description

Run, build, serve, and deploy the Cambridge Beer Festival app. Load when asked to start the dev server, build for web/Android, run e2e tests locally, provision Cloudflare D1, update festival data, cut a release, or figure out "where does this land / what URL is this on / which workflow deploys X". Triggers — "run the app", "build for web", "start the dev server", "serve the release build", "build an APK/AAB", "run e2e tests", "provision D1", "the database_id is a placeholder", "update festivals.json", "cut a release", "tag a release", "what does release-pr.yml do", "why didn't CI run on the release PR", "where's the staging URL", "check the worker health endpoint", "what lands in build/web". Provides the run matrix, the deployment topology table, the release-train runbook with its traps, the D1 provisioning runbook, the festival-data-update flow, output locations, and honest limits on what an agent can check operationally (no dashboard access).

Run and Operate

This skill covers doing things: running the app, building artifacts, deploying them, and knowing where the results land. It assumes the toolchain is already installed (see skill build-and-env if ./bin/mise itself is broken) and that you've already cleared change control for whatever you're about to ship (see skill change-control for gates/policy — this skill does not repeat them).

All commands below were verified against mise.toml, mise.dev.toml, mise-tasks/**, and .github/workflows/** on 2026-07-02. Re-run the checks in "Provenance and maintenance" before trusting a command that looks stale.

---

1. Run matrix

Goal	Command	Notes
Dev server	MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run dev	flutter run -d web-server --web-port 8080 --pid-file flutter-dev.pid (mise-tasks/dev.sh). Serves http://localhost:8080. On Claude Code Web, omit MISE_ENV=dev — .miserc.toml already selects claude-code-web,dev when CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE=true; an explicit MISE_ENV overrides that file and drops the web env.
Local web build (for e2e)	MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run build:web	flutter build web --release --base-href "/" (mise-tasks/build/web.sh). No dart-defines. Output: build/web/.
Production-shaped web build	MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run build:web:prod	Runs scripts/get_version_info.sh export first, then flutter build web --release --base-href "/" with --dart-define=GIT_TAG=..., GIT_COMMIT, GIT_BRANCH, BUILD_VERSION, BUILD_TIME (mise-tasks/build/web/prod.sh). Does NOT pass --source-maps — for a crash-decodable local build and the full decode workflow see skill diagnostics-and-tooling §2.
Serve a release build locally	MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run serve:release	npx http-server build/web -p 8080 --proxy http://localhost:8080? (mise-tasks/serve/release.sh). The --proxy flag is the SPA-fallback trick: any path http-server can't find as a static file gets re-requested through the proxy, which serves index.html — this is what makes deep links like /cbf2026/drink/beer/123 work when refreshed against a static file server. Errors loudly if build/web doesn't exist yet — build first.
Android debug/release build (local)	flutter build apk --release / flutter build appbundle --release	No mise task wraps this (confirmed: ./bin/mise tasks ls has no build:android* entry) — these are the one place AGENTS.md's "never run raw flutter" rule doesn't apply, because there is nothing to wrap. Debug-signed locally (no android/key.properties) unless you've set one up per docs/tooling/android-release.md. Outputs: build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk, build/app/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab.
e2e recipe (local, once per machine)	see below

e2e recipe

# 1. One-time per machine: installs npm deps + Playwright chromium + system deps (may sudo-prompt)
MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run setup:playwright

# 2. Build the app (plain build is fine — e2e doesn't need dart-defines)
MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run build:web

# 3. Serve it (separate terminal, or background)
MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run serve:release
# — or, matching CI exactly: npm run serve:web (binds 127.0.0.1, adds -c-1 no-cache)

# 4. Run the suite
MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run test:e2e          # headless
MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run test:e2e:headed   # visible browser
MISE_ENV=dev ./bin/mise run test:e2e:ui       # Playwright UI mode

On Claude Code Web, drop MISE_ENV=dev from all of the above (same auto-env rule as the dev server).

playwright.config.ts (repo root) has no webServer block on purpose — comment in the file explains CI needs manual control over the http-server lifecycle (start in background, run tests, kill it). baseURL defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8080, override with BASE_URL env var to point at a deployed preview instead (this is how smoke-test-preview in CI runs csp-smoke.spec.ts against a live Cloudflare Pages URL — that test is invisible against a local server because web/_headers CSP rules are a Cloudflare Pages feature, not something a plain static server applies).

