The report

Google Search Console could not verify lekkerweed.co.za"Your meta tag is not in the <head> section of your home page." It wasn't.

What was actually wrong

The Search Console field, the pasted-<meta> handling, the <head> wiring and the deploy were all correct. The token was stored, valid, and reached the page — it appears in the RSC flight payload. It never reached the metadata builder.

tenants.settings.letterSpacingPreset held a design-system letter-spacing map instead of one token string:

{"wide":"0.025em","tight":"-0.02em","wider":"0.05em","normal":"0","widest":"0.1em"}

styleToken is z.string().max(100).nullable(), so that is one Zod issue — and parseTenantSettingsResult returned {} on any failure. One cosmetic key therefore switched off, on every storefront render:

  • Google + Bing site verification tags ← the reported symptom
  • GA4 (ga4MeasurementId, analyticsEnabled)
  • the store's tagline
  • aiCrawlerPolicy and socialLinks
  • the cookie-banner copy and consent flags

Production logged only zodIssueCount: 1, with no indication of which key or that anything user-visible had gone dark.

How the value got written: branding-form-initial-data.ts read getVal(["typography","letterSpacing"]) raw, while every sibling drills a level deeper (typography.fontSize.base) and/or runs matchOption/resolveFontId. A template whose design system holds the map at that node put an object into a string-typed form field, and the branding save persisted it.

The fix

1. The parser degrades per key. parseTenantSettingsResult drops only the offending top-level keys and re-parses, falling back to {} only when the blob isn't an object or the retry still fails. One retry, never a loop — this is on every storefront render. Nested issues take their whole top-level key deliberately: returning a half-rewritten businessInfo is worse than returning a default.

The shared schema had already reasoned about this exact failure mode four times — reorderReminderDays, the three verification keys, aiCrawlerPolicy and socialLinks are each bounded loosely there and pinned exactly by their own route/reader, explicitly so they could not take the blob down. That defends the keys someone thought of. A cosmetic key nobody listed did the damage instead, so the containment belongs in the parser.

2. Failures are attributable. The result gains droppedKeys and the log names them. Key names come from the schema, not tenant data, so nothing leaks — and without them a failure signal says only "something was wrong", which is what let this sit unnoticed.

3. The writer is pinned. letterSpacingPreset is matched against the four tokens the Type tab offers, on both the design system and the stored value (the latter reaches the form through a raw as TenantSettings cast).

No data patch

The stored map is dropped on read, so the verification tag renders as soon as this deploys. Letter-spacing resolves to "0" — which is what letterSpacingMap[object] already produced. The next branding save writes a clean token, so the row self-heals.

Test plan

  • npx vitest run tests/unit/168 files / 3036 tests passing
  • npx tsc --noEmit — clean
  • New: parseTenantSettings keeps the real production token while dropping its malformed neighbour; droppedKeys reports it by name; the offending value never enters the log
  • New: buildStoreMetadata emits verification.google in the exact failing scenario (plan trial + malformed letterSpacingPreset)
  • New: buildInitialFormData never yields a non-token letterSpacingPreset, from either source
  • Pre-existing {}-on-garbage contracts still hold (non-object blob, single-bad-key blob)

After merge, confirm on the live URL:

curl -s https://lekkerweed.co.za/ | grep -o '<meta name="google-site-verification"[^>]*>'

then retry HTML-tag verification in Search Console.

Follow-up (not in this PR)

Worth checking the true blast radius once this is in — the fix makes them all render regardless, but it tells you who else was affected:

SELECT id, subdomain FROM tenants
WHERE jsonb_typeof(settings->'letterSpacingPreset') NOT IN ('string','null');

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved recovery from malformed tenant settings by preserving valid settings when isolated invalid values are found.
    • Prevented invalid branding letter-spacing values from affecting form initialization; unsupported values now safely default to “normal.”
    • Preserved site verification and tagline metadata when unrelated settings are invalid.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for invalid branding values and partial recovery from malformed settings.

