A server whose migrations or seeds never finished does not fail politely. Most
pages answer 500 and settings endpoints answer 404 for keys that were never
created, which reads as a broken application rather than an unfinished install.
One site spent a morning being debugged that way.
`shopdb-admin.ps1 repair` runs what stage 3 of the installer runs: db upgrade,
plugin upgrade-all, and the three seeds. Every step is idempotent, so running it
on a healthy server changes nothing, and each step runs independently so one
failure does not silently skip the rest.
`check` now says so before anyone has to infer it:
THIS SERVER IS NOT FULLY PROVISIONED
- seed data is missing (permissions, settings or reference data)
Most pages will answer 500 until this is fixed. Run:
shopdb-admin.ps1 repair
That needs a real test to sit on, so `flask db-utils seed-state` reports each
seed group and exits non-zero when any is missing. Verified by emptying the
settings table inside a transaction: MISSING, exit 1, rollback clean. Without it
the console check would have looked reassuring while testing nothing - an older
build with no such command reports UNKNOWN rather than healthy, for the same
reason.
