Addresses 1 P1 finding on PR #2940: the seed script was overwriting a good summary with an empty {regions: [], recordCount: 0} payload whenever a cron invocation landed inside the 15-minute idempotency bucket and every region returned duplicate-bucket. api/health.js classifies the empty array as EMPTY_DATA, flipping /api/health to red on a completely harmless retry. New health policy in the seed main(): 1. persisted > 0 && failed === 0: write fresh summary + seed-meta 2. persisted === 0 && failed === 0: all regions dedup-skipped. Do NOT write (preserve the prior good summary). Return cleanly. 3. failed > 0: skip meta write and exit 1. The 12h maxStaleMin budget flips /api/health to STALE on sustained degradation. The bundle runner's freshness gate (intervalMs * 0.8) means the next full run lands roughly every 6h regardless. In steady state, the 15min dedup bucket only catches bundle cron retries after a prior success within the same bucket, so path 2 is rare but real: the first cron tick after a pod restart inside the dedup window is the failure mode this fixes. Verification - tests/regional-snapshot.test.mjs: 50/50 pass - npm run typecheck:all: clean - tsc -p scripts/jsconfig.json: 0 errors in regional-snapshot - biome lint: clean on touched file - Static analysis confirms exactly 1 writeExtraKeyWithMeta call (only in branch 1) so branches 2 and 3 cannot accidentally overwrite the summary
