+# Convoy: catalog-sync-vercel-cron
+
+Scheduled catalog freshness via **Vercel Cron** (not GitHub Actions — operator
+preference: already on Vercel paid plan; avoids GitHub Actions minute limits).
+
+## Why
+
+The Perfect Order Seel scan failure (2026-05-27) exposed a catalog gap: Layer 1
+matched the name "Seel" against nine *old* printings because **Perfect Order is
+not in the database**. `card_submissions` now bridges unknown cards for admin
+review, but scanning still degrades until new sets are imported.
+
+Today catalog updates are **fully manual**:
+
+- Admin UI at `/admin/card-import` (MTG + Pokémon only; set code typed by hand)
+- One-off scripts (`import-popular-sets.js`, `bulk-import-all.js`) with **static**
+  set lists
+- Lorcana import uses a **hardcoded** `setCodeMap` in `import-lorcana.js`
+
+There is no scheduled job. `scripts/README.md` documents "import new sets as they
+release" as the ongoing process — easy to forget.
+
+## Operator decision (2026-05-27)
+
+- **Scheduler:** Vercel Cron hitting a protected API route on the production
+  deployment (or a dedicated Preview with prod DB — architect decides at gate-1).
+- **Not GitHub Actions cron** — operator prefers Vercel to stay within GitHub
+  Actions free-tier limits.
+- **Timing:** Build **after** scanner pipeline convoys land (see `blocked_by_policy`
+  above). Scanner correctness + UX (#4–#6 in the scanner audit portfolio) take
+  priority.
+
+## Scope
+
+### In scope
+
+1. **Extract shared import logic** from `pages/api/cards/import-mtg.js` and
+   `pages/api/cards/import-pokemon.js` into `lib/card-import/` (or similar) so
+   cron, admin UI, and scripts call one code path. Idempotent skips preserved
+   (MTG: `scryfall_id`; Pokémon: existing duplicate checks).
+
+2. **Set discovery (delta sync)**
+   - **MTG:** Scryfall `GET /sets` — compare `code` + release date against
+     `SELECT DISTINCT set_code FROM cards WHERE game = 'MTG'`.
+   - **Pokémon:** Pokémon TCG API `GET /v2/sets` — compare `id` against catalog;
+     filter to sets released in the last N days or not yet present in DB.
+   - **Lorcana:** Out of scope for v1 automation unless Lorcast set list is
+     fetched dynamically; v1 may log "manual Lorcana map update required" and skip.
+
+3. **Protected cron endpoint** — e.g. `GET /api/cron/sync-catalog` or
+   `POST /api/admin/sync-catalog`:
+   - Authenticate via `CRON_SECRET` header (Vercel Cron
+     [securing cron jobs](https://vercel.com/docs/cron-jobs/manage-cron-jobs#securing-cron-jobs)
+     pattern) — **not** JWT admin session.
+   - Reuse or bypass `checkImportRateLimit` thoughtfully: cron is a single
+     system actor; may need a dedicated limiter class or internal-only bypass with
+     hard cap on sets per run (e.g. max 3 sets/run, 1s delay between sets).
+   - Never expose unauthenticated bulk INSERT into `cards`.
+
+4. **`vercel.json` cron schedule** — weekly default (e.g. `0 6 * * 1` UTC);
+   `workflow_dispatch`-equivalent: manual hit with `CRON_SECRET` for on-demand runs.
+
+5. **Observability**
+   - Minimum: structured console log + HTTP 200 body with `{ imported, skipped,
+     errors, setsProcessed }`.
+   - Nice-to-have (v1.1): `catalog_sync_runs` migration (`started_at`, `finished_at`,
+     `sets_imported`, `error_json`).
+
+6. **Docs** — update `scripts/README.md` § "For Ongoing Management" to point at
+   cron + manual override via admin UI.
+
+### Out of scope (v1)
+
+- Auto-promoting `card_submissions` when a matching set import completes (follow-up
+  convoy `reconcile-submissions-after-catalog-sync`).
+- Hourly sync (weekly is sufficient for TCG release cadence).
+- Full `bulk-import-all.js` replacement or re-import of historical sets.
+- GitHub Actions scheduled workflow (explicitly rejected by operator).
+- Running import jobs ad-hoc against prod without pacing (AGENTS.md no-go: rate limits).
