Found on the actual first deployment: /api/v1/healthz proves the process is up, but says nothing about whether login actually works, because the session cookie is set with Secure in production. Test through a plain-HTTP address (an IP, a bare port, skipping the reverse proxy) and /auth/login still returns 200 with a valid body — the cookie is just silently dropped by the client, so the very next request looks unauthenticated. From a browser this looks exactly like "I logged in and it bounced me straight back to the login screen," with no error anywhere to point at. scripts/smoke-test.sh does the real round trip a browser does: login, confirm a session cookie was actually stored (not just sent), then an authenticated follow-up request confirming it succeeds and returns the right account. Verified it actually catches what it's meant to catch before committing: ran it against a throwaway account over plain HTTP against a production-mode container and got the expected FAIL with a diagnostic pointing at the Secure-cookie mismatch, then confirmed PASS once the container's VELODROME_ENVIRONMENT was (inadvertently, in this case) development instead. Documented in deploy/README.md as the real post-deploy check, replacing "hit /healthz and eyeball it" for anything involving auth.

bike-app
A self-hosted cycling app: syncs rides from a Bryton Rider 650, tracks mileage like Strava, and adds a spare-parts inventory and a maintenance record with mileage-milestone reminders.
Status: planning complete, no code written yet.
Why
Today the Rider 650 syncs over Bluetooth to the Bryton Active phone app, which forwards to Strava — but Active has no background sync, so you have to remember to open the app. Research found a better path that removes the phone entirely:
ride ends -> Rider 650 joins home Wi-Fi (Main Menu -> Data Sync)
-> uploads to Bryton cloud
-> this app's poller fetches the ORIGINAL FIT file
-> rides, wear tracking, and push reminders
That's also higher fidelity than the current route — Strava's API can only ever return smoothed streams, never the original file.

Planned stack
Python 3.12 / FastAPI / SQLAlchemy async / PostgreSQL 16 + PostGIS, procrastinate for jobs,
SvelteKit static SPA as an installable PWA, MapLibre GL, all behind Caddy in Docker Compose.
Source control and CI in self-hosted Gitea with an act_runner on the same box.
Four containers in v1, under 2GB RAM.
Next steps
- Verify on the Rider 650: does
Main Menu -> Data Syncupload automatically on joining Wi-Fi, or only on manual trigger? This determines how completely the phone leaves the loop. - Plug the 650 in over USB and
ls -Rthe mounted volume to confirm the real.fitpath (documented asBryton/Activities/, but worth confirming). - Grab a real
.fitfile from it and run it throughfitdecode— Bryton's encoder is not Garmin's, and the schema should be checked against reality before it's written. - Then Phase 0: scaffolding and CI (see the roadmap in
docs/PLAN.md).
