David debugged: Investigated why his own signup had no candidates or calendar events
David discovered his own test signup was broken, with no lecture notes candidates and no kerra-created calendar events, and asked agents to trace the full bootstrap sequence.
David ran a first-person test and immediately hit the broken bootstrap.
go onto the production db and find out why my signup that i just did at around 2:30pm-ish SAST still doesnt have any lecture notes candidates showing on my university app home page, nor do i have any kerra created events in the calendar UI? what is going on? isnt monitor tlr/module planner/calendar agents meant to run for the fail open 6 courses during phase 1? has the calendar agents for those fail 6 courses run? did the monitor tlr for those 6 courses run? did the module planner run? if not why?
The investigation found bogus events in onboarding_run_events from a previous signup attempt, which had tripped the circuit breaker. David chose to delete the bogus events and investigate the root cause without re-triggering bootstrap — prioritising production data integrity over getting his own account fixed fast.
