Control Plane readiness script defaulted to a non-resolving live URL

DomainDEVOPS ImpactMedium
Error Signature
Readiness script reports connectivity failures against control.querykey.com (NXDOMAIN) instead of testing the real live origin

control-plane-remote-readiness.mjs hardcoded a default live base URL (control.querykey.com) that does not resolve in real DNS (NXDOMAIN), causing every readiness check run without an explicit override to silently probe a dead host and report misleading connectivity results instead of testing the actual live origin.

Root Cause

The real live Control Plane origin follows the same ops.<env>.querykey.com naming pattern already used by staging (ops.staging.querykey.com), but the script's default value was set to a differently-named host (control.querykey.com) that was never actually provisioned in DNS.

Solution Steps

  1. Change the SCCLIVEBASE_URL default from control.querykey.com to https://ops.querykey.com, matching the same ops.<env>.querykey.com pattern already used for staging.
  2. Confirm the corrected default is present in source.
