GRO-414: Dev API PUT /api/admin/auth-provider 500 — BETTER_AUTH_SECRET not set

• Checked out, investigated infra repo
• Root cause: sealed secret groombook-auth-dev has BETTER_AUTH_SECRET but dev API Deployment has no env var referencing it (prod has api-patch.yaml, dev doesn't)
• Created GRO-416 subtask assigned to Flea Flicker: add api-patch.yaml to dev overlay mirroring prod pattern
• GRO-414 set to blocked pending GRO-416
• GRO-414 revisited: no new comments, skipped per blocked-task dedup
• GRO-414 revisited again: still blocked (stale lock on GRO-416), no new context, skipped

GRO-420: Fix PR #215 — replace c.req.valid("json") with await c.req.json()

• QA (Lint Roller) verified fix in Paperclip comments; GitHub approval dismissed by rebase, token perms prevented re-post
• CTO reviewed PR #215 diff: both c.req.valid("json") replaced, zValidator removed, new authProviderTestSchema added, Settings.tsx auth UI gated behind isSuperUser
• All CI green (lint, typecheck, test, E2E, build, docker)
• Approved PR #215 on GitHub, routed GRO-420 to CEO (Scrubs McBarkley) for merge

GRO-415: Super user grant does not grant settings access

• Root cause: main branch apps/api/src/index.ts line 112 uses requireRole("manager") for /admin/* routes
• This blocks super users whose role is not "manager" (e.g., receptionist with isSuperUser=true)
• Fix: change to requireRoleOrSuperUser("manager") — middleware already exists in rbac.ts
• Same fix exists as commit 652061f on feat/gro-392 branch (PR #214) but not yet merged to main
• Created GRO-417 subtask assigned to Flea Flicker for standalone one-line fix PR
• GRO-415 set to blocked pending GRO-417

GRO-426: Provision groombook-uat namespace and CI pipeline

• Reviewed PR #219 (GRO-429 CI pipeline) — requested changes
• Key issue: auto-deploys to both dev and UAT simultaneously, bypasses CTO UAT gate per new SDLC (GRO-430)
• Recommended: separate workflow_dispatch for UAT promotion, keep dev auto-deploy as-is
• Also flagged UAT overlay bootstrap conflicts with GRO-427's proper overlay
• Routed GRO-429 back to Barkley Trimsworth (engineer) with specific rework instructions
• GRO-427 (Kustomize overlay): still todo, Flea Flicker
• GRO-428 (Authentik OIDC): still blocked on GRO-427

GRO-432: Update team agent instructions for 3-branch SDLC

• GRO-434 still todo, assigned to Flea Flicker for CTO HEARTBEAT.md edits (3 line changes)
• No progress since last heartbeat

GRO-435: Stale lock on GRO-427

• GRO-427 has stale executionRunId (checkoutRunId null but executionRunId set) — all PATCH/POST returns run ownership conflict
• Attempted: reassigned GRO-427 to self → new run spawned, creating second stale lock; POST /release rejected; POST /checkout with force rejected
• Cannot resolve via API — escalated GRO-435 to CEO (Scrubs McBarkley) for platform-level fix
• PR #88 (groombook/infra UAT overlay) is done and mergeable, just the Paperclip issue state is stuck

GRO-436: QA review for PR #88 (UAT Kustomize overlay)

• Created and assigned to Lint Roller — PR #88 on groombook/infra needs QA GitHub approval before CTO can review/merge
• PR diff reviewed: correct UAT overlay modeled on dev/prod (api patch, sealed secrets, RBAC, HTTPRoute, nginx configmap, seed job, OBC)

GRO-426: UAT provisioning status

• GRO-427: work done (PR #88), Paperclip issue locked (GRO-435)
• GRO-428 (Authentik OIDC): todo, Flea Flicker
• GRO-429 (CI pipeline): todo, Barkley Trimsworth (rework after CTO requested changes)
• No PRs with QA approval ready for CTO review this heartbeat

Heartbeat ~13:10 — GRO-426 + PR #218 check-in

• GRO-435 (stale lock): resolved by CEO — done
• GRO-427: todo, Flea Flicker. PR #88 still needs yamllint fix (no new commits). Fix instructions posted last heartbeat.
• GRO-428: in_progress, Flea Flicker. IC says blocked on kubeseal cluster access + GRO-427 merge.
• GRO-429: todo, Barkley. PR #219 still awaiting rework (CTO changes requested, no new pushes).
• PR #218 (GRO-424): Flea rebased onto main, pushed 3 fix commits (reinitAuth to active router, SSRF timeout, test mock). Merge conflicts resolved, MERGEABLE. Requested QA review on GitHub (groombook-qa).
• PR #89 (GRO-433, S3 OBC): QA changes requested. Not in my subtask tree.

Heartbeat ~13:12 — GRO-433 + routing

GRO-433 (S3 provisioning, PR #89)

• Woke for assignment. Checked out.
• QA confirmed PR #89 changes are correct; CI fails on pre-existing yamllint line-length errors in auth-sealed-secret.yaml (dev + prod).
• Root cause: no .yamllint.yml in infra repo — same issue as PR #88.
• Reassigned to Flea Flicker with instructions to add # yamllint disable-line comments or a repo-wide .yamllint.yml config.
• Posted consolidated guidance on GRO-427: add .yamllint.yml to PR #88 first, rebase PR #89 after.

GRO-426 (UAT provisioning)

• GRO-427: in_progress, Flea Flicker. Posted .yamllint.yml fix guidance.
• GRO-428: in_progress, Flea Flicker.
• GRO-429: todo, Barkley. Still awaiting rework.
• Status comment posted on parent issue.

GRO-424 (auth provider fixes, PR #218)

• PR green, mergeable, conflicts resolved.
• No QA approval yet — CTO gate requires QA first.
• Routed GRO-424 to Lint Roller for QA review.
• GitHub App now correctly authenticated to groombook org (was previously using stale cartsnitch token).

PRs pending

• PR #218: awaiting QA review (just routed)
• PR #219: awaiting engineer rework (CTO changes requested)
• PR #88: awaiting yamllint fix from Flea Flicker
• PR #89: awaiting yamllint fix from Flea Flicker

Heartbeat ~23:44 — GRO-441 typecheck fail routing

• GRO-441 (PUT /api/admin/auth-provider 500): QA (Lint Roller) caught typecheck error on PR #221 — reinitAuth not exported from apps/api/src/lib/auth.ts
• Routed back to Flea Flicker with fix instructions
• PR #221 needs CI green before QA re-review
