Description

Task

A second maintainer can restart Heroku dynos for production (opencreorg) — the “restart the server” easy-fix — using the continuity runbook.

Success criteria

  • Dry-run or real restart recorded: heroku ps before/after, which process types (web / worker / both)
  • Homepage https://www.opencre.org/ returns HTTP 200 (or next runbook named if not)
  • Followed docs/continuity/runbooks/restart-production.md (skill continuity-restart-production)
  • No secrets in comments

Context

  • Procfile: web gunicorn, worker cre.py --start_worker
  • Prefer restart before rollback if the current release was previously healthy

Constraints

  • existing maintainers only
  • Confirm app name before heroku ps:restart (default opencreorg, not tmp-cre)
  • Do not rollback, deploy, or change config in this ticket

Agent prompt

See Agent prompt in docs/continuity/runbooks/restart-production.md.

Research direction

Read docs/continuity/runbooks/restart-production.md and its Agent prompt first, then check Procfile for the web and worker process types. Follow the runbook for the confirmed Heroku app, record heroku ps before and after, verify the homepage returns HTTP 200, and ensure no secrets are included.
