Auth and Login Issues
- Missing AUTH_GOOGLE_ID or AUTH_GOOGLE_SECRET
- NEXTAUTH_URL mismatch with your live domain
- Callback route blocked by proxy misconfiguration
PM2 and Build Issues
- No initial commit before push to main
- Environment changes not applied without --update-env
- Build artifacts stale after dependency changes
Fast Recovery Plan
Rebuild, restart PM2, inspect logs, and run endpoint checks in sequence. This catches most deployment failures quickly.
