- docs/deployment/backup-restore.md: production backup checklist; documents that deploy.sh loads the env, validates before backup, and validates the dump. Adds VERIFIED UTF-8/Norwegian-character round trip (æ ø å survive a real deploy.sh backup -> restore byte-exact; HEX compared). States plainly that no production database was reached and the owner must run one real backup + scratch restore. - docs/deployment/manual-smoke-test.md: owner-run post-deploy checklist (auth, applications, career profile, CV builder, AI, files). Each item names what "wrong" looks like. Documents that login requires the owner. - runner-investigation.md: Finding C -- the latest CI red was a real ICU code bug the runner caught correctly, not instability. Amends the blanket "outside the repository" conclusion. A and B stand as separate env issues. - release-candidate-review.md: corrected drifted line refs after the index fix; noted the CI ICU finding so the "purely external" verdict is honest. All claims reflect behaviour verified this session. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Manual smoke test — post-deployment

Each item names what **wrong** looks like, because "it loaded" is not a check. Stop and consider
|
|
rollback on any ✗.
|
|
|
|
## Authentication
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Login succeeds** with an existing account. ✗ = password rejected, or a 5xx on submit.
|
|
- [ ] **Existing session works** — reload the page after login and stay signed in. ✗ = session drops
|
|
on refresh, which means `AUTH_JWT_KEY` changed between deploys.
|
|
- [ ] **Logout works** and returns to the signed-out state. ✗ = still authenticated after logout.
|
|
|
|
## Applications
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Existing applications load.** ✗ = empty list for a user who had applications.
|
|
- [ ] **Counts are correct** — the number matches what you saw before the deploy. ✗ = any drop. This
|
|
is the single most important check.
|
|
- [ ] **Workspace opens** for one application — Overview, Checklist, Timeline, Analysis, Match render.
|
|
✗ = a section erroring. Empty new sections on old applications are **correct**, not a fault.
|
|
|
|
## Career profile
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Profile loads** with real experience, education and skills.
|
|
- [ ] **Languages are present.** ✗ = languages missing, or reduced to English only. That is the
|
|
`9681618` / `fba858e` ICU-dependence class of bug; if it reappears the container's ICU differs
|
|
from what was tested. Check a profile that lists Norwegian specifically.
|
|
- [ ] **Structured career data is intact** — experiences, education, projects, certifications all
|
|
show their fields, not blanks.
|
|
- [ ] **No data loss from the relational migration** — spot-check a profile edited before the deploy
|
|
against what you remember. ✗ = fields silently emptied.
|
|
|
|
## CV builder
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Existing CV variants load** in the builder list; open one.
|
|
- [ ] **Editing works** — change a field, confirm autosave persists after reload.
|
|
- [ ] **Preview works** — the themed preview renders the variant.
|
|
- [ ] **PDF export works** — export produces a valid PDF (this exercises the in-container Chromium).
|
|
✗ = export hangs or errors, usually a Chromium/`CV_PDF_BROWSER_PATH` problem.
|
|
- [ ] **Public CV loads directly after refresh** — open `/cv/<slug>` for an already-public variant,
|
|
then **hard-refresh**. ✗ = 404 on refresh, which is SPA deep-link routing, not the CV itself.
|
|
|
|
## AI features
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **AI generation works** — run one generation (interview prep or cover letter). ✗ = 5xx or an
|
|
indefinite hang. If `ai-service` is down the *deploy* still succeeds (AI is not a deploy gate),
|
|
so this must be checked by hand.
|
|
- [ ] **Suggestions are generated** and shown for review.
|
|
- [ ] **No unwanted writes occur** — the generation does **not** modify the Career Profile, a CV
|
|
variant, or application fields until you explicitly save. Confirm the source records are
|
|
unchanged after generating but before saving. ✗ = anything written without your action.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Attachment upload** — upload a file to an application; it appears in the list.
|
|
- [ ] **Attachment download** — download an existing attachment from an old application. ✗ = 404,
|
|
which means the `jobtracker_data` volume did not survive the deploy.
|
|
- [ ] **Permissions** — confirm you cannot reach another user's attachment. Signed in as user A,
|
|
requesting user B's attachment id must return 404/403, never the file. (The automated suite
|
|
already asserts tenant scoping; this is the human confirmation.)
|
|
|
|
## After the checklist
|
|
|
|
- [ ] `/health` reports the version you deployed, not `1.0.0.0` (the assembly fallback means
|
|
`APP_VERSION` did not reach the container).
|
|
- [ ] Row counts for applications and companies still match the pre-deploy numbers.
