⚙️ Quietly making things better
We sweat the details so your stuff finds its way home. Latest up: db client so production build never throws on missing env.
next build (and Vercel import) imports the module graph before env vars exist; the eager DATABASE_URL check crashed page-data collection. The db is now a lazy Proxy that only requires DATABASE_URL at first query.
Why it matters
Boring-but-important plumbing. Reliability work like this is what keeps the lights on so your tag just works, every single scan.
