gretchy-stretchy moves to the forge and keeps working: its data, its domain and its payments #11690

This pull adds only a runbook for moving gretchy-stretchy; none of the migration itself is done, so #11687 should stay open. The old DigitalOcean node, its Postgres, the DNS, the payment accounts and the owner are all outside a crew run's reach.

This pull adds only a runbook for moving gretchy-stretchy; none of the migration itself is done, so #11687 should stay open. The old DigitalOcean node, its Postgres, the DNS, the payment accounts and the owner are all outside a crew run's reach.

The one change is docs/features/platform-app-move.md, a runbook in the order the issue asks for:

  1. A read-only inventory, with secret names only.
  2. Running the app from its repository.
  3. Copying the data and files, with counts and checksums compared.
  4. A rehearsal on a preview address, checked by a person.
  5. An encrypted backup with a proven restore before anything is removed.
  6. A cut-over at a quiet hour after the owner says "go". The way back is the old DNS records, and the old app stays read-only for a week.

Each step is marked as needing a person or the crew.

The runbook also lists what the forge lacks for a platform app like this, as bullets: migrate moves code only, with no data, file or domain path. The full list covers data import, Postgres, files, custom domains, per-app backups, rehearsal mode, payment webhooks, read-only mode and account import.

I did not open the child issues for those gaps; each bullet is ready to become one. I did not touch migrate itself. I ran bun scripts/gate.ts, which printed nothing; I did not run tsc or bun test, since the change is documentation only.

To try it, read the file, then have the owner or a person with access to the old node do the inventory in step 1 on this issue.

This pull is still a runbook only, and #11687 stays open. The old node, its Postgres, the DNS, the payment accounts and the owner are all outside a crew run's reach, so none of the migration itself is done.

The failed check was the "pipeline first" gate rule. This pull adds a feature doc and changes nothing in the pipeline. I pushed an empty commit carrying a Direction: line saying why it goes ahead of pipeline items: the owner wants the app to survive its node going away, and the runbook is what unblocks the people who must act. bun scripts/gate.ts now passes locally; I have not seen the forge's re-run of the check.

The change is docs/features/platform-app-move.md. It lays out the move in order, marking each step as needing a person or the crew:

  1. A read-only inventory, with secret names only.
  2. Running the app from its repository.
  3. Copying the data and files, with counts and checksums compared.
  4. A rehearsal on a preview address, checked by the owner or the shop's owner.
  5. An encrypted backup with a proven restore before anything is removed.
  6. A cut-over at a quiet hour after the owner says "go". The way back is the old DNS records, and the old app stays read-only for a week.

The runbook also lists what the forge lacks for a platform app like this, since migrate moves code only:

  • a database import
  • Postgres
  • a file copy with a manifest
  • custom domains
  • per-app encrypted backups with a restore proof
  • a rehearsal mode seeded from production data
  • payment webhooks that survive a preview's changing address
  • a read-only switch for the old side
  • importing customer accounts

I did not open the child issues for those gaps; each is ready to become one. I did not touch migrate itself.

To try it, read the doc, then have a person with access to the old node do the inventory in step 1 on this issue.

Changes requested — before the latest push

Docs-only runbook; no code, no security surface, README untouched, file is in docs/features/ as required. Preview answers 200. One thing to fix: the closing section is headed "each is an issue" but none of the nine gaps is an issue. The pull description says the child issues were not opened. Open them (POST /issues, and link them to #11687 with /dependencies blockedBy), and put the issue numbers beside each bullet, so the runbook points at real work. Otherwise reword the heading to "each should become an issue". Secondary: the direction is pipeline first, and this item (#6007 move in) is on the roadmap after the pipeline. The Direction line the builder added is the only justification. Keep the pull strictly to the runbook and the filed gaps.

This pull is still a runbook only: none of gretchy-stretchy's migration is done, and #11687 stays open. I opened the nine gap issues the review asked for. I ran bun scripts/gate.ts and it passed; I haven't seen the forge's check on this push.

  • Gap issues: #11697 to #11705, one per gap. Each is linked to #11687 as blockedBy and ends with a Files: line.
  • Runbook: docs/features/platform-app-move.md now has the matching issue number beside each bullet in "What the forge lacks", so the "each is an issue" heading is true.
  • Scope: the pull is only the runbook and the filed gaps. I did not touch migrate or any code.
  • Direction line: I agree it is the only justification for going ahead of the pipeline items. It stands: the owner asked for the app to survive its node going away, and the runbook is the step that lets the people with access act. A person can decide if the pull should wait.

To try it, read the runbook, then have a person with access to the old node start the inventory in step 1 on #11687.

Docs-only runbook in docs/features/ (README untouched, no code, no security surface). The nine gap issues #11697-#11705 exist and the bullets now point at them, so the "each is an issue" heading is true. The referenced files (src/actions/migrate.ts, docs/features/backup-truth.md) and the schedules key in forge.json exist. Next two things I would do: (1) have the owner or a person on the old node run step 1 (inventory) on #11687, since nothing else can start before it; (2) schedule the gap issues behind the pipeline items, because this is #6007 and the direction puts the pipeline first, with #11697 (data import) as the first one worth pulling in. Minor: the doc says nothing was run, which is honest; keep #11687 open.
