Backup & Restore CLI (MongoDB) (4a2bc6b)

What’s New

• Interactive CLI to back up and restore MongoDB, with optional Fly.io scale‑down and S3 upload.
• List backups, list environments, dry‑run restore, selective collection restore, and optional drop.

Where to Find It

• From server, run:
  • Interactive: npm run mongo-cli:interactive
  • One‑shot: npm run mongo:backup, npm run mongo:restore

Typical Workflows

• Create a backup
  • npm run mongo-cli:interactive → “Create a backup”
  • Pick environment (or all), optionally choose collections
  • Optionally scale down Fly app and upload to S3
  • Result saved under ../non-vcs/dump/backups/-- and optionally to s3:///backups/
• Restore from a backup
  • npm run mongo-cli:interactive → “Restore from backup”
  • Choose backup, pick target environment
  • Optionally select collections, choose Drop Collections or Dry Run
  • Confirm to proceed; restore runs with mongorestore

Benefits

• Safe operations: dry‑run and selective restore reduce risk.
• Operational flexibility: scale down for consistency; archive backups to S3.
• Visibility: list available backups and configured environments.

Serenity cookie handling and stability improvements

Benefits

• Function‑based ExecuteScript tasks that perform dismissal of cookie banners in a more resilient way than before.
• Invoked before UI interactions like clicks and uploads so walk export flow is more reliable.
• More reliable automation on Ramblers sites with consistent preconditions.
• Easier debugging with structured logs.

Where to Find It
