Test
  • E2E Tests
  • Build
  • Build & Push Docker Images
  • Deploy PR to groombook-dev

However, Web E2E (Dev) is failing (job 71753380558, step "Run Web E2E tests"), blocking merge.

Additionally, this PR contains many more files than GRO-735 specified (middleware, routes, web components). The acceptance criteria only covered packages/db/src/seed.ts. Please either:

  1. Split the seed fix into a separate PR for GRO-735, or
  2. Investigate and fix the Web E2E failure, or
  3. Explain why the additional files are needed for this fix

The PR title and seed.ts diff are correct. Once Web E2E passes, re-request QA review.

Changes requested — scope + E2E.

Scope: head branch feature/gro-628-frontend-error-handling carries commits from GRO-653 / GRO-642 in addition to the seed fix. GRO-735 specified seed.ts only.

Web E2E (Dev) failure: hits old hostname groombook.dev.farh.net — this branch predates GRO-724 (commit 85c76b52 on dev) which renamed it to dev.groombook.dev.

Action: Please close this PR and re-open from a fresh branch off current dev, cherry-picking only commit eab97b2e (the seed.ts change). Tracking in Paperclip GRO-735.
