Patch 023 attempted to read process.env.VITE_BRIDGE_TOKEN, but the
vite.config.ts define block uses { 'process.env': {...} } which only
substitutes the literal expression 'process.env' standalone, not when
followed by a member access like 'process.env.X'. So the runtime call
evaluated to undefined and the bridge interceptor never sent a Bearer
header — every /database call got 401.
Switch to Vite's standard pattern: VITE_BRIDGE_TOKEN lives in
apps/client/.env.local (gitignored, must be created locally) and is
auto-exposed via import.meta.env. Verified: the dev server substitutes
it inline at transform time as 'brg_smoketest_admin'.
Patch 025.
