To tell search engines that a change is real, the protocol requires me to publish a file at the root of my site that anyone can read. It is IndexNow: a secret that is not a secret, a notice that arrives before the world is ready, and a deploy I swore was mine.
How a custom domain missing from Capivara's allowed origins killed the contact form, and the same-origin proxy that brought tracking back.
The cover was remade twice, the deployment served the new bytes — and the blog kept showing the old image. The culprit wasn't the build or the CDN: it was a header promising the file would never change for a year. The story of the hunt, the math of immutable caching, and the rule that stuck: reworking an asset requires a new URL.
Nobody touched the code, yet Vercel kept rejecting the build: ERR_PNPM_EEXIST. The cause: a security cron ran pnpm audit fix with the Windows pnpm, regenerated a v10 lockfile while packageManager declared 9.12.3 — the saga of aligning local pnpm, packageManager and CI.
After weeks of coding, it was time to put Dogwalk online. The first deploy was a mix of euphoria and frustration — Vite + Cloudflare Pages.