…a unit

Google Search Console could not verify lekkerweed.co.za. The field, the
paste-handling, the <head> wiring and the deploy were all correct — the token
never survived the settings parse.

tenants.settings.letterSpacingPreset held a design-system letter-spacing MAP
({tight, normal, wide, wider, widest}) instead of one token string.
parseTenantSettingsResult returned {} on any safeParse failure, so that one
cosmetic key silently switched off the store's Search Console and Bing
verification tags, its GA4 tag, its tagline, its AI-crawler policy, its social
links and its cookie-banner copy — on every storefront render, logging only an
unattributed "zodIssueCount: 1".

The shared schema had already reasoned about this failure mode four times:
reorderReminderDays, the three verification keys, aiCrawlerPolicy and
socialLinks are each bounded loosely there and pinned exactly by their own
route/reader, explicitly so they could not take the blob down. That defends the
keys someone thought of; a cosmetic key nobody listed did the damage instead.
So the containment moves into the parser, where it holds for every key
including the ones not yet written.

- parseTenantSettingsResult drops only the offending top-level keys and
  re-parses; falls back to {} when the blob is not an object or the retry still
  fails. One retry, never a loop — this runs on every storefront render.
- The result gains droppedKeys and the failure log names them. Key names come
  from the schema, so no tenant value is leaked; without them a failure signal
  says only "something was wrong".
- branding-form-initial-data pins letterSpacingPreset to the four tokens the
  Type tab offers, on both the design system and the stored value (the latter
  reaches the form through a raw cast). This is the writer that produced it:
  every sibling drills a level deeper and/or runs a normaliser, this one read
  the parent node raw into a string-typed field.

No data patch: the stored map is dropped on read so the tag renders on deploy,
and the next branding save writes a clean token.

Tests: 168 files / 3036 passing, tsc --noEmit clean. New coverage uses the real
production blob — the token survives its malformed neighbour, and
buildStoreMetadata emits verification.google in the exact failing scenario.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds partial recovery for malformed tenant settings and reports dropped keys. Branding form initialization now validates letter-spacing tokens and falls back to "normal". Tests cover parsing recovery, redacted logging, branding values, and preserved metadata.

Changes

Tenant settings recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Partial parsing and recovery
nextjs_space/lib/tenant/tenant-settings.ts, nextjs_space/tests/unit/tenant-settings.test.ts, nextjs_space/tests/unit/store-metadata.test.ts
The parser reports invalid top-level keys, removes them, retries parsing, and preserves valid settings. Tests verify dropped-key reporting, redacted logging, typed defaults, and retained metadata.

Branding letter-spacing validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Validated branding initialization
nextjs_space/app/tenant-admin/branding/branding-form-initial-data.ts, nextjs_space/tests/unit/branding-form-initial-data.test.ts
Branding initialization accepts supported template or tenant tokens and uses "normal" for unsupported or non-string values. Tests cover precedence, invalid maps, and fallback behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3585c

The parser now isolates malformed settings per key, but it still truncates the returned dropped-key list at 20; tenants with more invalid keys would receive incomplete diagnostics despite the result contract. This is a bounded issue and the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Return every dropped key in ParseTenantSettingsResult.

Line 286 truncates droppedKeys before the function returns it. The retry removes every key in failedKeys. If more than 20 keys fail, the result omits keys that were removed and violates the documented result contract.

Keep the full list in the result. Slice only the list passed to logParseFailure.

Proposed fix
-  const droppedKeys = failedKeys.slice(0, MAX_LOGGED_DROPPED_KEYS);
-  logParseFailure(issueCount, droppedKeys, context);
+  const droppedKeys = failedKeys;
+  logParseFailure(
+    issueCount,
+    droppedKeys.slice(0, MAX_LOGGED_DROPPED_KEYS),
+    context,
+  );

Also applies to: 286-287
