Session 2026-06-15 — Cron Job (2nd run)
Time: 03:40 UTC / 13:40 AEST
Goal: Verify DB freshness after yesterday’s cron attempt, check if data updated since June 9.

CronJob Status
- Name:
smart-groceries-catalogue-scrape(namespace: ai-agents) - Schedule: 07:32 AEST daily (
32 07 * * *) - Last scheduled: 2026-06-14T21:32:00Z (~11h ago, today’s run)
- Active jobs: None
- Events: None visible
Analysis — CronJob Failure Since June 9
The DB was last modified on June 9 at 13:30 UTC (23:30 AEST). The scheduled time is 07:32 AEST. This means a successful import happened at ~23:30 AEST on June 9, which is NOT the scheduled time — likely an earlier run or manual trigger.
Since then (June 14), the CronJob has been scheduled but produces no job pods and no events. This indicates silent failure, likely due to one of the documented blockers:
- Camofox dependency — The scrape container connects to
camofox-browser-service.ai-agents.svc.cluster.local:9377. If that service is unavailable or unreachable from CronJob pods (no camofox sidecar), the import will timeout. - Timeout exceeded —
activeDeadlineSeconds: 3600s(1 hour) may be too short if camofox connection hangs.
Findings
- Data is only 6 days stale, not 9 — A successful import occurred on June 9 (DB file modified). Yesterday’s session incorrectly reported “last import: 2026-06-06” — the DB was updated after that date.
- CronJob is silently failing — No events, no job pods, data not advancing. This is a regression since June 9.
- Root cause likely camofox unavailability in CronJob context — Consistent with known blocker documented in the smart-groceries-project skill.
Recommendation for pvs
- Check
camofox-browser-servicepod status in ai-agents namespace — is it running? - Consider deploying camofox as a sidecar in the scrape CronJob, or increase
activeDeadlineSecondsif connection timeout is the issue. - The DB import date should be tracked explicitly (e.g., a table row) rather than relying on file modification timestamps for staleness detection.
