Issue #262: Fix Silent Cleanup Failures ✅ COMPLETE

Status: Complete Started: 2026-02-02 16:40 Completed: 2026-02-02 16:50 Agent: general-purpose subagent (aaffaa8)

Details

• Problem: CleanupService.cleanup() returned void, hiding cleanup failures from callers
• Solution: Return structured CleanupResult with detailed status of each cleanup step
• Impact: Improved observability and debugging of cleanup failures

Changes Made:

1. Created Structured Result Types:

export interface CleanupStepResult {
  success: boolean;
  error?: string;
}

export interface CleanupResult {
  docker: CleanupStepResult;
  worktree: CleanupStepResult;
  state: CleanupStepResult;
}

2. Files Modified (4 files):

• cleanup.service.ts - Changed return type to Promise<CleanupResult>, captures error messages
• killswitch.service.ts - Captures cleanup result, logs structured summary
• cleanup.service.spec.ts - Updated 10 tests to verify structured results
• killswitch.service.spec.ts - Updated 8 tests with proper CleanupResult mocks

3. Example Results:

• Success: { docker: {success: true}, worktree: {success: true}, state: {success: true} }
• Partial failure: { docker: {success: false, error: "Docker error"}, worktree: {success: true}, state: {success: true} }

Progress

• Identified cleanup operations that fail silently
• Designed structured result types
• Spawned subagent to fix
• Verified all tests pass (365/365) ✅
• Verified typecheck passes (0 errors) ✅

Verification Results

# TypeScript compilation
pnpm --filter @mosaic/orchestrator typecheck
✅ 0 errors

# Test suite
pnpm --filter @mosaic/orchestrator test
✅ 365/365 tests passing

Key Benefits

• No more silent failures - cleanup results now visible to callers
• Detailed error information captured in result structure
• Best-effort cleanup behavior preserved (continues on errors)
• Enhanced observability through structured results
• No breaking changes to external API contracts

Issue #263: Fix Silent Valkey Event Parsing ✅ COMPLETE

Status: Complete Started: 2026-02-02 16:52 Completed: 2026-02-02 17:00 Agent: general-purpose subagent (af72762)

Details

• Problem: Valkey event parsing failures were silent (logged to console.error)
• Solution: Replaced console.error with proper Logger + error handler support
• Impact: Better error visibility and monitoring capabilities

Changes Made:

1. valkey.client.ts - Added Proper Error Handling:

• Added optional logger parameter to ValkeyClientConfig
• Added EventErrorHandler type for custom error handling
• Updated subscribeToEvents() to accept optional errorHandler parameter
• Replaced console.error with proper error handling:
  • Logs via NestJS Logger (if provided)
  • Invokes custom error handler (if provided)
  • Includes contextual information (channel, message)

2. valkey.service.ts - NestJS Integration:

• Added Logger instance to ValkeyService
• Passed logger to ValkeyClient via config
• Forwarded error handler parameter to client

3. Test Coverage (+3 new tests):

• Test with logger - Verifies logger.error is called
• Test with error handler - Verifies custom handler is invoked
• Test without logger/handler - Verifies graceful degradation

4. Files Modified:

• valkey.client.ts - Core error handling implementation
• valkey.service.ts - Service layer integration
• valkey.client.spec.ts - Added 3 new tests
• valkey.service.spec.ts - Updated existing tests

Progress

• Located Valkey event parsing code
• Identified where parsing errors are swallowed
• Spawned subagent to fix
• Verified all tests pass (368/368, +3 new) ✅
• Verified typecheck passes (0 errors) ✅
• Verified no console.* usage ✅

Verification Results

# TypeScript compilation
pnpm --filter @mosaic/orchestrator typecheck
✅ 0 errors

# Test suite
pnpm --filter @mosaic/orchestrator test
✅ 368/368 tests passing (+3 new tests)

# No console usage
grep -r "console\." apps/orchestrator/src/valkey/
✅ No console.* usage found

Key Benefits

• Event parsing errors now visible via NestJS Logger
• Applications can provide custom error handlers for monitoring
• Maintains backward compatibility (both optional)
• Errors don't crash subscription - continues processing
• Includes contextual information in error logs

2. prefer-nullish-coalescing (10 errors) - Use ?? instead of ||

   • Fixed in 5 files: Replaced logical OR with nullish coalescing

3. no-unused-vars (1 error) - Removed unused CleanupResult import

4. require-await (1 error) - Removed async from onModuleInit()

5. no-misused-promises (2 errors) - Added void cast for event handlers

6. no-unnecessary-condition (1 error) - Removed always-truthy condition

7. no-base-to-string (1 error) - Fixed object stringification

Files Modified: 15 TypeScript files

1. agents.controller.ts

Progress

• Run lint --fix to auto-format
• Fix remaining TypeScript ESLint errors
• Verified all tests still pass (395/395) ✅
• Verified typecheck passes (0 errors) ✅
• Verified lint passes (0 errors, 3 expected warnings) ✅

Verification Results

# ESLint
pnpm --filter @mosaic/orchestrator lint
✅ 0 errors
⚠️ 3 warnings (expected - security scanner dynamic patterns)

# TypeScript compilation
pnpm --filter @mosaic/orchestrator typecheck
✅ 0 errors

# Test suite
pnpm --filter @mosaic/orchestrator test
✅ 395/395 tests passing

Notes

• All formatting now consistent across codebase
