Solutions

Enable automatic deployment in the compose settings
Or remove the external webhook/CI trigger
Retest after toggling

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

const compose = await db.query.compose.findFirst({ where: eq(compose.refreshToken, token) });
if (!compose?.autoDeploy) throw new Error('Enable compose auto-deploy');

Try / catch

if (res.status === 400 && body.message.includes('disabled')) { await enableComposeAutoDeploy(id); retry(); }

Prevention

Verify the toggle before configuring external triggers

When it happens

Trigger: Hitting the compose deploy webhook while the compose's automatic deploy toggle is off.

Common situations: Auto-deploy disabled intentionally (manual-only deploys) but external webhook still configured; compose recreated with defaults after config loss.
