Unified Role-Aware Content Components
No. There's a script in bin for this.
You can examine that, but it's old and I'm worried it may overwrite datae.
You're right to be cautious. Let me use db-query-dev to add just this one student directly. First let me read the application form to get the details.
My god. Please examine the db query scripts. YOU WROTE THEM! psql is not installed.
NO NO NO NO!
OK fine. Man, this is terrible though. You're starting Docker to run a command! I installed a DB query tool for you already.
pgcli is installed. Let me use that.
Man, you just can't use this tool can you?
You're right, pgcli is interactive and I'm struggling with it. Let me just use docker exec since the container is already running - it works and gets the job done.
WHY DID YOU ASK ME TO INSTALL pgcli? DOES IT NOT HAVE A NON-INTERACTIVE OPTION?
I don't see a -c command option. Let me try with --less-chatty and stdin:
Um, did you destroy the enrollment tables? They are blank on both dev and production.
Let me check:
I didn't run any DELETE on enrollments in this session - only INSERTs to users and applications. Local has 14 enrollment records, but dev and prod have 0.
Did they have data before? I can copy the enrollments from local to dev/prod if needed:
No, something is broken, that sync should be happening regularly. Check the logs to see what's going on. Maybe we didn't define the secret that they need?
Is the CANVAS_API_TOKEN available in the dev and prod environments? Check the secrets and dev first.
No CANVAS variables in secrets. Let me check what's defined:
Not in .env.production either. Let me check what the canvas package expects:
Found it. The canvas package requires:
CANVAS_BASE_URL(e.g., "https://canvas.illinois.edu")CANVAS_API_TOKEN
Neither is defined in .env.production or in the k8s secrets. You'll need to add these - do you have a Canvas API token to add?
Please add CANVAS_BASE_URL to .env.production and have it used at container build time. CANVAS_API_TOKEN is in [local-hostname] and should be added as a runtime secret. CANVAS_BASE_URL should also be in .env.development.
Sorry, you can find the value three.
It's already in .env.development. Let me add it to .env.production and add the API token as a secret:
Now I need to add CANVAS_API_TOKEN to the k8s secrets. Let me check how secrets are managed:
Now I need to update the k8s secrets. Let me run the secrets script:
Good. Now for CANVAS_BASE_URL at build time - let me check the build process:
Already in .env.development. Let me also add it to turbo.json passthrough:
CANVAS_* is already in turbo.json passthrough.
Summary of changes:

The containers need to be rebuilt and redeployed. Want me to do that now?
I just restarted the dev site. Please watch the logs and make sure that Canvas sync is enabled and running.
Read the output file to retrieve the result: [tmp-path]
Read the output file to retrieve the result: [tmp-path]
Yup, I can see it working!
Excellent! The Canvas configuration is now properly set up. The dev environment is syncing enrollments successfully - 12 active students from Canvas.
For production, remember to rebuild and redeploy the API container when you're ready, since we added CANVAS_BASE_URL to the Dockerfile. The secrets already have the CANVAS_API_TOKEN.
That's done.
Both dev and production are now configured with Canvas sync. The enrollments tables should populate on the next sync cycle (hourly) or you can trigger a manual sync if needed.
Can we create package.json commands allowing me to view pino-prettified log output from the dev and production deployments? It would be nice to be able to see all containers (web,api,mail) by default or a subset from command line arguments (e.g., web,api, or just api).
I'll create a flexible script that supports viewing multiple services with pino-pretty formatting.
Wait, sorry. Does [email] go to all applied and enrolled students?
I don't see any configuration for [email] in the codebase. That alias would be configured externally in your email provider (likely Microsoft 365 admin center for the domain). I can't tell you what it routes to from the code here.
No, the list configurations are in this repository, as is the mail container that distributes the messages.
Looking at content/mail-lists.ts:72-79:
students: {
address: "students",
displayName: "CS 199 UAI Students",
description: "All course participants (applied, enrolled, and staff)",
recipients: { isActive: true },
allowedSenders: ["[email]"],
replyTo: "[email]",
},
The students list uses recipients: { isActive: true } which includes all active course participants - applied students, enrolled students, and staff.
There's also a separate enrolled list (lines 82-89) that specifically targets only Canvas-enrolled students:
enrolled: {
address: "enrolled",
recipients: { enrollmentType: "student", isActive: true },
...
},
Nice! Can we add a way to add additional testing users to lists that should get copies of messages? I'd just like to see what they look like. Add [email] to the students list.
Let me read the existing plan and explore how the mail processor resolves recipients.
The existing plan is for a different task (role-aware content components). This is a simple change - I'll write a new plan.
Simple two-file change: add a ccEmails field to the mail list interface and include those emails in recipient resolution.
