2022-11-19 incident – post-mortem & Update

[jesusalva]

Affected Units
tmwa-map

Root Cause
Desync with test server's TMWA
Yes, live testing would have prevented it...

Date
06:52~09:52 UTC (three hours)

Solution
Fetch from master

Side effects
─ An incomplete update has been deployed
─ ManaMarket is now broken, I'll either fix it later or it'll fix itself during next update

---

Legacy Map Server crashed (reason unknown and now buried in logs) and as usual, it tried to reboot itself. But because legacy test server was conducting tests, it decided tmwa version was incompatible leading to a subsequent crash.

It then spent three hours trying to restart itself and failing to.

Because I fetched from master, ManaMarket is now complaining about the desync, but otherwise, it should be fine~ish. However, do note a lot of stuff got merged in an incomplete state.
