+`GET /api/admin/clients/{id}` and, under it, `/sites`, `/sites/{site}`,
+`/sites/{site}/cameras`, `/sites/{site}/cameras/{camera}`, plus
+`/api/admin/monitoring/summary`. The head-office console drills down
+merchant -> store -> camera and every level below the first showed *"Backend
+integration required"*.
+
+They cannot be the tenant routes, and the reason is structural. Every tenant
+handler derives the client from the **session** - that is what makes
+cross-tenant access impossible rather than merely disallowed - and a platform
+admin has no client at all. The three workarounds each make it worse: passing
+a company id to a tenant route puts a caller-chosen tenant back in the one
+place this system refuses to take one, filtering the estate in the browser
+ships every merchant's data to render one, and signing in as the owner audits
+the wrong person. So the tenant STORE functions are reused with an explicit
+client id - they already take one - and the scoping the tenant handlers get
+from the session happens in the handler instead.
+
+- **`AdminCamera` is a separate type from `Camera`**, for the same reason
+  `AgentCamera` is: it cannot carry `host`, `port`, `path`, `username` or
+  `has_password`. A tenant seeing those for their own camera is correct; a
+  platform admin browsing another company's estate is a different question,
+  and an RTSP host with a username beside it is most of a live path into a
+  customer's camera. Blanking fields on a shared struct leaves "remember to
+  redact, on every path, forever" as the only thing preventing a leak. The
+  test asserts on the **raw JSON**, because decoding into the struct would
+  discard exactly what it is looking for.
+- **An unowned site is 404, never an empty list.** `[]` says "this shop has no
+  cameras" when the truth is "not your shop".
+- **Every read below the merchant list writes an audit row.** An admin is the
+  one account for which nothing else here leaves a trace. The counts-only
+  summary does not: a console refreshes it on a timer, and logging that buries
+  the reads worth finding.
+- **A suspended merchant stays readable** - that is precisely what an admin
+  opens the console to look at.
+
+Alongside it, the two merchant-side reads that were only ever aggregates:
+`GET /api/sales` and `/api/sales/{id}` over the `purchases` table the
+conversion report has summed since it existed, and
+`GET /api/dashboard/summary`. No cursor on the sales list, deliberately: a
+keyset cursor needs a monotonic server-assigned column and `purchases` has
+none, so ordering by `(occurred_at, id)` with a random uuid tie-break is
+exactly the shape that dropped four of six simultaneous visits before
+`visits.seq` existed. Offering one would imply a delivery guarantee this table
+cannot make.
+
+### What the fake could not catch, and the database did immediately
+
+Both of these passed every in-memory test and failed on the first real call.
+
+**A wrong URL answered 500.** `c.id = $1::uuid` makes Postgres cast the path
+segment, and casting a malformed string - or the empty one a shape check hands
+back in its place - is an **error**, not a miss. `c.id::text = $1` cannot fail.
+The two sibling resolvers were already written that way and correctly 404'd the
+same input: the rule was applied to two of three places, which is the shape of
+a rule that holds until somebody adds the next one. `api_admin_monitor_live_test.go`
+asserts it where the property actually lives.
+
+**Five live endpoints answered 500 to a platform admin** - `/api/visits`,
+`/api/cameras`, `/api/sites`, `/api/visitors`, `/api/reports/footfall` - and had
+done since they shipped. Same cause one level up: a platform admin has no
+client, every tenant query scopes on `client_id = $1::uuid`, and `''::uuid` is
+a cast error. `tenantOnly` is the guard, beside `adminOnly` and for the
+opposite audience. **403, not 404**, because the two hide opposite things: a
+tenant must not learn a platform surface exists, while a platform admin already
+knows the tenant surface does - so the refusal names the route to use instead.
+`/api/auth/*` stays ungated: a session is not a company's data, and revoking a
+lost device must work for an account with no tenant.
+
+Guarding at the chokepoint rather than per query is the point. A per-query cast
+is a fix the next query forgets, and the next query would 500 in production
+exactly as these did.
+
+### Two bugs in the deploy script, both found by running it
+
+- **`go: command not found` at step 1**, on the machine the script was written
+  on. Go sits in a directory `.zprofile` adds and a script does not inherit. A
+  deploy that needs the operator to fix their environment first is a deploy
+  that gets skipped, which is the failure this script exists to end.
+- **Step 3 reported the wrong backup.** `ls | tail -1` sorts alphabetically, so
+  `pre-...-demo-12` sorts before `pre-...-demo-6` and it printed a dump from
+  four days earlier. A deploy that names the wrong safety net is worse than one
+  that names none - that is the file somebody reaches for at the worst moment.
+- Step 7 verified five routes and none of them were the nine that had just
+  shipped. It checks all of them now and treats **401 as a pass**: an
+  unauthenticated call to a route that exists is refused, while one the binary
+  never registered is a 404. That makes the step prove the *routing*, which is
+  what a deploy gets wrong, and a missing route now fails the deploy loudly.
+
+Verified live on 2026-09-28 against production (`v0.4.8-demo-14-g830c1c1`):
+merchant detail with its owner, the drill-down by slug and by uuid, camera rows
+carrying no host or username, another merchant's shop and camera both 404,
+malformed identifiers 404 rather than 500, one real sale (INR 1000, V-1) read
+back by id, and every tenant route still 200 for an ordinary tenant account.
