Electron bug reports now include the scrubbed backend exception class from streaming failures or API error payloads, making otherwise identical generic failures distinguishable.

Reconciled the overlapping main-branch changes: removed duplicate TypeScript declarations, restored the broken test block, and normalized missing/non-string classes once. Existing localized recovery and retry behavior remain covered.

Validation: 9 report-builder tests, 26 Electron generation tests and 13 changelog checks passed; Electron TypeScript checks passed. No reports were submitted by these tests. Current main is merged.

Included in #2191 with contributor history preserved. The combined PR runs full CI before landing and will absorb this PR; do not merge this separately.

The PR appears safe to merge with no concrete correctness, security, data-risk, or repository-rule violations identified.

Summary

Electron bug reports now preserve scrubbed backend exception classes from streaming failures and parsed API error payloads, while consistently omitting missing or non-string values.

  • Propagates stream error classes through StreamingPreviewError.
  • Adds backend class context to the shared bug-report document.
  • Adds regression coverage for propagation, precedence, scrubbing, and invalid values.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Streaming errors preserve string backend error classes and normalize other values to null. Bug reports include a scrubbed class when available from direct or payload fields. Tests, documentation, and changelog entries cover the behavior.

Changes

Backend error-class reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Streaming error propagation
electron/src/renderer/src/lib/api/generate.ts, electron/src/renderer/src/lib/api/generate.test.ts
StreamingPreviewError now exposes a required nullable errorClass. Streamed values are passed once, and non-string values become null. Tests cover missing and non-string values.
Bug-report composition and documentation
frontend/src/utils/bugReportDocument.js, frontend/src/utils/bugReportDocument.test.js, docs/electron-repair.md, CHANGELOG.md
Bug reports add a scrubbed backend error-class line from the direct or payload field. Tests cover precedence, omission, scrubbing, and existing report sections. Documentation and changelog entries describe the behavior.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 1 functions across 4 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Full details: I18n Completeness (21 Locales)

Explanation

The pull request adds the user-visible literal Backend error class: in frontend/src/utils/bugReportDocument.js:56, and the Electron report path sends this text directly into the report body without i18n. No new or changed t('...') keys were introduced, so no locale files are missing a translation key; all 21 locale files lack a corresponding backend-error-class key.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the change and lists validation results, but it does not follow the required template. It omits the ## Summary, ## Changes, ## Type, ## Testing, and ## Checklist sections, including the required checklist confirmations.

Resolution

Rewrite the description using the repository template. Add the required section headings, list the key changes, select the applicable type, document testing under ## Testing, complete the checklist, and retain the issue reference and release-cadence context where applicable.

debpalash#1800 added the backend exception class to auto-filed reports because
every unclassified engine failure renders one fixed floor message, so a
dozen unrelated faults were arriving as byte-identical, untriageable
issues. The class name is the only thing separating them.

The Electron app does not have it. The two apps file through different
builders — Tauri through `bugReport.js::openBugReport`, Electron through
the shared `bugReportDocument.js::composeBugReportUrl` — and each builds
its own `## Error` section. Only the Tauri one carries the class, so the
fix was lost in the app that ships as of v0.5.4. Issue debpalash#2177 is what a
report looks like WITH the line (v0.5.3, Tauri); the same failure from
Electron carries the message and a stack of minified bundle frames and
nothing more.

The shared builder now emits it, read from `error.errorClass` and then
from a parsed 500 body — the Electron client keeps that on `payload`
rather than lifting the field onto the error. Non-string values are
ignored rather than stringified, and the class is scrubbed like every
other reported field.

Electron's streaming path dropped it a second time: its
`StreamingPreviewError` had no way to carry the class, so
`error_class` on a stream error frame died at the boundary even though
the frontend twin has always forwarded it. It now carries it, which also
gives `error-boundary.tsx` the `.errorClass` it already reads before
falling back to a heuristic.

Eleven tests, five of them failing before this commit. The rest pin the
surrounding contract: the section still renders, the message is still
scrubbed and truncated, the title is still seeded, and a report with no
error at all still builds.

Remove the duplicate declarations introduced by this change.

The new declarations were appended without replacing the existing declarations, leaving invalid TypeScript in both the error class and stream-event contract.
