Fixate — Restoring the Web-App Version

This document explains how to revert the static-site changes and bring the Express + tRPC + Postgres backend back online.

Nothing was deleted

All backend code is still in the repo:

  • server/ — Express entry point, tRPC routers, DB queries
  • shared/ — types shared between client and server
  • drizzle/, drizzle.config.ts, database/ — schema and migrations
  • Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml — full container setup
  • render.web.yaml.bak — the original Node web-service render.yaml

The web-app pnpm build script is still present in package.json and still works. Only pnpm build:static was added alongside it.

Files that were modified for the static build

File Change How to restore
client/index.html Removed <link rel="manifest">; SW registration replaced with an unregister script. Re-add <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" /> and restore the original navigator.serviceWorker.register('/sw.js') block.
client/public/sw.js Deleted. Recover from git history: git show HEAD:client/public/sw.js > client/public/sw.js (use the commit before the static conversion).
client/public/_redirects Added for Render SPA fallback. Optional — harmless if kept; delete if you prefer.
client/src/pages/Contact.tsx Form submit now opens WhatsApp instead of POSTing to /api/contact. Restore the original fetch("/api/contact", ...) block in handleSubmit.
package.json Added build:static script. Remove the script, or keep it — it doesn't affect the web-app build.
render.yaml Switched from runtime: node web service to runtime: static. cp render.web.yaml.bak render.yaml.

No imports were removed. @trpc/*, drizzle-orm, express, postgres, bcryptjs, etc. are all still in package.json and node_modules.

Steps to restore the web app

# 1. Restore render.yaml
cp render.web.yaml.bak render.yaml

# 2. Restore the Contact form's API call
#    Edit client/src/pages/Contact.tsx — see git history for the original handleSubmit body.
git log -p -- client/src/pages/Contact.tsx   # find the pre-static commit

# 3. (Optional) Restore PWA
#    Edit client/index.html — add back <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" />
#    and the original SW registration block.
#    Restore client/public/sw.js from git history.

# 4. Build & run as before
pnpm install
pnpm build          # full build: vite + esbuild for server
pnpm start          # Node server on port 3000

On Render

Replace the Static Site service with a Web Service:

Field Value
Service Type Web Service
Build Command npm install -g pnpm@10 && pnpm install --frozen-lockfile && pnpm build
Start Command node dist/index.js
Env vars NODE_ENV=production, NODE_VERSION=22, DATABASE_URL=postgresql://..., optionally OPENAI_API_KEY

render.web.yaml.bak already contains these settings — copying it to render.yaml and re-syncing the Blueprint is the fastest path.

Reverting via git

The cleanest option is to revert the static-conversion commit:

git log --oneline                       # find the static-conversion commit
git revert <commit-sha>                 # creates a revert commit
# or for a hard reset (destructive):
# git reset --hard <previous-commit>

Branching strategy used for this conversion: the static work lives on claude/hardcore-diffie-6c4a89. The previous main branch is untouched and remains the canonical web-app version.
