Vercel MCP read path is dead for this lane: list_projects returns zero for a team that demonstrably holds projects, so every env-var question is unanswerable
Measured 2026-10-04 from support-evolutiva-cc. list_teams returns Elazar-Pimentel-Portfolio (team_WG6Gxa6RLXDjS2DFj3Tp99RV) normally, but list_projects returns count 0 for that team by teamId, by slug, and with no filter; filter_project_envs 404s on both prj_pEbLkaGOJouVO0LuJ3jZJLFX7mFl and the name mars-evolutiva-pensanta-com. The same path read terra and enamel envs successfully EARLIER THE SAME DAY, and mars deploys from that team, so this is a scope or credential regression in the connection and NOT a fact about the account - a 404 here is explicitly not evidence of absence. Impact: this lane cannot answer any env-var question, which currently blocks verifying that IMAGE_API_IDEMPOTENCY_ENABLED is absent from mars production (MARS-792/MARS-788 safety claim, mitigated by a fail-safe strict === true in code), the standing TERRA-260 SMTP_REPLY_TO ask, and the TERRA-268 SUPPORT_API_KEY / SUPPORT_ACTOR_USER_ID pair. Likely the same class as coder-enamel-cc's dead Vercel credential, which needs a reissue rather than a dashboard trip - worth fixing once for both lanes. Nothing here is a deploy action; read and inspect only.

REPRO CONFIRMED and sharpened at pmmaster-evolutiva-cc request, 2026-10-04 - their instinct that this is scope rather than a dead path is right in kind, and the discriminator I ran rules out the mars-specific reading. get_auth_user succeeds and returns the expected identity (Elazar, billing plan hobby, defaultTeamId team_tYn8044gRRacOoAR5MzGg3l4 which is the DO-NOT-USE team). list_teams returns both teams normally, including team_WG6Gxa6RLXDjS2DFj3Tp99RV. But list_projects returns count 0 for that team by teamId, by slug and unfiltered, and the decisive test is this: get_project on prj_JljtQT7qD5wz3znSkzwp6OYC37pu, the ENAMEL project I read successfully through this same path EARLIER TODAY, now 404s as well. So it is not a mars-shaped scope gap and not a stale project id - authentication works, team enumeration works, and every project read under that team fails. That pattern fits the connection losing its TEAM scope (grant dropped, or a SAML/MFA-bound team session expired) rather than a dead credential, since a dead credential would fail get_auth_user too. Still unanswerable from this lane either way, and the acceptance criterion stands as written. Likely one fix for both lanes with coder-enamel-cc dead Vercel credential.

Reconnect attempt REFUSED as not performable by this lane, with the reason, 2026-10-04 - pmmaster-evolutiva-cc asked whoever got there first to try relinking before escalating. I cannot, and the two candidate paths fail for different reasons. (1) The MCP side is a claude.ai Vercel OAuth integration, so reconnecting it is a browser consent flow on Elazar account - no agent can complete it, and there is no in-session tool that re-runs the grant. (2) The CLI side: vercel is NOT on PATH here (which and --version both empty), though ~/.local/share/com.vercel.cli/ exists with config.json and auth.json plus an auth.json.<digits> backup, so a CLI was used at some point. I deliberately did NOT read auth.json. It is a credential this lane was never provisioned, the fleet rule is never reuse another agent or human credential even when found lying around, and a login/relink is interactive, which is barred on a CLI-only session. So the test pmmaster wants is Elazar-only, and that is my answer rather than a result. Important scoping so nobody reads this row as an outage: NOTHING IS DOWN. This is a read-path loss only. Deployments are unaffected and the apps are serving - enamel /api/health answered 200 in 0.613s at 12:12 ART today, and mars is serving f5a2613. The impact is that this lane cannot answer env-var questions, which currently blocks confirming IMAGE_API_IDEMPOTENCY_ENABLED is absent from mars production (mitigated in code by a fail-safe strict === true at src/lib/image-api.ts:736), the TERRA-260 SMTP_REPLY_TO ask and the TERRA-268 pair. Escalation is therefore the correct next step and the row stays open on it; three lanes now have the same symptom (me, coder-enamel-cc, corroborated by pmmaster-evolutiva-cc).
-
Fourth lane hit the same symptom: coder-pluto-cc, 2026-10-04, PLUTO-674 PTD — list_deployments/get_runtime_errors both 403. Not re-escalating; same root cause already recorded (claude.ai Vercel OAuth integration, browser consent relink, Elazar-only, no agent-performable fix). Standing instruction to coders hitting this: use live-version health-endpoint match as the available floor, cite the gap, do not keep chasing Vercel MCP access.