+
+## Proposed architecture
+
+```
+Vercel Cron (weekly)
+  → GET /api/cron/sync-catalog  (+ Authorization: Bearer $CRON_SECRET)
+    → discoverNewSets('mtg' | 'pokemon')
+    → for each missing set (max N per run):
+        → importSetFromScryfall(code) / importSetFromPokemonTcg(id)
+        → delay 1–3s (respect upstream + existing import rate limits)
+    → return summary JSON
+```
+
+**Env vars (new):**
+
+| Var | Purpose |
+| --- | --- |
+| `CRON_SECRET` | Vercel Cron auth header; rotate via Vercel dashboard |
+| `POKEMON_TCG_API_KEY` | If not already set — Pokémon API key for set discovery |
+
+**Existing vars reused:** `POSTGRES_URL`, Scryfall needs no key.
+
+## Roles invoked
+
+1. `role-architect` — gate-1: cron auth shape, rate-limit policy, Lorcana v1 stance,
+   sets-per-run cap.
+2. `role-implementer` — brief 1 (lib extract + cron route + vercel.json); brief 2
+   (discovery + docs) if split.
+3. `role-reviewer` — post-PR.
+
+## Todos
+
+- [ ] Architect: ratify cron auth, import rate-limit bypass/cap, schedule cadence
+- [ ] Extract `lib/card-import/mtg.js` + `lib/card-import/pokemon.js`
+- [ ] Implement set discovery + delta diff
+- [ ] Add `/api/cron/sync-catalog` + `vercel.json` cron entry
+- [ ] Document operator setup (`CRON_SECRET`, manual trigger, monitoring)
+- [ ] Smoke: one dry-run against staging Neon branch
+
+## Operator action required (at ship time)
+
+1. Set `CRON_SECRET` in Vercel project env (generate: `openssl rand -base64 32`).
+2. Confirm Pokémon TCG API key is present if set discovery uses authenticated endpoints.
+3. After first cron run, spot-check Vercel function logs + `cards` row count for a
+   known recent set.
+4. Optional: alert on cron failure (Vercel log drain / email) — not required for v1.
+
+## Relationship to scanner work
+
+| Scanner deliverable | How catalog sync helps |
+| --- | --- |
+| `card_submissions` queue (shipped) | Safety net when sync hasn't run yet |
+| Disambiguation + "not listed" (in progress) | UX when catalog is stale |
+| **This convoy** | Reduces stale-catalog frequency at the source |
+
+Queue **after** `redesign-scanner-flow`, `scanner-correctness-polish`, and
+`rename-collections-vocabulary` unless operator reprioritizes.
+
+## Follow-up convoys (not v1)
+
+- **`reconcile-submissions-after-catalog-sync`** — when a set import lands, auto-match
+  pending `card_submissions` with matching `ocr_payload` set/name/number.
+- **`lorcana-dynamic-set-discovery`** — replace hardcoded `setCodeMap` in
+  `import-lorcana.js`.
+- **`catalog-sync-runs-table`** — migration for audit trail if console logs prove
+  insufficient.
+
+## Test plan
+
+- Unit: set-diff logic (mock DB rows vs mock API set list).
+- Integration (staging): cron endpoint with `CRON_SECRET` imports one known small set;
+  second run skips all (idempotent).
+- Manual: verify admin `/admin/card-import` still works after lib extraction.

+### Catalog freshness (deferred — post-scanner)
+
+- **`catalog-sync-vercel-cron`** (priority: P2 infra / data hygiene;
+  **deferred until scanner pipeline convoys finish**). Operator decision
+  2026-05-27: use **Vercel Cron** (not GitHub Actions) for weekly delta sync of
+  new MTG + Pokémon sets. Motivation: Perfect Order Seel scan showed the catalog
+  has no row for unreleased/unimported sets; `card_submissions` is the safety net
+  but does not replace keeping `cards` current. v1 scope: extract shared import
+  logic from `import-mtg` / `import-pokemon`, discover missing sets via Scryfall +
+  Pokémon TCG API `/sets`, protected `/api/cron/sync-catalog` with `CRON_SECRET`,
+  `vercel.json` weekly schedule, paced imports respecting upstream rate limits.
+  Lorcana auto-discovery deferred (hardcoded `setCodeMap` today). **Do not start
+  until** `redesign-scanner-flow`, `scanner-correctness-polish`, and in-flight
+  scanner fixes (catalog-gap disambiguation, foil vision) are merged — operator
+  explicitly requested finishing scanner work first. Convoy:
+  `.convoys/catalog-sync-vercel-cron.md`.
+
 ## Self-analytics
 
 After each convoy, `scripts/log-convoy-event.sh` emits a record to `.convoys/.metrics.jsonl` (gitignored). After 3-5 convoys, run the upstream `agent-pipeline/analytics/` aggregator to see where token spend goes — that data feeds whether to add or remove rules.
