fix(web-desktop): auto-reload on stale hashed chunks instead of blaming Wi-Fi#1388pedramamini wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
…ng Wi-Fi A browser tab left open across a Maestro restart keeps the old module graph. Its content-hashed chunk names no longer exist on the rebuilt server, so the first lazily-imported chunk the user reaches (resuming a session, opening a modal, previewing a file) 404s with "Failed to fetch dynamically imported module". Two problems followed from that: 1. Nothing recovered - the user had to know to hard-refresh. 2. The rejection reached index.html's boot error handler, which wiped #root and told the user to check their Wi-Fi. That handler was written for failures that stop the bundle booting at all, but was never scoped to boot, so any post-boot unhandled rejection tore down a healthy running app and misattributed a 404 as network isolation. Add src/web-desktop/loadFailure.ts, which owns the policy: - Recognize the per-engine "dynamic import failed" messages (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit, plus Vite's CSS preload helper). - On a stale asset, reload once to pick up the current manifest, guarded by a 30s per-tab sessionStorage cooldown so a persistent failure can't loop. - If the reload did not help, show an honest message about the app being updated instead of the network hint. - Once the renderer has mounted, leave unrelated rejections alone so React's error boundary reports them in place rather than wiping the page. index.html keeps its inline listeners (they must be registered before the entry module parses, to catch a SyntaxError in the bundle itself) but now delegates the decision to that module once it is installed. Its error surface also HTML-escapes the title and hint, not just the detail. Closes #1387

Greptile SummaryThe PR adds web-desktop recovery for stale content-hashed chunks and scopes the full-page boot error handler so unrelated post-boot rejections no longer replace the running application.
Confidence Score: 4/5The persistent reload loop when sessionStorage is unavailable should be fixed before merging; the shortcut-label issue is non-blocking. The recovery path reloads even when it cannot persist its cooldown marker, so a persistent stale-asset failure in storage-blocked browsers repeats on every page load instead of reaching the intended error surface.

If sessionStorage writes are blocked and the stale-asset failure persists after navigation, markReloadAttempt suppresses the write failure and reloads anyway. The next page again reads no timestamp and reloads indefinitely, preventing the user from reaching the recovery guidance or using the application.

The new user-facing hint hard-codes Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+R instead of using the shared platform-aware shortcut formatter. This bypasses the repository's shortcut-label convention and can drift from the correct label for each platform.

Stop reloads when the guard cannot persist.
If sessionStorage.setItem() throws, this function returns without recording the attempt. After window.location.reload(), readLastReloadAt() returns 0, so the next stale failure reloads again. This creates an unbounded reload loop and prevents the error surface from rendering.
Return the write result from markReloadAttempt(). If recording fails, show the stale-asset error instead of reloading. Add a handler-level test with blocked sessionStorage.

Vite official documentation vite:preloadError event payload preventDefault dynamic import
💡 Result:
Vite emits a vite:preloadError event on the window object when it fails to load a dynamic import [1][2]. This is commonly used to handle "version skew" errors, which occur when a user's browser attempts to fetch a hashed chunk that was deleted from the server following a new deployment [1][3]. Payload and preventDefault behavior: The event object emitted contains a payload property, which holds the original error thrown during the import process [1][2]. If you call event.preventDefault() within the event listener, Vite will consider the error handled and will not rethrow it [1][2]. Example usage: You can listen for this event to trigger a page reload, ensuring the user fetches the latest version of your application [1][2][4]. window.addEventListener('vite:preloadError', (event) => { // Reload the page to recover from missing chunks window.location.reload; }); Important considerations: 1. Version Skew: This error is often a symptom of cached index.html files referencing outdated asset names. Ensure your index.html is served with Cache-Control: no-cache to force the browser to fetch the latest version [1][3]. 2. TypeScript: The vite:preloadError event is not automatically declared in the global Window namespace. You may need to augment the Window interface in your project if you need strict type checking for the event and its payload [5]. 3. Framework Integration: If you are using a router (e.g., Vue Router), you may need to coordinate this event with the router's error handling to prevent navigation failures [4][6].

Handle Vite vite:preloadError events.
The current listeners cover only error and unhandledrejection. A React-handled dynamic import rejection can bypass both paths. Add a vite:preloadError listener, pass event.payload to the policy handler, and call preventDefault() for stale asset failures. Add a test that dispatches this event and asserts one reload.

Closes #1387
Problem
A web-desktop tab left open across a Maestro restart still holds the old module graph. The bundle's JS/CSS chunks are content-hashed, so a rebuild changes every filename. Modules already fetched keep working, but the first lazily-imported chunk the user reaches - resuming a session, opening a modal, previewing a file - resolves to a hash the server no longer has on disk and 404s:
Two separate defects fall out of this:
src/web-desktop/index.htmlinstalls globalerror/unhandledrejectionlisteners for failures that stop the bundle from booting at all - but they stay installed for the life of the page. Any post-boot unhandled rejection wiped#rootand rendered the same-network hint. So a 404 on a hashed asset tore down a perfectly healthy running app and told the user to check their Wi-Fi.Defect 2 is the broader one: it applies to any unhandled rejection after mount, not just stale chunks.
Fix
New
src/web-desktop/loadFailure.tsowns the policy:sessionStoragecooldown so a persistent failure cannot loop. After the cooldown a genuinely new rebuild in the same long-lived tab can still self-recover.index.htmlkeeps its inline listeners - they must be registered before the entry module is parsed so aSyntaxErrorin the bundle itself is still reportable - but now delegates the decision to that module oncebootstrap.tsinstalls it. Its error surface also HTML-escapes the title and hint, not just the detail.bootstrap.tsinstalls the handler at module top level and callsmarkBooted()once the renderer mounts.Testing
src/__tests__/web-desktop/loadFailure.test.ts: 19 tests covering per-engine message recognition, non-Errorrejection reasons, the reload/cooldown/ignore decision matrix, and storage that is corrupt, blocked, or absent (private-mode Safari throws on access).npx vitest run src/__tests__/web-desktop/ src/__tests__/main/web-server/- 581 passed.npm run lintclean; eslint + prettier clean.npm run build:web-desktopsucceeds, and the builtdist/web-desktop/index.htmlstill contains the inline delegation (verified the inline script is not stripped or transformed).Notes