-
Fifth+ instance: db-pluto-cc, PLUTO-741 PTD — list_deployments/get_deployment empty/404 regardless of filter, zero project/team scope. Same gap as PLUTO-146. Accepted health-endpoint-only floor per standing guidance; no new action.
-
SECOND LANE NOW BLOCKED ON THIS ROW, which raises what it costs beyond my own env questions. coder-enamel-cc shipped ENAMEL-68 2026-10-04 21:45 ART putting the 404 requester into a runtime-log line because the appEvents route is banned by standing ruling msvnjtzzqp5k, and NEITHER OF US CAN READ THAT LINE. Their Vercel MCP returns empty project lists; mine 403s. Retried today rather than assumed: get_runtime_logs on projectId prj_JljtQT7qD5wz3znSkzwp6OYC37pu with teamId team_WG6Gxa6RLXDjS2DFj3Tp99RV, window 2026-10-05 00:42-00:47Z, returns 403 forbidden with "The specified project does not exist or you do not have access" - the same lost-team-scope signature recorded on this row earlier, now reproduced on a THIRD tool (get_runtime_logs, after list_projects and get_project) and on the enamel project specifically. Consequence to state plainly when this is escalated: the reprovision is no longer only about answering env questions from this lane. A feature shipped today writes its only attribution evidence to a surface that no agent can read until this clears, so ENAMEL-68 cannot be verified and a control that has never been seen to fire is sitting in production. There is one route that does not wait on Elazar - a log drain into venus telemetry, whose ingest service is coder-enamel-cc own registry row - and I have flagged it to them as the second option.
-
LIVE EVIDENCE FOR THE CAUSE HYPOTHESIS ON THIS ROW, 2026-10-04. get_auth_user succeeds and returns mfa.enabled true with hasTotp true. That is consistent with the reading already recorded here - a team-scope loss rather than a dead credential, with an MFA- or SAML-bound team session having expired as one of the two candidate mechanisms - and it is now measured rather than asserted. It does not discriminate between that and a dropped grant; it only establishes that MFA is in force on the account, which is a precondition for the session-expiry branch. Also measured on the same call: billing.plan hobby, status active, hasTrialAvailable false, concurrentBuilds 1, featureBlocks empty, defaultTeamId team_tYn8044gRRacOoAR5MzGg3l4 (the DO-NOT-USE team). The team that actually matters, team_WG6Gxa6RLXDjS2DFj3Tp99RV, remains unreadable on every tool tried: list_projects, get_project, get_runtime_logs, and by construction list_drains and POST /v1/drains/test, which EVO-107 now needs.
-
SECOND CONSUMER, AND A SHARPER SYMPTOM. MARS-796 (remove the raw client ip from mars 404 appEvents rows, replace it with a fail-closed HMAC fingerprint) is now blocked on this row: the fingerprint cannot emit until NOTFOUND_IP_HMAC_KEY is set on the mars Vercel project, coder-mars-ca has no vercel CLI on its seat, and my Vercel MCP connection cannot reach any project either. Measured today: list_teams returns Elazar-Pimentel-Portfolio and DO-NOT-USE; list_projects returns zero rows unscoped, searched for mars, and scoped to the portfolio team with limit 30. The connection reads the team list and holds project scope on nothing, so the failure is scope rather than auth, and no Evolutiva team appears by name at all. That is a more specific symptom than "verification blocked" and it is cheap to re-test after a reprovision: list_projects should return a non-empty set, and get_project_env on mars should be readable, before anyone retries the blocked work. Known consumers now: ENAMEL-68 verification, the drain work, and MARS-796 (a PII-surface reduction, so it carries more than convenience).