Suites in test-e2e/: app.spec.ts (load smoke, console-error budget), routing.spec.ts (URL mechanics, deep links, redirects), csp-smoke.spec.ts (zero CSP violations — deployed-URL only, see above).

2. Deployment topology

What	Where	Trigger	Workflow	Cloudflare project / branch
Staging web	staging.cambeerfestival.app	push to main (app/functions changed)	ci.yml job deploy-web-preview	staging-cambeerfestival, branch main
PR preview web	<head-ref>.staging-cambeerfestival.pages.dev + PR comment	pull_request (app/functions changed)	ci.yml job deploy-web-preview	staging-cambeerfestival, branch = PR head ref
Production web	cambeerfestival.app	workflow_dispatch (called by release.yml after a version tag)	release-web.yml	cambeerfestival, branch release
Android	Google Play Internal track	workflow_dispatch with upload_to_play=true (called by release.yml)	release-android.yml	package ralcock.cbf; min/target SDK come from Flutter's defaults (build.gradle delegates to flutter.minSdkVersion/flutter.targetSdkVersion), currently 21/34
Worker (API proxy)	data.cambeerfestival.app	push to main touching cloudflare-worker/**, data/festivals.json, or scripts/**	cloudflare-worker.yml job deploy-worker	worker cbf-data-proxy (cloudflare-worker/wrangler.toml)
Pages Functions (social-crawler OG tags)	colocated with whichever Pages project served the request	same deploy as the web build it rides with	none separate — functions/ ships inside build/web deploys	n/a
API docs (OpenAPI/Redoc)	GitHub Pages	push/PR touching proto/**	api-docs.yml	n/a (GitHub Pages, not Cloudflare)

Both Cloudflare Pages projects are confirmed live in docs/tooling/cloudflare-pages.md and match ci.yml/release-web.yml exactly (project names, branch names, --project-name= flags). docs/processes/ci-cd.md is stale — it names a deploy-worker.yml workflow (real name: cloudflare-worker.yml), a single main.cambeerfestival.pages.dev staging URL, cloudflare/pages-action@v1, and wrangler-action@v3. None of that matches the current workflow files (cloudflare/wrangler-action@v4, two-project split above). Trust the workflow YAML and docs/tooling/cloudflare-pages.md, not docs/processes/ci-cd.md.

One CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN GitHub secret covers Workers Scripts + Pages (+ D1) Edit permissions for all of the above.

3. The release train runbook

Versioning is CalVer YYYY.M.patch (month with no leading zero). Build number = date * 100 + patch (e.g. 2026.5.7 tagged on 2026-05-17 → 2026051707) — keeps Android versionCode unique even for two releases the same day.

Doc drift — AGENTS.md is stale here. AGENTS.md's Release Process still says "(build number = YYYYMMDD)". That 8-digit scheme is obsolete: PR #293 changed it to the 10-digit date * 100 + patch form above. Trust this section, not AGENTS.md. (Logged in docs-and-writing's known-drift list.)

