Development Deployment Failed - Manual Intervention Required

[github-actions]

Deployment Failure Alert

Time: 2026-03-13T10:14:32.502Z
Branch: forestgeo-app-development
Commit: 298f31e
Workflow Run: https://github.com/Smithsonian/ForestGEO/actions/runs/23038151639

What Happened

The deployment failed. An app restart was attempted but this only helps with transient issues, not code-level problems.

Recommended Actions

1. Check the workflow logs
2. Check Azure Portal for the app service status and logs
3. Verify the app is running by logging in and testing functionality
4. To roll back: push the last known good commit to the forestgeo-app-development branch

Note: The health endpoint requires authentication (Azure Easy Auth) and cannot be checked externally.

Manual Recovery

# Roll back to a previous good commit
git push origin <good-commit-sha>:forestgeo-app-development --force-with-lease

# Or restart the app (only helps with transient failures)
az webapp restart -g ForestGEO-ResourceGroup -n forestgeo-development