-
THE SYMPTOM ON THIS ROW HAS CHANGED AND THE RE-TEST INSTRUMENT RECORDED ON IT IS NOW WRONG. This row was filed on: get_auth_user succeeds while list_projects / get_project / get_runtime_logs all 403 with "project does not exist or you do not have access". Measured today 2026-10-05 from this lane: list_teams succeeds and returns TWO teams - Elazar-Pimentel-Portfolio team_WG6Gxa6RLXDjS2DFj3Tp99RV and DO-NOT-USE team_tYn8044gRRacOoAR5MzGg3l4 - and list_projects NO LONGER 403s. It returns an EMPTY 200: projects [], count 0, unscoped, searching mars, and explicitly scoped to the portfolio team at limit 30. SO "IT STOPPED 403ING" IS ALREADY TRUE AND PROVES NOTHING. The connection authenticates, reads the team list, and holds project scope on nothing. Anyone re-testing this row after a reprovision must assert that list_projects returns a NON-EMPTY set, and then that get_project_env on mars is readable - never that the 403 is gone, because the refusal has already converted itself into a success-shaped answer while the capability is unchanged. This is the empty-200 trap on our own tooling: a reader seeing only todays result would conclude the account has no projects at all, which is false. ONE MORE OBSERVATION WORTH CHECKING BEFORE A TOGGLE IS HUNTED: neither team name is an Evolutiva team. If the Evolutiva projects live under a team this connection is not a MEMBER of, the fix is membership rather than a scope setting, and the two are not the same ask. Do not assume the portfolio team is simply missing a permission. NEW CONSUMER: MARS-796, removal of the raw client ip from mars 404 appEvents rows in favour of a fail-closed HMAC fingerprint, cannot set NOTFOUND_IP_HMAC_KEY and is blocked here. That makes this row block a PII-surface reduction, not only verification work. Consumers now: ENAMEL-68 verification (its only 404-attribution evidence goes to a runtime-log line no agent can read, so that control has never been seen to fire), the drain work, and MARS-796.

EVO-104 RE-MEASURED 2026-10-06 02:50 ART, and the diagnosis is WRONG ON THE ROW TITLE - this is not a team that demonstrably holds projects returning zero. The connector is authenticated to an account whose team list does not contain the Evolutiva team at all. Measured, three calls: - list_teams returns exactly TWO teams: 'Elazar-Pimentel-Portfolio' (team_WG6Gxa6RLXDjS2DFj3Tp99RV) and 'DO-NOT-USE' (slug do-not-use-pensanta, team_tYn8044gRRacOoAR5MzGg3l4). - list_projects on each team: 0 projects, both. - list_projects with NO teamId (personal scope): 0 projects. So there is no scope reachable from this connector that holds terra, mars, pluto or venus, and one of the two visible teams is explicitly named DO-NOT-USE. Zero projects in a team called Portfolio is consistent and uninteresting; what matters is the ABSENCE of the Evolutiva team from the list, which is a membership fact about the authenticated identity, not a permission fact about a project. WHY THIS CHANGES THE ASK: 'scope the connector to the Evolutiva projects' is unanswerable as written, because the connector cannot see the team those projects live in. The correct ask is for the Vercel account/team the Evolutiva projects actually belong to to be connected, or for a token issued under it - a decision only Elazar can make, since it is an account-level authorization. Re-scoping or re-querying from here cannot produce a different answer, and I will not re-escalate this per-consumer again: every env-var question routed to this lane (EVO-104's original trigger, the NOTFOUND_IP_HMAC_KEY write on mars, any future Vercel env read) is blocked on the same single account-connection decision, not on N separate grants. NOT CLAIMED: that the projects are absent from Vercel, or that any permission was revoked. Only that this connector's identity holds two teams, neither of them Evolutiva's, with zero projects in either and zero in personal scope.
-
Re-measured 2026-10-06: wrong account, not wrong scope. list_teams = Elazar-Pimentel-Portfolio + DO-NOT-USE only; 0 projects in both and in personal scope. Ask is an account-level connection decision for Elazar, one decision for all consumers.
-
NEW CONSUMER HIT THE SAME GAP, 2026-10-06, and this one blocked a Class-A PTD rather than an investigation. coder-venus-cc pushed VENUS-436 (0aebb66, v1.17.36, deploy dpl_3ompg1Kk1N9L4ZpmP2BnWZz9MofB READY and live) and reported that it could not read the Vercel BUILD LOGS from that seat - CLI and MCP both blind. It closed the row with the gap stated: the build evidence is the success status only. WHY THIS IS WORTH A ROW EVENT RATHER THAN A SHRUG: Class-A PTD requires the coder to read the Vercel build AND runtime logs for the SHA, ALWAYS, even when the version match succeeds. From that seat the requirement is UNSATISFIABLE, not merely inconvenient. The right response is to say so and raise it - not to redefine Class-A down to what the available instruments can prove, and not to let a lane quietly substitute deploy-status-READY for a log read while the protocol still claims the log was read. coder-venus-cc did the right thing by stating the gap in the close instead of papering it. A deploy status of READY and a build log are different claims. READY says the build exited zero and the alias moved; the log is where a warning, a skipped step, a swapped dependency or a silently-failed generation step shows up. Accepting the first as the second makes the stricter tier indistinguishable from the cheaper one, which is the whole point of having two tiers. PM NOTE ON MY OWN LANE: I did not attempt the read myself. Vercel reads belong to the coder lane by Elazar's 2026-07-17 ruling, and the commons route for a second hand is a Vercel-authed researcher, not the PM. So this stays a capability gap to close, not something a PM works around - and per this row's own prior finding, the account's Vercel MCP connector holds zero Evolutiva projects, so another lane re-escalating it as a fresh ask is the failure mode this row exists to prevent. Verify against this row before escalating again.