push to main (or daily 06:00 UTC cron, or manual dispatch)
        │
        ▼
release-pr.yml
  - computes next vYEAR.MONTH.PATCH from existing tags
  - git-cliff --unreleased → release-notes.md
  - prepends CHANGELOG.md, seds pubspec.yaml version
  - opens/force-updates PR  release/next → main,  titled "Release X.Y.Z"
        │
        │  (human reviews + merges release/next)
        ▼
release.yml   (fires on: pull_request closed, head_ref == release/next, merged == true)
  - reads version from pubspec.yaml (source of truth, not the PR title)
  - creates + pushes tag vX.Y.Z
  - creates GitHub Release from the top CHANGELOG.md slice
  - gh workflow run release-web.yml    -f version=vX.Y.Z
  - gh workflow run release-android.yml -f version=vX.Y.Z -f upload_to_play=true
        │
        ├──▶ release-web.yml: analyze → test → build web (5 dart-defines) →
        │     wrangler pages deploy --project-name=cambeerfestival --branch=release
        │
        └──▶ release-android.yml: matrix{apk, appbundle} release build →
              GitHub Release artifacts + checksums → Play Internal track

To cut a release manually:

# release-pr.yml already opened/updated release/next — just merge it in the UI,
# or dispatch it directly:
gh workflow run release-pr.yml

# Hotfix outside the normal flow: branch from the tag, not main
git checkout v2026.5.2
git checkout -b hotfix/fix-description
# fix, conventional-commit, PR into main; release-pr.yml picks it up next run

Traps

1. CI does not run on the release PR. GitHub does not fire workflow triggers for PRs authored by GITHUB_TOKEN. This is accepted as safe because the only diff from main is pubspec.yaml (version bump) and CHANGELOG.md (generated text) — the actual app code already passed CI on main before release-pr.yml ran. Don't "fix" this by disabling branch protection or forcing a re-run; if you want CI on the release PR, that requires a real PAT in secrets.RELEASE_TOKEN passed to create-pull-request's token: input — not currently configured.
2. release.yml uses workflow_dispatch, not the tag-push event, to launch deploys — because GITHUB_TOKEN-created tags/releases don't fire their own workflow triggers either. gh workflow run ... -f version=... sidesteps it. If you manually push a tag yourself (bypassing the release PR), the web/android deploy workflows will NOT auto-fire — you must dispatch them yourself with the version input (both accept workflow_dispatch with a version string).
3. pr-lint.yml is skipped when head_ref == 'release/next' — the release PR title ("Release X.Y.Z") is not conventional-commit-shaped and isn't meant to be.
4. release-pr.yml ignores pushes that only touch pubspec.yaml or CHANGELOG.md (anti-race with itself). A lone version-bump-only push (e.g. a manual dependency version edit) won't refresh the release PR until the next daily cron — it isn't lost, just delayed up to 24h.
5. cliff.toml's tag_pattern is strict CalVer: v[0-9]{4}\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+. A tag outside that shape is invisible to git-cliff's changelog generation — don't hand-craft tags like v1.0.0-beta expecting them to show up.
6. Festival-freeze rule (maintainer-confirmed, see skill change-control for the full unwritten-rules list): no risky deploys near or during the live festival. This applies to the release train too — check the festival freeze window before merging release/next or dispatching release-web.yml/release-android.yml manually, even though nothing in the workflow YAML enforces it technically.

First-ever Android release needs a manual AAB upload through Play Console (the Google Play API can't create a new app listing) — see docs/tooling/android-release.md for the one-time Play App Signing enrollment; every release after that is fully automated.

---

4. D1 provisioning runbook (currently NOT provisioned)

STOP — gate check before you run anything in this section. Provisioning edits cloudflare-worker/wrangler.toml (pasting the real database_id) and runs live wrangler d1 create / migrations apply --remote against the Cloudflare account. cloudflare-worker/ is on the Do-Not-Modify list — touching it (wrangler.toml included) requires an explicit maintainer request, not agent initiative. Also confirm the festival-freeze window is clear before provisioning or migrating (maintainer rule — no risky infra changes near/during the live festival; see skill change-control). Do not run the commands below on your own judgement.

cloudflare-worker/wrangler.toml has a placeholder database id:

[[d1_databases]]
binding = "RATINGS_DB"
database_name = "cbf-myfestival"
database_id = "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
migrations_dir = "migrations"

Tests and wrangler dev use a simulated local D1 (via @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers) and ignore this id entirely — the whole worker test suite (npm test in cloudflare-worker/) runs green with the placeholder in place, so a passing test:worker run tells you nothing about whether the real database exists.

