pnpm-lock.yaml contains two importers for this new app: services/apps/automatic_projects_discovery_worker (correct) and services/apps/automatic_project_discovery_worker (missing the s in projects). The latter path doesn’t exist in the repo and will leave the lockfile in an inconsistent state (pnpm will warn/error depending on settings). Please regenerate or edit the lockfile so only the correct importer remains.

Stale workspace importer in lockfile
Medium Severity
pnpm-lock.yaml adds an importer for services/apps/automatic_project_discovery_worker, but that workspace path is not present while the real app is services/apps/automatic_projects_discovery_worker. This leaves a stale duplicate importer in the lockfile, creating an inconsistent workspace definition that can destabilize pnpm install --frozen-lockfile behavior and dependency maintenance.

throw new Error(err) loses original error context
Low Severity
throw new Error(err) wraps the caught err (likely already an Error) inside a new Error, which discards the original stack trace, error type, and any custom properties. The resulting error message will be the stringified version of the original error (e.g., "Error: ...") rather than the original message. Rethrowing err directly would preserve all original context, making debugging much easier.


Summary
This PR introduces the basic structure for the new worker.
The implementation includes the foundational setup required to run the worker, without full business logic.
Included
Note
Medium Risk
Adds new database tables/migrations and deployable worker infrastructure; while the worker logic is minimal, schema changes and scheduled execution can affect deployments and runtime behavior if misconfigured.
Overview
Introduces a new
automatic_projects_discovery_workerservice with Docker/compose wiring and a minimal Temporal schedule + workflow that runs on a configurable cron (CROWD_AUTOMATIC_PROJECTS_DISCOVERY_CRON) and currently only logs a successful run.Adds DB migrations creating
projectCatalogandevaluatedProjectstables (with supporting indexes and a cascading FK) to persist discovered project candidates and evaluation results, plus the corresponding down migration to drop them.
