Route /api/* through the Worker so subscribe actually runs

[kixelated]

What

One line in wrangler.jsonc: run_worker_first now lists /api/* alongside /.

Why

just deploy live failed its announce step with a Resend 422: "The audience you are sending has no contacts." The audience is empty because the subscribe form has never worked.

run_worker_first only listed "/", so for every other path Cloudflare's static asset server answers before the Worker runs. /api/subscribe isn't an asset, and the asset server rejects a POST to a non-asset path with a bare 405 — the Worker's handleSubscribe never executes.

Confirmed against production:

• POST https://moq.dev/api/subscribe → 405 with an empty body. The Worker's own 405 branch returns the string Method Not Allowed, so this response isn't coming from our code.
• GET https://moq.dev/api/subscribe → the asset 404 page.
• new.moq.dev behaves the same way.

So every visitor who submitted the form got "Something went wrong. Try again?" and their address was silently dropped.

The rest of the chain is healthy and needed no changes: RESEND_API_KEY and RESEND_SEGMENT_ID are both set as secrets on the live Worker, and the handler's POST /contacts with a segments: [{ id }] array matches Resend's current API reference.

This is the same footgun CLAUDE.md already documents for moq.pub / moq.watch, where assets.run_worker_first is called out as load-bearing — it just bit the moq.dev Worker on a different path.

Verifying after deploy

curl -i -X POST https://new.moq.dev/api/subscribe \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"email":"you@example.com"}'

Should return 200 {"ok":true} and the address should appear in the Resend "Blog" segment. Before this change it's an empty 405.

Not fixed here

• Five orphaned Untitled draft broadcasts are sitting in Resend from the deploy retries (15:35–16:06 UTC). Each was created fine and then failed on send. Worth cleaning up in the dashboard.
• The Open For Business announce won't fire on its own anymore — the announce snapshot expires an hour after the first attempt, after which a rerun reads the post as already live. Once the audience has real contacts, that one needs sending by hand.

Walkthrough

The asset configuration now routes / and /api/* through the Worker before static asset handling. Other paths continue to route directly to static assets. The routing comment documents that API POST requests must avoid asset-level 405 responses.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to dfffd

This localized routing configuration change enables API requests to reach the Worker so subscriptions can run; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.
