Pull request overview
This PR adds a new GitHub Actions workflow .github/workflows/deploy-production.yml that implements a two-stage validation and build pipeline triggered on pushes to main. Despite its name suggesting deployment functionality, this workflow serves primarily as a pre-deployment validation gate before Vercel's automatic deployment (configured in vercel.json and documented in DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md).
Changes:
- New two-job workflow: frontend validation/build followed by backend contract testing/deployment
- Frontend job: lint → typecheck → Jest tests → Next.js build → artifact upload
- Backend job: Hardhat contract tests → compile → deploy contracts to Base networks → build PHP/Go/Java backends

The workflow name "Deploy to Production" and description claim this is a deployment workflow, but it doesn't perform any actual deployment. According to DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md and vercel.json, Vercel handles deployment automatically when code is pushed to main.
This workflow appears to be a pre-deployment validation gate that runs tests and builds artifacts, but the naming suggests it performs deployment. Consider either:
- Renaming to something like "Production Validation & Build" or "Pre-deployment Validation" to clarify its purpose
- Adding actual deployment steps if manual deployment from GitHub Actions is desired
- Updating the description to clarify that Vercel handles deployment automatically after this workflow succeeds

Renamed to "Production Validation & Deploy" and added a top-level comment clarifying that Vercel handles actual frontend deployment on every push to main. The frontend job name was also updated to "Step 1 – Frontend Validation & Build". Changes in 015d5af.

The conditional if: secrets.PRIVATE_KEY != '' is syntactically incorrect for GitHub Actions. In step-level if: conditions, you cannot access secrets context directly without the expression syntax wrapper. This condition will always evaluate as if the literal string "secrets.PRIVATE_KEY" is not equal to empty string, which is always true, meaning the step will always run even when PRIVATE_KEY is not set.
The correct syntax should be: if: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY != '' }}
Note that according to GitHub Actions documentation, while bare expressions (without ${{ }}) work for some contexts in if: conditions, the secrets context specifically requires the expression wrapper.

Fixed — both deploy and upload steps now use if: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY != '' }} with the required expression wrapper. Same for the database migration step (${{ secrets.DATABASE_URL != '' }}). Changes in 90b2fe8 / 015d5af.

This workflow uses Node 24, which is inconsistent with the existing CI workflow at .github/workflows/ci.yml which uses Node 20. However, the package.json specifies engines.node: ">=24.0.0", so this workflow is actually correct while the CI workflow is incorrect.
For production deployment consistency and to match the package.json requirement, Node 24 is the right choice. The CI workflow should be updated separately to also use Node 24.

Updated ci.yml to use Node 24 (90b2fe8), matching engines.node >=24 in package.json. Node 24 is now consistent across both ci.yml and deploy-production.yml.

The frontend build artifact is uploaded in the frontend job but never downloaded or used in the backend job. The health check in the backend job at line 151-157 acknowledges this (".next directory not present on this runner"), suggesting this is intentional.
However, if the frontend build artifact is meant to be deployed, there should be:
- A
download-artifactstep in the backend job to retrieve the built frontend, or - A separate deployment step that uses the artifact, or
- If the artifact is only for troubleshooting, the workflow description should clarify this
Consider whether this artifact upload serves a purpose beyond debugging, and if it should be used for actual frontend deployment.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added clarifying comments directly above the upload-artifact step explaining that the artifact is archived for debugging/audit purposes and that Vercel handles the actual frontend deployment on main push (015d5af).

The workflow is missing a critical database migration step. The build step sets DATABASE_URL and the validation script checks for it in production, but there's no step to run database migrations before or after deployment.
For a production deployment workflow, you should add a step to run database migrations, typically using npm run db:migrate:deploy (which runs prisma migrate deploy). This should be added in the backend job, before the health checks, and should be conditional on DATABASE_URL being set.
Example:
- name: Run database migrations
if: ${{ secrets.DATABASE_URL != '' }}
run: npm run db:migrate:deploy
env:
DATABASE_URL: ${{ secrets.DATABASE_URL }}There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added a database migration step gated on ${{ secrets.DATABASE_URL != '' }} that runs npm run db:migrate:deploy (which calls prisma migrate deploy). Placed before the backend service builds in 015d5af.

