Fixing a Live Production AI Agent with Docker, Sentry, and Google AI

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup powered by Sentry . Project Overview I recently deployed the Dograh AI voice agent (named Zoya) live on my production website, Mobile One Media , to handle client inquiries for our 4K video production, audio engineering, and app development services. For the first 48 hours, the agent worked flawlessly. However, on day three, it suddenly stopped responding on the live site. Users were experiencing complete hang-ups when trying to navigate the service menu. This wasn't a local testing issue; this was a live production fire that needed immediate debugging and a permanent fix. Bug Fix or Performance Improvement The Problem: Issue: After ~48 hours of continuous uptime, the live Dograh AI widget on mobileonemedia.com began silently failing, resulting in infinite loading states and dropped user sessions. Impact: 100% of new agent interactions were failing, directly blocking potential client leads from contacting our media production services. Root Cause: A Docker container configuration issue combined with a system prompt misalignment. The agent's Docker environment variables were not properly persisting the workflow state, and the system prompt was failing to initialize correctly after container restarts, causing the agent to lose conversational context.

Built a brand new, clean agent setup from scratch with proper architecture. Rebuilt the Docker container configuration with proper environment variable persistence and volume mounting. Fixed the system prompt initialization sequence to ensure it loads correctly on container startup. Added health check endpoints to monitor agent readiness before accepting user connections.