To provision the real thing (do this before any manual wrangler deploy that needs to serve real /v1alpha review traffic):

cd cloudflare-worker

# 1. Create the D1 database in the Cloudflare account
wrangler d1 create cbf-myfestival
# → paste the returned database_id into wrangler.toml's database_id field

# 2. Apply migrations to the REAL (remote) database
wrangler d1 migrations apply cbf-myfestival --remote
# (only one migration exists today: migrations/0001_create_reviews_table.sql —
#  single `reviews` table, PK (bucket, festival_id, drink_id, device_id))

The CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN used for this needs D1:Edit permission in addition to whatever Workers/Pages scopes it already has (comment in wrangler.toml and the general secret at docs/tooling/github-secrets.md cover Workers+Pages; D1 is an additional scope to add when provisioning).

Before any manual (non-CI) wrangler deploy, copy the festivals registry into the worker directory — it's the embedded-at-deploy-time data source and is gitignored so it isn't committed twice:

cp data/festivals.json cloudflare-worker/festivals.json

CI's deploy-worker/validate-worker jobs in cloudflare-worker.yml do this copy step automatically; only a manual/local wrangler deploy needs you to remember it. cloudflare-worker/package.json's pretest script does the same copy for tests, so npm test locally works without this step — it's deploy specifically that needs it.

This whole runbook is a prerequisite for the "cloud sync" half of the My Festival campaign (v1alpha API + D1 + Flutter sync client) — see skill my-festival-campaign if you're picking that up.

---

5. Festival data updates

# 1. Edit the registry
$EDITOR data/festivals.json

# 2. Validate locally against the schema before pushing
./bin/mise run validate:festivals
# = npm ci (in scripts/) && node ../scripts/validate-festivals.js
# Ajv (strict:false + ajv-formats) against docs/code/api/festival-registry-schema.json

# 3. Push to main
git add data/festivals.json && git commit -m "..." && git push

Pushing triggers cloudflare-worker.yml: validate-festivals (re-checks the schema in CI) → test-worker → deploy-worker (copies data/festivals.json → cloudflare-worker/festivals.json, then wrangler deploy). The worker embeds the registry at deploy time and serves it from GET /festivals.json with no-cache, must-revalidate — there is no separate "publish" step beyond the git push landing on main.

data/festivals.json (not web/data/festivals.json — AGENTS.md has a typo here, verify against the actual file if in doubt) holds festivals[], default_festival_id, version, last_updated; per-festival fields include id (^[a-z0-9-]+$), available_beverage_types[], data_base_url (relative or absolute), is_active, charity_*.

Cross-reference: festival-freeze rule (skill change-control) governs when you're allowed to push a festivals.json change, not just how.

6. Where output lands

Artifact	Path	Produced by
Web build	build/web/	build:web, build:web:prod, CI build-web job
Android APK	build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk	flutter build apk --release
Android AAB	build/app/outputs/bundle/release/app-release.aab	flutter build appbundle --release
Android mapping (deobfuscation)	build/app/outputs/mapping/release/mapping.txt	release AAB build; uploaded to Crashlytics (Gradle plugin) and Play Console (CI step)
Coverage	coverage/lcov.info	./bin/mise run coverage
Playwright HTML report	playwright-report/	any test:e2e* run
Analyze log	path printed as ANALYZE_LOG=... (mktemp /tmp/analyze-XXXXXX.log)	./bin/mise run analyze — grep it, don't re-run to check something else
Test log	path printed as TEST_LOG=... (mktemp /tmp/test-XXXXXX.log)	./bin/mise run test — same idea
CI web-build artifact	uploaded from build/web (source-maps stripped)	ci.yml build-web job
CI source-maps artifact	main.dart.js.map, retained 7 days	ci.yml build-web job (only place --source-maps is passed outside a manual local build)
CI Android artifacts	android-apk, android-aab, android-mapping (release-android.yml); app-debug-apk (ci.yml, debug-signed release build)	respective workflows
OpenAPI spec artifact	openapi-spec (PR) / published to GitHub Pages (main)	api-docs.yml

For the measurement side of these logs (how to interpret analyzer output, decode a minified crash from a source map, read coverage deltas) see skill diagnostics-and-tooling — this skill only tells you where things land, not how to read them.

