Deploy checklist

A first production deploy of one Monark instance: the api and its scheduled jobs on Render, the web app on Vercel, Postgres and sign-in on Supabase. One deployment serves one organization. Allow about an hour the first time; each phase below can be done in its own sitting, in this order.

• Prepare accounts and secrets: generate the keys and create the Supabase project and mail provider everything else needs.
• Deploy the api to Render: create the api and cron services from the blueprint and get the api URL.
• Deploy the web app to Vercel: publish the web app, then point the api and Supabase at its URL.
• Smoke-test a deployment: sign up, confirm, and make yourself the administrator.
• Add custom domains: move both services to your own domain once the smoke test passes.
