Create the incident note at vault/04-Operations/Incidents/2026-03-13 Stale Build Manifest.md
Use the same Obsidian format as the existing incident files in that folder (YAML frontmatter with created, tags, related fields, and wikilinks). Here's what happened:
Incident: RateRight landing page UI degraded — CSS/JS failing to load intermittently.
Root cause: The Next.js server process (rateright-app.service) had been running since Mar 6. Someone ran npm run build on Mar 13 which regenerated the .next directory, but the running process still had old build manifests cached in memory. When browsers requested CSS/JS chunks, some hashes matched and worked, others didn't — causing intermittent 500s and unstyled pages.
Fix: systemctl restart rateright-app.service — fresh process loaded current build manifests.
Verification: Service active, CSS 5/5 returning 200 (98KB, text/css), page 200 fully styled, zero console errors.
Prevention: Added a warning callout and chained npm run build && systemctl restart in vault/04-Operations/SOPs/Deployment SOP.md. Added checklist items for SSR restart and asset verification. Next.js in production reads build manifests once at startup — always restart after rebuilding.

# 2026-03-12: OpenRouter Rate Limit — Full Fleet Outage

## Summary
All agents using OpenRouter as primary or fallback went down simultaneously when OpenRouter API credits ran out. Rivet was completely unresponsive for ~30 minutes.

## Root Cause
1. **5 of 8 agents** had OpenRouter as primary provider
2. **ALL fallbacks** also routed through OpenRouter
3. When OpenRouter credits depleted, nothing worked — no agent had a fallback on a different provider

## Additional Discovery
- Rivet had TWO config files: `/root/.openclaw/clawdbot.json` and `/root/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
- The gateway binary (`openclaw`) read `openclaw.json`, but all tooling edited `clawdbot.json`
- Config changes had zero effect for 4 restart cycles until we found the right file
- Session-level model overrides in `sessions.json` also bypass config-level fallbacks

## Fix Applied
1. Diversified all fallback chains — every agent's fallback uses a different provider than its primary
2. Reduced OpenRouter dependency from 5 primary agents to 2 (Harper, Radar)
3. [[02-Fleet/Rivet]] switched to DeepSeek as temporary primary (OpenAI rate limited)
4. [[02-Fleet/Herald]] switched to Google Gemini direct (removed from OpenRouter)
5. Symlinked `openclaw.json → clawdbot.json` so config can never drift again
6. Cleared session-level model overrides in `sessions.json`

## Lessons
- **Never put all fallbacks on the same provider as the primaries** — defeats the entire purpose
- **Always edit `/root/.openclaw/` not `/root/.clawdbot/`** — the running binary is `openclaw`
- **Check `sessions.json` after model changes** — session overrides persist across restarts
- **`gpt-5.3` doesn't exist** — the model is `gpt-5.3-codex`

## Time to Resolve
~45 minutes (including config discovery)

    11→
    12→## Root Cause
    13→- Anthropic began enforcing Section 3.7 of Consumer Terms (Jan 2026)
    14→- Client fingerprinting deployed to detect non-official clients
    15→- Max plan OAuth tokens rejected by Clawdbot/OpenClaw gateway
    16→
    17→## Fix Applied
    18→All 8 agents migrated to non-Anthropic providers:
    19→- OpenRouter, MiniMax, DeepSeek, Moonshot
    20→- Fallback chain: MiniMax M2.5 → Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview (via OpenRouter)
    21→
    22→## Lessons
    23→- `claude -p` (headless mode) IS allowed under Max plan — it's the official CLI
    24→- OAuth token extraction by third-party tools is NOT allowed
    25→- [[02-Fleet/Builder]] can use Opus 4.6 through LocalCC bridge (wraps `claude -p`)
    26→- Always have providers from 3+ different companies in the fleet

# 2026-03-13: Stale Build Manifest — Landing Page UI Degraded

## Summary
RateRight landing page CSS/JS failing to load intermittently. Pages returned unstyled or threw 500s for some asset requests. Browsers received mismatched chunk hashes — some worked, some didn't.

## Root Cause
1. The Next.js server process (`rateright-app.service`) had been running continuously since **Mar 6**
2. On Mar 13 someone ran `npm run build`, which regenerated the `.next` directory with new chunk hashes
3. The running process still had **old build manifests cached in memory** from startup
4. When browsers requested CSS/JS chunks, some hashes matched the on-disk files and returned 200 — others didn't, causing intermittent 500s and unstyled pages
5. **Key insight:** Next.js in production reads build manifests once at startup — a rebuild without a restart leaves the server serving stale references

## Fix Applied
```bash
systemctl restart rateright-app.service
```
Fresh process loaded current build manifests from the regenerated `.next` directory.

## Verification
- Service status: **active (running)**
- CSS asset checks: **5/5 returning 200** (98KB, `text/css`)
- Landing page: **200, fully styled**
- Browser console: **zero errors**

## Prevention
1. Added a **warning callout** to [[04-Operations/SOPs/Deployment SOP]] explaining why restart is mandatory after build
2. Changed the deploy command to a chained operation:
   ```bash
   npm run build && systemctl restart rateright-app.service
   ```
3. Added checklist items for **SSR process restart** and **asset verification** post-deploy
4. Rule: **Never run `npm run build` without restarting the service immediately after**

## Lessons
- **Next.js caches build manifests in memory at startup** — a new build means nothing until the process restarts
- **Intermittent failures are the worst kind** — some chunks match by coincidence, making the issue look random
- **Long-running Node processes + rebuilds = stale state** — always restart after any build step

## Time to Resolve
~15 minutes (once root cause identified)
