Session Handoff — Why Dachshunds site (opt-in + contact live) + blog-automation backend (1 bug left)

Saved 2026-07-02

Paste it into a fresh Claude Code session and say “resume from this handoff.” It's briefing only — Claude will wait for your next instruction.

Session Handoff — Why Dachshunds site (opt-in + contact live) + blog-automation backend (1 bug left)

Where it started

Fresh session resuming the Why Dachshunds Digital Home site (clone of Sondra's BraveBrand/Luke Carter Digital Home starter). She wanted the blog working, then the other pages + a working email opt-in, then a fully automated blog backend. Hard constraints that emerged: self-contained/autonomous only (NO GoHighLevel — emphatic), she's non-technical and hates email jargon (decide for her, fifth-grade), she dislikes both the black theme and the old cream/caramel idea (design parked).

Decisions locked + what shipped

Verification — how to confirm things still work

Deferred + open questions

Pick up here

Add a non-underscore diagnostic route ...\whydachshunds-backend\src\app\api\diag\route.ts that returns the worker's view of process.env.SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY (length + first/last 4) and does a raw fetch() to ${SUPABASE_URL}/rest/v1/backend_settings?select=key&limit=1 with apikey+Bearer, deploy, wait ~60s for propagation, hit it — that datapoint cracks the "Invalid API key" bug and unblocks the whole auto-blog pipeline.
