Six WEB_PUSH_* names and NEXT_PUBLIC_VAPID_PUBLIC_KEY sat behind the three
real VAPID_* variables in the env fallback. None was ever on the compose
environment: whitelist and none appeared in .env.example, .env.production.example
or the env manifest, so under the bundled stack a value set under any of them
could not reach the process. Remove them and the self-hosting note that
advertised them.
One-shot prettier pass so the new format:check gate starts from a clean
baseline. Formatting only — no behaviour change. Generator-owned and
vendored artifacts stay untouched via .prettierignore.
Cover the full channel set self-hosters can run without an Apple account:
Web Push, Telegram, ntfy, the generic webhook, and email over SMTP, plus
the dispatcher cascade and graceful degradation when APNs is absent
(ntfy max priority, Web Push high urgency, webhook urgency flag).
Document the PWA path as the recommended default: install to the Home
Screen, enable Web Push, and get reminders, the taken-clears-the-reminder
behaviour, and the outstanding-dose app badge. Note the inherent limit
that the lock-screen Live Activity needs a native build.
Explain why native iOS push binds to the publisher's Apple team and walk
through running your own signed build under your own bundle ID, team, and
.p8 key, with the APNS_* env vars including APNS_CRITICAL_ENTITLEMENT.
Document the new Generate keys button in notifications.md as the easiest
Web Push setup path, demoting the CLI to an alternative. Note that
clientManaged medication-reminder suppression is an iOS-app-only contract
so a PWA-only operator does not go hunting for a web toggle.
Add the VAPID env-var names and APNS_KEY_B64 to .env.production.example
(the loader and APNs sender read them, but the example omitted them),
both as commented placeholders, with a note that Web Push needs no Apple
account and that these vars are not in the compose whitelist.
Add a Backup and restore section to getting-started.md: a local pg_dump
one-liner and the load-bearing warning that the ENCRYPTION_KEYS /
ENCRYPTION_KEY must be backed up alongside the dump or the encrypted data
is unrecoverable, cross-linking the off-host backup and key-rotation
runbooks. Add troubleshooting entries for the compose env-var whitelist
and pull_policy: always.
