Restores the newest PlanetScale backup of main into a throwaway branch, verifies the migrations journal, critical tables, snapshot window and a parent/child join, writes a JSON + Markdown report and deletes the branch. Runs quarterly via backup-restore-test.yml; docs/backup-and-recovery.md lists the system inventory and the compliance-platform evidence calls.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds a PlanetScale backup restore drill with safer cleanup, failure-tolerant verification, report retention, scheduled GitHub Actions execution, command wiring, and recovery documentation. ChangesBackup restore automation

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to A failed cleanup request can leave a temporary billed branch while the drill reports success. Fix this bounded cleanup failure before merge or explicitly accept the operational risk. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Line 251: Use a dedicated DELETE_TIMEOUT_MS for the deleteBranch polling
deadline instead of READY_TIMEOUT_MS, and update its timeout warning to
reference the same constant. Ensure the workflow timeout covers branch creation,
verification, cleanup, and report writing so cleanup and report generation
complete before hard termination.
- Around line 340-345: In verify(), add a local checked query helper that
records query failures in checks and returns undefined, then use it for the
newest-record, orphan-check, and sample-record queries. Guard each query’s
normal result validation so it is skipped when the wrapped query fails, allowing
verification to produce its report even when dependent tables are missing.

- delete gate: only restore-test-* branches, never the source - process exit hook re-requests the delete, since fail() skips finally - report written before the delete; separate 5-minute delete deadline - verification queries recorded as failed checks instead of crashing - no org slug, bucketed row counts, no record ids (public repo logs) - doc: production-safety notes and how to test the drill

Keep a rejected delete retryable and fail the drill.
requestDelete can return false when pscale branch delete fails without a not-found response. The branch can then remain present and incur charges. waitUntilGone runs only after requestDelete reports success and returns false when the branch is not observed gone before the timeout. These are different outcomes, but both currently become deleted: false.
Line 566 clears cleanupOwed even after a rejected request. If verification passes, the report retains status: "pass", fail() is not called, and the process exits successfully. The exit hook also does not retry. Preserve the request result, record it in the report, and fail the drill when it is false.
♻️ Proposed change: preserve the delete-request result

What
packages/db/scripts/restore-test.ts(bun run backup:restore-test): restores the newest successful PlanetScale backup ofmaininto a throwawayrestore-test-<stamp>branch, verifies it (migrations journal present, every critical table exists and the always-populated ones hold rows, newest record inside the backup's window,dashboard_versions → dashboardshas no orphans, a sample record reads with its history), writesrestore-test-report.{json,md}, deletes the branch in afinally. Non-zero exit on any failed check..github/workflows/backup-restore-test.yml: quarterly +workflow_dispatch, same Infisical/pscale setup as the orphan sweep, uploads the report as an artifact and into the job summary.docs/backup-and-recovery.md: system inventory with the recovery mechanism per system, how the drill works, and the two read-only API calls a compliance platform makes to collect backup-config and restore-proof evidence on its own schedule.planetscale-connection.ts: exportsrunPscaleso the drill reuses the existing credential broker.Why
SOC 2 / ISO 27001 backup-and-restoration control: needs backup configuration plus evidence of a successful restore at least annually. The application database is the one system whose loss is neither vendor-durable by contract nor regenerable, so it gets the first-party drill.
