How can I make sure our production database is stable — since it is shared with preview, and since Replit can change it anytime without telling me? Do I have to move it off Replit? Many of you have ideas here — thank you!! We will see! But in many ways, the second issue, which is related, is the biggest one. #2. How can I get Replit to honor a code freeze? So far — no one has an answer here. I tried the extremely extensive (and borderline alarming) prompt Claude suggested. That worked — until it didn’t. Once Replit realizes it can get away without honoring the code freeze, it immediately stops asking for permission to just write and overwrite code. Every. Single. Time. It starts off complying, and then when it sees it gets some slack, it always stops. No matter what. No one has proposed a solution here that works. None of you, no one from Replit, no one. I’m worried this, somehow, is unsolveable. And if it is, I have to branch everything and guard everything in production jealously. Because Replit will go change it. Even our production database. No matter what I tell it to do. That my friends, is the great mystery of the week. Peace Out. I want to take a break. But I bet you, as fried as I am … I’ll be back at it by 8am on Saturday.
