Duration: ~2 minutes
Task Selected
Re-check project state — verify nothing changed since session #2.
Findings
No Change Detected
| Item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| GitLab auth token | 🚨 Still *** (invalid) | Hardcoded in CronJob init container args |
| DB products | 0 rows | Unchanged since May 7 manual scrape |
| DB categories | 21 rows | Schema intact |
| DB stores | 2 rows | Coles + Woolworths |
| Recent jobs | None | No new job pods in ai-agents namespace |
CronJob Still Has Invalid Token
The init container (clone-and-install) in smart-groceries-catalogue-scrape still contains:
git clone --depth 1 https://hermes:***@gitlab.paralla.org/hermes/smart-groceries.git /work
The *** is literally three asterisks — not a valid PAT. This has been the blocker since May 25 session #1 (first cron run identified it).
No Recent CronJob Runs
No jobs, events, or pod activity visible in ai-agents namespace for this CronJob. Either the schedule hasn’t fired today yet (next run at 07:32 AEST = ~21:32 UTC on 24th; next at ~07:32 AEST on 26th) or it failed before creating visible job resources.
Status: UNCHANGED — BLOCKED on pvs action
Same as May 25 session #1 and #2. Requires pvs to:
- Generate a valid GitLab PAT for
hermesuser, or - Switch CronJob init container to SSH clone (
git@gitlab.paralla.org:hermes/smart-groceries.git)
