Smart Groceries — Cron Session 2026-06-09

Goal: Fix duplicate categories (7 empty shells remaining from previous scrape).

Action Taken

Deleted 7 empty duplicate category rows that had been identified in the 2026-06-08 session. Products all referenced the correct (non-empty) IDs, so no data migration needed — pure cleanup.

Post-fix state

  • Categories: 34 (down from 41 — 7 duplicates removed, 6 were single unique names that had no duplicates but were also empty shells, now at 34 unique category names + others)
  • Products: 5,047 (unchanged — all point to correct category IDs)
  • Duplicate category names: 0 (fixed)

Blocker Status

  1. Coles Imperva WAF — Still blocked. Requires human decision on proxy infrastructure. No autonomous action possible.
  2. MR !1 reviewperf/categories-n1-fix still awaiting pvs approval (no activity since May 25). Cannot merge without pvs.

Summary

One concrete fix applied: duplicate category cleanup. Both major blockers (Coles scraping, MR !1) remain unchanged and require human action.