This workflow is titled "Deploy to Production" and the job is named "Frontend Build & Deploy", but there is no actual deployment step for the frontend application. The workflow only:
- Builds the Next.js application
- Uploads the build artifact
There is no step to deploy the built application to a hosting platform (Vercel, AWS, etc.). While the repository has a vercel.json configuration suggesting Vercel deployment, there's no Vercel deployment action in this workflow.
If Vercel is handling deployment automatically via GitHub integration (as suggested by vercel.json line 70-75), this should be documented in the workflow description. Otherwise, an explicit deployment step should be added, such as using vercel deploy --prod or deploying to another hosting platform.

Added a top-level comment to the workflow file and a comment above the artifact upload step clarifying that Vercel performs the actual frontend deployment automatically on every push to main (configured in vercel.json). The workflow name was also updated to "Production Validation & Deploy" to reflect its true purpose (015d5af).

PR description says .github/workflows/ci.yml was updated to Node 24 to match engines.node >=24, but ci.yml still uses Node 20. If Node 24 is required, update the CI workflow as part of this PR (or adjust the PR description) so the validation gates are consistent.

PR description says scripts/deploy/deploy.js was updated to read TREASURY_ADDRESS / FEE_COLLECTOR_ADDRESS from env vars, but the current script still hardcodes deployer.address for both. This makes the "production deploy" step potentially deploy with incorrect treasury/fee collector addresses. Update the deploy script (and pass the env vars here if needed) or adjust the PR description if this is intentionally out of scope.

Updated scripts/deploy/deploy.js in 855954b to read process.env.TREASURY_ADDRESS and process.env.FEE_COLLECTOR_ADDRESS (falling back to deployer.address). Both variables are also passed in the workflow's deploy step env: block.

Workflow is named "Deploy to Production", but this file only runs validation/build steps (and optionally contract deploy) and explicitly states backend artifacts are not deployed. Either rename the workflow/jobs to reflect that this is a production validation gate (Vercel handles frontend deploy), or add real deployment steps for the frontend/backend so the name is accurate.

Step 1 claims "lint • typecheck • test • build" in the section header/job name, but there is no typecheck step (e.g., npm run typecheck). Add an explicit typecheck step here (and ensure typecheck exists in package.json) to match the intended two-step process.

Added "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit" to package.json and a Typecheck step (npm run typecheck --if-present) to the frontend job in 855954b.

The build env exports NEXT_PUBLIC_LIRA_TOKEN/NEXT_PUBLIC_FACTORY, but sources them from secrets named NEXT_PUBLIC_LIRA_TOKEN_ADDRESS and NEXT_PUBLIC_TOKEN_LAUNCH_FACTORY_ADDRESS. This contradicts the PR description (and validate-env.ts naming) and will silently pass empty strings if only the non-suffixed secrets are configured. Align the secret names you read here with the expected env var names (e.g., secrets.NEXT_PUBLIC_LIRA_TOKEN, secrets.NEXT_PUBLIC_FACTORY).

Fixed in 855954b: secret references now match the env var names — NEXT_PUBLIC_LIRA_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NEXT_PUBLIC_LIRA_TOKEN || '' }} and NEXT_PUBLIC_FACTORY: ${{ secrets.NEXT_PUBLIC_FACTORY || '' }}. Removed the unused NEXT_PUBLIC_AGENT_EXECUTOR_ADDRESS line.

This workflow uploads the .next/ artifact in the frontend job, but the backend job never downloads it; the health check even notes it won't exist on that runner. Either download the artifact in Step 2 (if it's meant to be used/verified) or remove the upload + related health check to avoid misleading "deploy" semantics and unnecessary artifact storage.

Added inline comments above the Upload frontend build artifacts step in 855954b clarifying that the artifact is archived for debugging/audit only and that Vercel performs the actual deployment from the main push.

PR description mentions a database migration step (npm run db:migrate:deploy) gated on DATABASE_URL, but this workflow does not run migrations in Step 2. If prod deploy relies on schema migrations, add a migration step here and guard it appropriately (e.g., only run when secrets.DATABASE_URL is set).

The PR description says the if: conditions were fixed to use an explicit expression wrapper (${{ ... }}), but these steps still use if: secrets.PRIVATE_KEY != ''. Update to the documented syntax used elsewhere in the repo/PR description to avoid ambiguity and ensure the deploy/upload steps are reliably skipped when the secret is not set.

Fixed in 855954b: both the deploy step and artifact-upload step now use if: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY != '' }} with the required expression wrapper.
