Question

Should the westside-email-agent service be torn down, and if so, how do we handle the email template dependency in basketball-api?

What to Explore

Currently deployed: namespace westside-email with 1 running pod, 1 ClusterIP service, 1 Tailscale Funnel at westside-email.tail5b443a.ts.net. Local checkout at ~/westside-email-templates/. Forgejo repo: ldraney/westside-emails. Not in Terraform — deployed manually.

Critical dependency: basketball-api mounts ~/westside-email-templates/compiled as a HostPath volume for email rendering. Removing this directory breaks basketball-api emails.

Investigate:

Is westside-email-agent actively serving traffic? Check Funnel access logs.
Can email templates be baked into the basketball-api container image instead?
Is the namespace serving any purpose beyond the template mount?

Success Criteria

Traffic analysis: is westside-email.tail5b443a.ts.net receiving requests?
Decision documented: keep, migrate templates, or teardown
Follow-up ticket created based on decision