---

7. Operational checks — what you (the agent) can actually see

Be honest about the boundary: you have no Cloudflare dashboard, no Firebase Console, no Google Play Console access, and cannot browse a deployed URL yourself. What you can do from a shell:

# Worker health (public, no auth) — confirms the worker is up and serving
curl -s https://data.cambeerfestival.app/health
# → {"status":"ok"}

# Worker-served festival registry (public)
curl -s https://data.cambeerfestival.app/festivals.json | head -c 300

# Production / staging site availability (HTTP-level only — Flutter web
# renders to a <canvas>, so curl/HTML inspection cannot confirm the UI
# actually works; see debugging-playbook's note on Playwright's canvas limit)
curl -sI https://cambeerfestival.app
curl -sI https://staging.cambeerfestival.app

# A PR preview URL appears as a comment on the PR itself (posted by
# ci.yml's deploy-web-preview job) — read it with:
gh pr view <number> --json comments

What you cannot verify without a human: Cloudflare Pages deployment status/logs (dashboard-only), Cloudflare Worker resource usage/limits, D1 database contents or query performance, Firebase Analytics event volume, Crashlytics crash-free-rate or new crash groups, Google Play Console review status/rollout percentage. Flag these explicitly as outstanding rather than guessing — e.g. "worker /health returns ok; I cannot confirm the Cloudflare Pages deployment finished — check the dashboard or gh run watch the workflow run."

gh run list --workflow=<name> / gh run watch <run-id> (GitHub CLI, not a dashboard) is the one dependable proxy for deployment status an agent can use — it tells you whether the workflow that performs the deploy succeeded, even though it can't show you the resulting live page.

The in-app EnvironmentBadge widget (lib/widgets/environment_badge.dart) is a user-facing operational signal, not an agent-facing one: it renders a colored pill (orange=staging, purple=preview, blue=development, hidden in production) so a human tester glancing at the app can tell which environment they're in. Point a human at it if they ask "how do I know I'm looking at staging" — an agent cannot render or see it.

---

When NOT to use this skill

• Toolchain won't install, mise itself fails, need to recreate the dev environment from scratch, MISE_ENV layering questions → skill build-and-env.
• "Is this change allowed", which CI gate applies, review-comment triage, Do-Not-Modify list, the four unwritten rules, ADR process → skill change-control.
• Reading ANALYZE_LOG/TEST_LOG output, decoding a minified web crash from a source map, interpreting a coverage report, screenshot/page-check tooling → skill diagnostics-and-tooling.
• Executing the My Festival / cloud-sync roadmap end-to-end (of which D1 provisioning here is one step) → skill my-festival-campaign.

Provenance and maintenance

Written 2026-07-02. Verified against the working tree at that date: mise.toml, mise.dev.toml, mise-tasks/dev.sh, mise-tasks/build/web.sh, mise-tasks/build/web/prod.sh, mise-tasks/serve/release.sh, mise-tasks/test/e2e.sh, mise-tasks/setup/playwright.sh, mise-tasks/analyze.sh, mise-tasks/test.sh, playwright.config.ts, package.json (root, e2e), cloudflare-worker/wrangler.toml, cloudflare-worker/package.json, cloudflare-worker/migrations/, .github/workflows/{ci,release-pr,release,release-web,release-android, cloudflare-worker}.yml, cliff.toml, docs/processes/release.md, docs/tooling/{cloudflare-pages,android-release}.md, lib/widgets/environment_badge.dart. Ran ./bin/mise tasks ls --json to confirm no build:android* task exists.
