The first prod deploy of voice quick-add (3b41b39a3) silently fell
back for every transcript: title=transcript verbatim, dueDate=null,
priority=null, labels=[]. The endpoint code was reaching the
fallback() path even though mana-llm was healthy and reachable from
inside the mana-web container.
Root cause: SvelteKit's $env/dynamic/private explicitly excludes any
env var that starts with the public prefix (default PUBLIC_). The
parse-task code read
env.MANA_LLM_URL || env.PUBLIC_MANA_LLM_URL || 'http://localhost:3025'
expecting to fall back to PUBLIC_MANA_LLM_URL when MANA_LLM_URL was
unset, but $env/dynamic/private treats PUBLIC_MANA_LLM_URL as if it
didn't exist on the server side. So it always fell through to
http://localhost:3025, which from inside mana-web is nothing,
fetch threw, and coerce returned the fallback shape.
Two fixes:
1. docker-compose.macmini.yml — set MANA_LLM_URL (no prefix) on
mana-web alongside PUBLIC_MANA_LLM_URL. The PUBLIC_ var is still
needed for the browser-side playground and status page; the
private one is what the parse endpoints actually read.
2. parse-task and parse-habit — drop the dead env.PUBLIC_MANA_LLM_URL
fallback so the next dev who reads the code doesn't think it'd
ever work. Add a comment explaining the SvelteKit gotcha so the
next person setting up a new env var doesn't repeat this mistake.
