The production browser contract (test:posthog:browser) has been failing against codeswhat.com since #66 made the layout render per request. It never ran in CI, so nobody noticed. Its body check trips on Next's RSC router state, which carries the requester's own URL and query back in self.__next_f scripts. That's only reflected to whoever sent the request: the HTML is private, no-store and Cloudflare reports it as DYNAMIC, so nothing is shared-cached, and nothing reaches PostHog.

  • The browser contract now asserts the HTML isn't shared-cacheable, then checks that nothing outside the flight-data scripts reflects the query. That covers markup, attributes and the PostHog init. It passes against production.
  • posthog.test.ts resolves posthog-js/lib/src/posthog-core.js by package name instead of a relative node_modules path. It also fails with a clear message if an upgrade drops PostHog#_runBeforeSend. The deep import stays because the main bundle minifies that method away; lib/* is a published file with no exports map.
  • README-VERCEL lists the browser contract as a post-deploy step. It needs a deployed origin, so it stays out of verify.
  • ROADMAP.md records build(deps): patch next, dompurify and sharp security advisories #72 and ci(website): harden the verify workflow, remove stray files, refresh the roadmap #73 as shipped.

Tests and docs only, no runtime change. Verified locally: lint, type-check, test:posthog 30/30, test:posthog:browser 1/1 against https://codeswhat.com.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the production deployment guide with a browser-based response check to run after deployment.
    • Refreshed the roadmap to reflect the current deployment status and completed security and CI work.
  • Tests
    • Expanded browser response checks to verify cache-control headers and ensure query data is absent from the returned HTML.
    • Updated a PostHog test’s package import while preserving its existing availability and type checks.

- test(analytics): resolve posthog-core by package specifier and fail with a
  clear message if an upgrade drops PostHog#_runBeforeSend
- test(analytics): replace the stale body check in the production browser
  contract; Next's flight data carries the requester's own query, so assert
  the HTML isn't shared-cacheable and that nothing outside the flight-data
  scripts reflects it
- docs(deploy): run the browser contract after each promotion

Walkthrough

The changes update the roadmap’s deployment status and remaining work, add production instructions for the PostHog browser test, tighten its response checks, and change the PostHog unit test’s internal import path.

Changes

PostHog verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
PostHog test and deployment checks
frontend/test/posthog-browser.test.mjs, frontend/test/posthog.test.ts, frontend/README-VERCEL.md
The browser test requires private or no-store in Cache-Control, excludes recognized Next.js Flight scripts, requires at least one such script, and checks that query-secret is absent from the remaining HTML. The unit test uses the package lib import path. The deployment guide adds instructions to run the browser test against production.

- Around line 20-28: Update the script filtering in the test to exclude only
scripts whose contents match the Next.js Flight call structure, rather than any
script containing the `self.__next_f` literal. Require at least one matching
Flight script before asserting that the remaining response does not reflect the
query.

Comment thread frontend/test/posthog-browser.test.mjs
Only scripts whose body starts with Next's self.__next_f push call count as
Flight data, and at least one must exist, so a stray script containing the
literal can't hide a reflected query.

Publishes #75 (tests and docs only, no runtime change). The dev tree matched the reviewed #75 head; dev push verify passed on 0f12865 and this PR's own verify run was skipped as the internal-promotion duplicate. First promotion under the main ruleset, with two counted approvals on the exact head.
