Found running the real validation execution against DEV: the envios
digest table starts empty (the normal state for every day until the
first successful send), the "get" operation returned 0 rows, and n8n
does not execute downstream nodes when a node outputs 0 items -- so
Code - Guard de Envio Slack, the IF, the real Slack node, and everything
else in the send branch silently never ran. This would have broken the
happy path on every single day in production, not just an edge case.
Fixed with alwaysOutputData: true on that node (forces at least one
output item even with 0 matches; the resulting empty {} item doesn't
false-positive in alreadySentSuccessfully since none of its fields match
a real record's shape). Re-ran the validation execution after the fix:
Code - Guard de Envio Slack now runs correctly (shouldSend: false,
reason: 'send_disabled' with SEND_ENABLED=false as expected), and the
IF node's true branch (Slack - Enviar Mensagem) is confirmed to never
fire while disabled.
Added a regression test asserting alwaysOutputData on this node.
157/157 tests passing.
