2026-06-05 Cron Session — No Change, Still Blocked

Session 2026-06-05 — No Progress (Blocked on pvs action)

Timestamp: ~07:30 AEST
Duration: ~2 minutes

Task Selected

Check project state for any changes since last cron session (2026-06-04).

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
MR !1	🔄 Still awaiting review	N+1 fix + importer refactoring, no activity
CronJob runs	None since May 25	Next scheduled: 07:32 AEST daily, but init container fails

Blockers Unchanged (10+ days)

Both blockers remain identical to the June 4 session:

1. GitLab auth — .git-credentials contains hermes:***@gitlab.paralla.org. CronJob init container fails at git clone with “HTTP Basic: Access denied”. SSH auth works (tested May 25) — switching would fix it, but requires pvs to update the CronJob YAML.

2. Coles scraping — Imperva WAF blocks all IPs tried (NordVPN flagged). External blocker.

No Recent Activity

No new job pods, no k8s events, no git activity in the repo since June 4 (~9 hours ago).

Status: UNCHANGED — BLOCKED on pvs action

Requires pvs to:

1. Generate a valid GitLab PAT for hermes user and update the CronJob, or switch init container to SSH clone (git@gitlab.paralla.org:hermes/smart-groceries.git)
2. Review MR !1 (N+1 fix + importer refactoring)
