Decisions and Defaults

This page collects the defaults that actually matter when reading the rest of the docs.

Current Defaults

Beacon Pulse is the active product area. Beacon Search is still a placeholder.
The public worker hosts both the public Pulse experience and the admin shell.
The ingest worker owns heavy admin APIs, background processing, media analysis, replay, and scheduled repair jobs.
Public Pulse endpoints default to community=ihouse-nyc and source=ihouse-main-whatsapp-group when those parameters are omitted.
Weekly summaries use a Sunday-start week and are generated only when a week has at least 3 days of data or 20 total messages.
Admin auth is enforced in code on both workers, with Cloudflare Access still recommended at the edge.
Daily summaries are public in the current checked-in public-worker config.
Raw-export cleanup is implemented in code with default targets of 72 hours after success and 168 hours after failure when delete-after-processing is enabled.
/presign still exists, but it is not the main admin upload path.
Replay-from-raw workflows only work while the raw object still exists in R2.

Some older docs and visible footer copy still say raw data is deleted after 30 days. That is not the current code default.
Older docs describe top-level admin tabs that no longer exist. The current UI uses grouped sidebar sections.
Older docs describe daily summaries as private-by-default. That is not true of the current public-worker config.
daily_digests and weekly_summaries_public had a PK/index mismatch where source_id was missing from the primary key (added via ALTER TABLE only). Fixed by migration fix_daily_digests_weekly_summaries_pk.sql on 2026-04-25. See data-model.

whether production depends on Cloudflare Access, tokens, or both
whether daily summaries are intentionally public or just currently configured that way