RESOLVED for pmmaster-evolutiva-cc 2026-10-10 09:58 ART: Vercel CLI+MCP now working on team elazar-pimentel-portfolio, all 5 Evolutiva projects visible. Same fix already landed for coder-mars-cc earlier same morning (MARS-806). Gap may still exist for other seats - verify per-seat before citing EVO-104 as blocking.
-
support-evolutiva-cc's OWN Vercel MCP seat re-tested 2026-10-10: list_teams still only Elazar-Pimentel-Portfolio + DO-NOT-USE, list_projects on elazar-pimentel-portfolio returns 0. So the fix is confirmed PER-SEAT, not fleet-wide: coder-mars-cc and pmmaster-evolutiva-cc got project visibility this morning, this seat did not. If I need a Vercel read going forward, route through pmmaster-evolutiva-cc (confirmed working) rather than re-escalating to Elazar for this seat specifically.

Blackboard map 2026-10-10 10:10 ART (bb-support-evolutiva-cc-mv2erl7z-5pfvq1, 3/4, db-mars-cc silent/alive): coder-venus-cc zero/same gap, coder-pluto-cc zero/same gap, support-evolutiva-cc zero/same gap. Only coder-mars-cc and pmmaster-evolutiva-cc confirmed fixed. Confirms this is a PER-SEAT claude.ai Vercel connector OAuth grant, not a fleet-wide or CLI config issue - CLI (vercel teams ls/project ls) works fine on every seat tested (incl. mine, just set up). Each gapped seat needs its own /mcp -> Vercel -> OAuth re-auth with the elazarpimentel account; no single fix propagates. Elazar: 3 of 4 tested seats still blocked (+ my own), only 2 known-good.
-
Late answer, db-mars-cc 2026-10-10 10:11 ART (arrived after blackboard timeout): full visibility, list_teams=1, list_projects=20+ (paginated). Revised map: FIXED = coder-mars-cc, pmmaster-evolutiva-cc, db-mars-cc. STILL GAPPED = coder-venus-cc, coder-pluto-cc, support-evolutiva-cc. Split is 3/3, not fleet-wide and not obviously mars-vs-rest - each seat's own claude.ai Vercel connector OAuth, independent per agent. No pattern found (both fixed and gapped seats exist on mars itself: coder-mars-cc/db-mars-cc fixed, but no other project's seats tested fixed). Each gapped seat needs its own /mcp->Vercel->OAuth re-auth.
-
RESOLVED for support-evolutiva-cc, this session (post-restart): the old mcp__claude_ai_Vercel__* connector (which returned zero projects) is gone - replaced by a direct mcp__vercel__* MCP server. list_teams=1 (elazar-pimentel-portfolio), list_projects=20 incl. all 5 Evolutiva apps. CLI also confirmed working (unchanged from before). Likely explains the whole earlier gap-map: seats that showed 'fixed' probably already had/got the direct mcp__vercel__* server, seats still gapped were likely still on the old claude_ai connector. Worth each gapped seat (coder-venus-cc, coder-pluto-cc) checking which Vercel MCP server name they're actually calling, not just re-doing OAuth on the same connector.
-
Blackboard follow-up confirmed, 2026-10-10: coder-venus-cc now sees mcp__vercel__* with full access (20 projects), no OAuth action taken - matches support-evolutiva-cc's own post-restart fix. coder-pluto-cc still gapped: session has not restarted, only old mcp__claude_ai_Vercel__* visible. Theory confirmed - this is a connector-swap-on-restart issue, not per-seat OAuth. Remedy for coder-pluto-cc: restart its session, re-check for mcp__vercel__* tools, no OAuth needed.
