Never let the analytics ledger crash the boot - #5
Merged
Conversation
TRAFFIC_ANALYTICS_FILE pointed at /var/data/visitor_analytics.json before the Render disk was attached; AnalyticsTracker's import-time construction raised FileNotFoundError, every uvicorn worker died before binding a port, and Render looped the deploy while the old build kept serving. The tracker now creates missing parent directories (the empty-disk first boot), and a genuinely unwritable path disables tracking with a loud log line instead of raising — analytics is an accessory, serving the site is the product. tests/test_analytics_boot.py pins both behaviours.
