Two bugs kept a fresh docker-compose deploy from ever accepting admin:admin:
1. resolveSqliteUrl in packages/db/src/client.ts stripped leading slashes
wholesale — so file:/data/vector.db became a relative path and was
resolved against packages/db/prisma/. Prisma CLI (migrate deploy)
correctly wrote to /data/vector.db on the mounted volume; the app's
runtime client connected to an empty file at packages/db/prisma/data/
vector.db with no tables, so login threw. The helper now passes Unix
absolute paths through verbatim, still normalizes file:/// triple-
slash URLs, and only resolves truly relative paths against the schema
dir.
2. The Dockerfile CMD ran migrations but not a seed, so even when the
path bug is fixed the User table is empty — admin:admin 401s forever.
Added packages/db/ensure-admin.mjs (pure JS, no tsx needed) that
creates the default admin user iff User.count() === 0, and wired it
into the API CMD between migrate deploy and node. Credentials can be
overridden with SEED_ADMIN_{USERNAME,PASSWORD,EMAIL}.
