What & why

An audit of every vars.* and secrets.* reference in the deploy workflows against what actually exists in GitHub. Three findings, all the same shape — configuration that claims to be needed and isn't, or is needed and isn't there.

1. MEDIA_URL_DEV never existed. deploy-preview.yml referenced it twice, and an unset variable expands to an empty string, so every preview deploy passed MEDIA_URL= and booted anyway because the schema said .optional(). The failure moved from the deploy, where it's visible, to the first attachment call. Same class as the STATIC_URL_DEV break earlier today, except STATIC_URL is required so that one failed loudly.

2. BLAXEL_REGION and BLAXEL_SANDBOX_IMAGE had been moved to secrets, but the workflows still read them as vars.*. Both are z.string().min(1), so the next deploy would have failed at boot validation. No deploy ran in the window — this was waiting to happen, not already broken.

3. NEXT_PUBLIC_SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT was referenced as a variable and has never existed as one. Optional, so it didn't fail; it quietly labelled every production Sentry event with no environment. Now a scoped secret.

MEDIA_URL is removed, not required

This started as "make MEDIA_URL required." Following the callers showed that was wrong: lib/files/tickets.ts was its only reader in this package, and nothing called either of that file's exports. mediaBaseUrl and mintFileTicket are the file-viewer work that was dropped.

Requiring an env var that no consumer reads is worse than the guard it replaced — it forces every environment to configure something unused. So the dead file, its barrel export, the schema entry, eight workflow lines, both template entries and the two environment secrets are gone.

The usercontent Worker keeps its own MEDIA_URL from wrangler.jsonc vars. That was never the same variable.

Also

• USERCONTENT_URL and USERCONTENT_TOKEN_SECRET are now genuinely required, and the three .optional() + if (!env.X) throw guards they existed to satisfy are deleted. That pairing is required-in-disguise, which docs/environment-variables.md already warns against.
• usercontentBaseUrl() and ticketSecret() were wrappers whose entire body became return env.X once the guards came out. Their five call sites read env directly now.
• signFileTicket is deliberately left: its verifying half is still live in the Worker's media route, and deleting one side of that pair is a larger decision than this PR.

How I tested it

• bun run typecheck, bun run lint, bun run --cwd packages/i18n check — all pass.
• bun test packages/trpc packages/shared — 1041 pass, 0 fail.
• Audited every vars.* reference against existing variables, and every secrets.* reference against existing repo/Production/Preview secrets. Both come back clean; before this they did not.
• Verified MEDIA_URL has zero remaining references in workflows before deleting its secrets.

The preview deploys on this PR are the live check: USERCONTENT_URL and USERCONTENT_TOKEN_SECRET are now required, so a secret that failed to resolve would fail the deploy rather than surface later.

Known gap

Preview media still won't serve. The dev Worker answers on a single workers.dev host and apps/usercontent/src/index.ts:218 splits media from frame by hostname. Separate work, and now largely moot for the API since nothing mints file tickets.

Checklist

• PR title follows conventional commits (type(scope): subject)
• bun run lint and bun run typecheck pass (CI fails on lint warnings too)
• "Allow edits from maintainers" is checked on fork PRs

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now requires user content configuration at startup. Page and thumbnail routes use the validated user content URL directly. Deployment workflows source required settings from GitHub secrets and remove MEDIA_URL.

Changes

User content configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime configuration and URL handling packages/trpc/src/env.ts, packages/trpc/src/lib/files/*, packages/trpc/src/router/page/*	The server requires USERCONTENT_URL and USERCONTENT_TOKEN_SECRET. The MEDIA_URL schema and file ticket helpers were removed. Page and thumbnail operations use env.USERCONTENT_URL directly.
Deployment secret wiring .github/workflows/deploy-preview.yml, .github/workflows/deploy-production.yml, .env.example	Preview and production workflows source user content, Sentry, and Blaxel settings from GitHub secrets. MEDIA_URL mappings and environment template entries were removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6f879

The PR corrects deployment configuration, makes required user-content settings fail fast when missing, and removes an unused media path. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Align the preview media Worker with the preview API.

The preview workflow uses superset-private-dev and USERCONTENT_TOKEN_SECRET_DEV, but it does not deploy apps/usercontent. The production Worker uses superset-private and its own USERCONTENT_TOKEN_SECRET. If preview MEDIA_URL targets that Worker, preview tickets may fail validation and preview uploads may be unreadable. Configure a matching preview Worker or target a Worker with the preview bucket and secret.
