 # SnapAPI Session Log
 
+## Session 9 — 2026-02-20 (Browser Fix + CI/CD Attempt)
+
+**Goal:** Fix production reliability bug, set up CI/CD pipeline.
+
+### What Was Done
+
+1. **BUG-007 Fixed: Simultaneous browser restart** (snapapi-browser-fix specialist):
+   - Root cause: Both browsers hit `RESTART_AFTER_MS` simultaneously, causing 0 capacity for ~4s
+   - Fix: Staggered `lastRestartTime` per browser + one-at-a-time restart guard
+   - Commit: `e49c4073` — deployed to staging, verified playground returns 200
+   - **Needs production tag to fix in prod** (currently affects prod every ~1hr)
+
+2. **CI/CD pipeline partially set up** (snapapi-cicd-setup specialist):
+   - Updated `.forgejo/workflows/deploy.yml` and `promote.yml` with working kubectl deployment steps
+   - Created deployer SA with RBAC for both namespaces
+   - Generated deployer kubeconfig with 10-year token
+   - **BLOCKED:** Forgejo API token only has read scope, can't add secrets. Needs `write:repository` scope.
+   - REGISTRY_TOKEN secret already exists (from previous session)
+   - KUBECONFIG secret still missing
+
+3. **Staging TLS investigation:**
+   - Certificate stuck for 21h — `staging.snapapi.eu` has no DNS record
+   - Needs investor to add DNS A record
+
+### Investor Test — Session 9
+1. **Trust with money?** → YES, professional product, but playground has intermittent 503 (BUG-007 in prod)
+2. **Pod crash data loss?** → No, PostgreSQL is separate
+3. **Free tier abuse?** → Playground rate-limited to 5/hr/IP, no free API keys
+4. **Key recovery?** → Via Stripe customer portal (when webhook is registered)
+5. **Website features work?** → All pages work, playground intermittently fails due to BUG-007
+
+### Open Issues
+- BUG-007 fix on staging only — needs prod tag
+- Stripe webhook URL not registered
+- CI/CD blocked on Forgejo token scope
+- staging.snapapi.eu DNS missing
+- No external uptime monitoring
+
 ## Session 8 — 2026-02-19 (Git Sync + CI/CD Prep + Checkout Verification)
 
 **Goal:** Housekeeping — sync repo, prepare CI/CD credentials, verify checkout flow.
