DB State

Metric	Value	Notes
Products	5,047	All Woolworths
Categories	34	Unique names (duplicates fixed June 9)

On special	~19%	Normal
Price range	$0.14-$ 110.00	Reasonable
Last import	2026-06-06 03:29:33	9 days stale

Blocker Status (unchanged since 2026-06-13)

Coles Imperva WAF — ❌ Still blocked. All IPs flagged by Imperva challenge layer. Requires residential proxy subscription or pvs SSH/proxy config change. No autonomous fix possible.
MR !1 (perf/categories-n1-fix) — ❌ Cannot merge as-is. Contains 3 regressions (reverted category counting, reverted CronJob namespace, reverted SSH clone to HTTPS). Requires manual review + selective merge by pvs.

Assessment

Data freshness: Degrading. 9 days since last import is well past the daily schedule. The CronJob at 07:32 AEST should be running — if it’s silently failing, that’s worth investigating but kubectl in cron context is unreliable (known blocker #3).
No autonomous progress possible. Both actionable items (Coles proxy + MR merge) require pvs intervention.
DB health: Stable and clean. Null prices at 3.8% — acceptable level.

Recommendation for pvs

Check CronJob logs for the smart-groceries-catalogue-scrape job in ai-agents namespace — has it been failing silently since June 9?
Decide on MR !1 merge strategy (cherry-pick vs rebase) — the branch diverged from main before critical fixes landed.
