What the Sentry triage actually found

I went through all 25 unresolved issues. The headline number:

environment events (30d)
development 563
production 2

28 of the 30 unresolved issues are environment: development — one laptop, reporting into the production Sentry project. Evidence is consistent across all of them: localhost:3000/3111/3123 URLs, server_name: Kaustavs-MacBook-Pro.local, and stack frames rooted in /Users/kaustavghosh/Desktop/elluminar_web/.claude/worktrees/....

Critically, the four PrismaClientKnownRequestError groups flagged as "probably real" are not real. All carry Prisma code P2021 — "The table public.X does not exist in the current database", from agent worktrees pointed at an un-migrated local Postgres. Nothing to fix in hero-picks.ts or the storefront page; PR #78 and #80 are not implicated.

The two changes

Two independent causes let local dev reach production Sentry, and only fixing one would not have worked:

  1. A hard-coded fallback DSN in sentry.server.config.ts, sentry.edge.config.ts and src/instrumentation-client.ts. Unsetting NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN locally would not have stopped the noise — any clone reported into production regardless. Removed; an unset DSN now means "do not report".
  2. No environment was ever set, so Sentry inferred it from NODE_ENV, which cannot tell a Netlify production deploy from a PR preview. That is why LMS_WEB-J — an error on deploy-preview-72--elluminar.netlify.app — is tagged production.

Both answers now come from the existing NEXT_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_CONTEXT plumbing in src/lib/deploy-context.ts, reused rather than duplicated, in a new src/lib/sentry-env.ts:

deploy context reports? environment
production yes production
deploy-preview yes preview
branch-deploy yes branch-deploy
dev / local / unrecognised no development

Production and preview capture is unchanged — only laptops go quiet. NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_FORCE_ENABLE=true re-enables reporting locally on purpose.

sentryEnabled() is an allowlist, not !== "local", matching the showAllSurfaces() convention already in deploy-context.ts: an unrecognised or missing CONTEXT falls through to disabled, so a misconfigured build is silent rather than flooding production.

Please sanity-check one thing: removing the fallback DSN relies on NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN being set on Netlify. netlify env:list shows it present with scope All, so this should be safe — but I could only see that it is set, not its value.

The one genuinely real production error — already fixed by #79, so untouched here

LMS_WEB-4 is the only true production error in the project: Better Auth Provider not found for provider: "google", on AWS Lambda us-east-2 (Netlify), from a real user in Columbus, US.

It is a real bug. src/lib/auth/index.ts spreads socialProviders.google only when GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID and GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET are set (neither appears in the Netlify env), while src/app/(auth)/sign-in/page.tsx renders "Continue with Google" unconditionally. A real user clicked a button that could never work.

PR #79 (feat/auth-onboarding-sso) already fixes exactly this — it converts the sign-in page to a server shell passing googleEnabled={Boolean(env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID && env.GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET)}, and its own comment names the failure mode: "with no GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID the button used to render and then fail on click." I deliberately wrote no fix for it — duplicating it would conflict with #79 in src/app/(auth)/**.

Overlap with in-flight PRs

None. #77, #78, #79, #80 and #81 collectively touch zero of the files here — no Sentry config, no next.config.ts, no netlify.toml, no deploy-context.ts. Verified by diffing all five.

For the record, the contended files I explicitly stayed out of: src/lib/auth/** (#77, #79), src/lib/catalog.ts (#80), src/lib/marketing/hero-picks.ts (#78, which creates it), src/actions/course.ts (#77 and #81 — those two overlap each other in the same import block and will likely conflict once either merges).

Sentry issues I resolved

I resolved the 28 issues confirmed as local-dev noise, each with a reason recorded in its activity feed. I left both production-environment issues (LMS_WEB-4, LMS_WEB-J) unresolved.

Gates

  • tsc --noEmit — clean
  • eslint — 0 errors (3 pre-existing warnings, none in these files)
  • vitest run122 passed / 14 files, including 7 new tests in tests/unit/sentry-env.test.ts covering the production/preview/branch capture guarantee and the allowlist fallthrough

Per the repo constraint, pnpm build was not run — CI covers it. prisma generate was run locally for typecheck only (codegen, no DB connection); no database was written.

…ry project

Over the last 30 days the production Sentry project took 563 events from
`environment: development` and 2 from real deploys. Every unresolved issue but
two is a laptop: localhost URLs, `server_name: Kaustavs-MacBook-Pro.local`, and
stack frames rooted in `/Users/kaustavghosh/.../.claude/worktrees/...`. The real
signal was buried under Turbopack panics and P2021 "table does not exist" errors
from un-migrated local databases.

Two causes, both fixed here:

1. Every Sentry config fell back to a hard-coded DSN when
   NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN was unset, so *any* clone reported into production
   whatever the developer did with their .env. The fallback is gone — an unset
   DSN now means "do not report". The DSN is set on Netlify for all contexts.

2. No `environment` was set, so Sentry inferred it from NODE_ENV. That cannot
   distinguish a Netlify production deploy from a PR preview: LMS_WEB-J was a
   deploy-preview-72 error tagged `production`.

Both answers now come from the Netlify deploy context via the existing
NEXT_PUBLIC_DEPLOY_CONTEXT plumbing (src/lib/deploy-context.ts) rather than a
parallel mechanism. Production, deploy-preview and branch-deploy all still
report, each with its own `environment` tag; only laptops go quiet.
NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_FORCE_ENABLE=true re-enables reporting locally on purpose.

`sentryEnabled` is an allowlist rather than `!== "local"`, matching the existing
`showAllSurfaces` convention: an unrecognised CONTEXT falls through to disabled,
so a misconfigured build is silent instead of flooding production.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Sentry configuration now derives reporting enablement and environment labels from Netlify deployment context. Client, server, and edge initialization use the public DSN without a production fallback. Tests and environment documentation cover local, deploy, and force-enable behavior.

Changes

Sentry deployment reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deployment context helpers
src/lib/sentry-env.ts
The new helpers map Netlify contexts to Sentry environments and enable reporting only for recognized deploys or an explicit "true" override.
Sentry initialization wiring
src/instrumentation-client.ts, sentry.server.config.ts, sentry.edge.config.ts
All Sentry entry points use deployment-aware enablement and environment values. The DSN uses NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_DSN without a hard-coded fallback.
Configuration and validation
tests/unit/sentry-env.test.ts, .env.example
Tests cover deployment detection, environment labels, and strict force-enable handling. The example environment file documents the updated behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 3415e

The change disables unintended local Sentry reporting while preserving production and preview capture; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit maps each deploy with care
Production, preview, branch labels share
Local traces sleep unless set to true
The public DSN guides what Sentry may do
No fallback project appears there

Comment thread .env.example Outdated
The Sentry block claimed reporting is off locally "regardless of these",
which the NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_FORCE_ENABLE escape hatch two lines below
contradicts — and force-enable on its own still sends nothing, because
Sentry.init has no DSN fallback any more. Say both.

Comment-only change to .env.example; no behaviour change.
