anyway.
If the first command SUCCEEDS, stop. `CONNECT` was not revoked and beta would be
able to read production data; re-run the provisioning script and re-check before
going further.
able to open a session against the production database; re-run the provisioning
script and re-check before going further.
This is not hypothetical — it happened on the live cutover. The first version of
the script revoked `PUBLIC` connect on the *guest's* database only, and a fresh
Postgres database carries `=Tc` (TEMP **and** CONNECT) for `PUBLIC`, so
`thermograph_beta` could still reach `thermograph`. The script now hardens the
owner's database too, granting the owner's read-only role an explicit `CONNECT`
first so the revoke cannot strip `ops/dbq.sh` of its access. The check above is
what caught it.
**Rollback:** `DROP DATABASE thermograph_beta; DROP ROLE thermograph_beta;`
prod is unaffected either way.

# --- harden the OWNER environment's database too -------------------------------
#
# Revoking CONNECT from PUBLIC on the guest's own database is only half the job,
# and the missing half is the half that matters. A fresh Postgres database
# carries `=Tc` for PUBLIC — TEMP *and* CONNECT — so the moment a second role
# exists on the instance, that role can connect to every database that still has
# the default. Provisioning beta and stopping here left `thermograph_beta` able
# to open a session against prod's database; caught live by the runbook's own
# isolation check, which is why that check exists.
#
# Order matters: grant the owner's read-only role an EXPLICIT connect first, so
# the revoke below cannot strip the ad-hoc query path (ops/dbq.sh) of its access.
# The owner's app role is the database owner and a superuser, so it is unaffected
# either way.
