Why

Every deploy since #13 failed its healthcheck. The signing checkout's node_modules predated #13's dependency bump (Vite 8.2.1 vs 8.3.4 in yarn.lock), so the signed manifest described a build Railway never makes, and the server's startup manifest check refused to go healthy. Running pnpm in the repo had also half-converted node_modules to pnpm's layout.

What

  • yarn webcat:sign gains a first step, before the YubiKey: refuse if node_modules is missing, was touched by pnpm, or fails yarn check --integrity against yarn.lock. Logic in scripts/webcatDeps.mjs, tests in scripts/webcatDeps.test.ts.
  • "packageManager": "yarn@1.22.22" so pnpm refuses up front ("This project is configured to use yarn") instead of installing.

Verified

  • Clean worktree install: guard passes. Recreated the stale state (installed from the pre-Export and import matrices, Node 24, dependency updates #13 lockfile, then swapped in the current one): guard refuses. A node_modules/.pnpm tree: refused.
  • pnpm webcat:sign against a copy with the new field exits immediately, writes nothing.
  • A clean yarn install + VITE_DEBUG=false reproduces Railway's built index.html hash byte for byte.
  • yarn test (612), yarn lint, yarn typecheck pass.

No dist/ bytes change, so the current signature stays valid. Watch the first deploy: Railpack reads packageManager and may set up Yarn via corepack.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The WebCAT signing workflow now verifies that dependencies are installed and match the project requirements before proceeding to YubiKey signing. If dependencies are missing or fail verification, the workflow stops and displays guidance and diagnostic details.
    • The project now specifies Yarn 1.22.22 as its package manager, clarifying which version to use when setting up dependencies.

A checkout last installed before the PR #13 dependency bump (Vite 8.2.1
against a lockfile pinning 8.3.4) signed a build whose chunks differed
from Railway's clean install. The server's manifest check then failed
the healthcheck on every deploy, so nothing since #13 has gone live.

- webcat:sign now checks node_modules against yarn.lock (yarn check
  --integrity) and refuses a tree pnpm has rearranged, before it asks
  for the YubiKey.
- packageManager: yarn@1.22.22, so pnpm refuses to run here instead of
  half-installing into node_modules.

Walkthrough

The package declares Yarn 1.22.22. The signing script checks installed dependencies before checking the YubiKey. A new helper detects missing or pnpm-layout dependencies and reports failed Yarn integrity checks. Vitest tests cover these cases.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3f56a

The new check before signing should catch an outdated install, which matches the reported failure. However, it trusts Yarn's metadata file rather than the installed packages themselves. A tree changed without updating that metadata could still be signed and then fail deploy healthchecks. This can be merged with awareness, or tightened to verify installed versions.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Check installed packages before allowing a signature.

Yarn 1’s check --integrity compares yarn.lock with .yarn-integrity; without a file check, it does not verify the installed package contents. If an installed Vite package changes while that metadata remains, dependencyProblem returns null. The signing script can then sign bytes that the deploy will not build. Add a check of the installed versions and files, and add a regression test that changes an installed package without changing .yarn-integrity. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
