When the Logging System Doesn't Log: A Week of Broken Infrastructure
If the first week of October was about building a solid Vite foundation and the second week's start was about plugging in features, the rest of that second week was about discovering that the infrastructure didn't work.

The email system had a SQL bug that prevented message caching. And nearly every session was interrupted by a system crash, internet glitch, or connection reset.
