Years of conditional GET code at FreshPorts, and no browser ever got a 304. Missing quotes. Fixed, and the cached pages now say "not modified" when nothing changed.

Production should be caught up and processing new commits.
Normal service returned at about 0200 UTC on 2026-07-28
On a development host (not publicly available), commit precision has resumed. It is not a difficult process. It requires time to think and plan.
Once that node is caught up, I’ll review and proceed.
I am making progress on getting FreshPorts processing commits again.
Progress is stalled because of weather.
Rain & thunderstorms are forecast for Monday afternoon. That’s my next target
This is done.
The main server is being updated from #FreeBSD 14.2 to FreeBSD 14.3 - commit processing has been disabled for the duration.
