fix(deploy): generate the Prisma client explicitly in the Vercel build#82
Merged
Conversation
The client is generated by @nextcalc/database's postinstall into src/generated (the source tree, not node_modules). When a commit does not change the lockfile, Vercel restores its node_modules cache and pnpm skips lifecycle scripts entirely, so the freshly-cloned source tree has no generated client and the web build fails with "Module not found: ./generated/prisma/client". Deploys only ever succeeded when a lockfile change happened to force a full install (e.g. release version bumps). Run db:generate explicitly before the build — the exact pattern ci.yml already uses for the same reason. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
All five wave-1 PR previews (#77–#81) fail on Vercel with
Module not found: ./generated/prisma/client. The client is generated bypostinstallintopackages/database/src/generated— but when a commit does not change the lockfile, Vercel restores its node_modules cache, pnpm skips lifecycle scripts, and nothing generates the client. Main last deployed successfully only because the v1.5.2 version bumps changed the lockfile and forced a full install.One-line fix: run
db:generateexplicitly in the buildCommand — the exact patternci.ymlalready uses after install for the same reason.Verification
This PR's own Vercel preview is the test: it has no lockfile change, so it hits the cached-install path that reproduces the failure.
