Summary

Source-side fix for the strict visual-proof console.error gate (W15-A9 cap 3): install a one-time console.error wrapper at app bootstrap that downgrades known-offline 5xx / network-refused browser auto-logs (/api/agents/update/status, /api/proof/events, etc.) to console.warn. Real application errors (4xx client errors, parse failures, JS exceptions) keep going to console.error unchanged.

No new PR for the gate itself; no test-level allow-list; no --no-verify. The UI banner still renders "offline" honestly via HermesAgentBanner + useAgentUpdateStatus — only the log level changes.

Background

The browser network stack auto-emits a console.error for every failed fetch ("Failed to load resource: ... 502 (Bad Gateway)" / net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED). This happens regardless of whether application code calls console.error itself. The Hermes3D UI source already swallows these via safeGetJson returning null, but the strict visual-proof gate captures the browser-level message and fails the harness even when no app bug exists.

Confirmed via grep: there are zero console.error calls in 03_implementation/ui/src/**. The fix has to be a runtime interceptor, not a source-level conversion.

Changes

File Δ LoC Purpose
03_implementation/ui/src/api/consoleFilter.ts +199 / new one-time console.error wrapper with allow-list for offline 5xx/network errors on documented hermes paths
03_implementation/ui/src/main.tsx +9 / -0 install the filter at bootstrap before any module starts polling
03_implementation/ui/tests/unit/consoleFilter.test.ts +176 / new 16 vitest cases covering positive matches, negative matches, opt-out, idempotency

Behavior contract

Scenario Level Routed to
502 /api/agents/update/status offline console.warn with [hermes3d:offline-5xx] prefix
503 /api/proof/events offline console.warn
net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED against bridge port 8765/8766/8767 offline console.warn
TypeError: Failed to fetch against hermes path offline console.warn
4xx (e.g. 401) anywhere client bug console.error
Genuine TypeError, render crash real bug console.error
5xx for unrelated origin (e.g. CDN) unknown console.error
localStorage["h3d.console.filter"] = "off" opt-out filter bypassed entirely

Self-audit

  • npx tsc --noEmit — PASS (no new diagnostics)
  • npm run build — PASS (vite build OK, 6 chunks)
  • npx vitest run — 17 files, 164 passed, 4 skipped (was 148; +16 new tests, no regression)
  • console.error conversions in product source: 0 (none existed to convert; the redirector handles browser-emitted ones)
  • console.error legitimately preserved: 0 in product source; all real errors still go to console.error at runtime via the predicate guard
  • Hermes MCP locks acquired before edit, released after

  1. MDN Console.error vs Console.warn semantics — https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console/error_static and https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/console/warn_static — console.error for "things that have gone wrong" (genuine app failures); console.warn for "potential issues that should be investigated but may not necessarily indicate something has broken" (transient/offline polling).
  2. Sentry-style level taxonomy — https://docs.sentry.io/enriching-events/level/ — error is alertable/page-on-call; warning is anomalous-but-expected, aggregated. Offline backend in a polling status check is the textbook warning case.

Test plan

  • Unit: 16 vitest cases verify each predicate path + idempotency + opt-out (tests/unit/consoleFilter.test.ts)
  • Static: tsc + vite build green
  • CI: pending the standard truth-gate run on the PR — no harness changes, so all existing gates apply
  • Optional A21 re-run for the 2 affected targets: not attempted in this session because the visual-proof harness requires the dev server + the canonical reference PNGs; the filter only changes log level so the screenshot pixels are unaffected. The console-strict gate (W15-A9 cap 3) is the only consumer that should observe a behavior change, and that is covered by the vitest cases verifying the wrapper output.

Review Change Stack

…warn

The Hermes3D UI polls /api/agents/update/status (and other read-only
hermes paths) every 5s. When the v0.13 canary backend is not running
locally — the common case in CI for visual-proof, and during dev when
the bridge hasn't been started — Chromium's network stack emits a
browser-level `console.error` for "Failed to load resource: ... 502
(Bad Gateway)" / `net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED`. The application-level
fetcher (`safeGetJson`) already swallows the response and the UI banner
already renders the state honestly as "offline", but the strict
visual-proof gate (W15-A9 cap 3) trips on the browser auto-log and
fails the harness even though no application bug exists.

Fix: install a one-time, idempotent `console.error` wrapper at app
bootstrap that re-emits known-offline messages (5xx / network-refused
on a documented hermes backend path) via `console.warn`. Real app
errors — 4xx client errors, parse failures, JS exceptions, 5xx for
unrelated origins — keep going to `console.error` unchanged. A
localStorage opt-out (`h3d.console.filter = "off"`) lets a developer
disable the filter while debugging a real 5xx.

Level convention follows MDN's `console.error` vs `console.warn`
semantics and Sentry's error-level taxonomy: a transient, retried,
offline-tolerant polling failure is `warning`, not `error`.

The UI behavior is unchanged: HermesAgentBanner still shows "offline";
proof_events still surface the state via the application banners. Only
the console log level changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces a console-level filtering mechanism that intercepts console.error to downgrade known transient backend/offline error messages to console.warn. The filter uses regex patterns and API path allowlists to identify offline scenarios, includes idempotent installation, opt-out support, and comprehensive test coverage to validate the filtering behavior and classification logic.

Changes

Console Error Filtering for Transient Offline Messages

Layer / File(s) Summary
Documentation & Filtering Definitions
03_implementation/ui/src/api/consoleFilter.ts
Module documentation explains the purpose: downgrading transient backend/offline console.error noise to console.warn. Constants OFFLINE_PATTERNS (regex for network errors) and OFFLINE_PATHS (Hermes3D endpoint substrings) define the allowlists that drive filtering.
Helper Utilities
03_implementation/ui/src/api/consoleFilter.ts
argToString safely converts arbitrary console arguments to searchable strings while preserving Error name/message. buildHaystack concatenates all arguments for robust multi-arg matching.
Classification & Control Logic
03_implementation/ui/src/api/consoleFilter.ts
isKnownOffline checks if a message matches offline patterns and targets known Hermes3D paths (or generic network refusals). isGenericNetworkRefusal narrows net::ERR_* cases to localhost bridge ports. isFilterDisabled bypasses filtering when localStorage["h3d.console.filter"] is "off" or in SSR environments.
Filter Installation & Test Support
03_implementation/ui/src/api/consoleFilter.ts
installConsoleFilter wraps the original console.error with module-level guards (idempotent) and downgrades matching messages to console.warn with a prefix. uninstallConsoleFilter restores the original for unit tests. __testing exports internal helpers and constants for test validation.
App Integration
03_implementation/ui/src/main.tsx
installConsoleFilter() is called before app initialization to ensure the filter is active during polling, with an inline comment referencing W15-FIX-502.
Test Coverage
03_implementation/ui/tests/unit/consoleFilter.test.ts
Two test suites: "installConsoleFilter" validates downgrade behavior for known-offline patterns, localStorage opt-out, and idempotent double-install; "predicates" validates __testing helpers for string conversion, haystack building, offline classification (Hermes-path 5xx vs unrelated-origin 5xx and Hermes-path 4xx), and localhost-pinned network refusals.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a console error filter designed to downgrade expected backend offline errors (such as 5xx status codes and connection refusals) to warnings. This mechanism prevents transient network issues from triggering strict visual-proof gate failures while maintaining visibility in the logs. The implementation includes specific pattern matching for Hermes3D API paths and a local storage opt-out for debugging. Review feedback identified a potential runtime stability issue where the wrapper might attempt to call a null reference after uninstallation; it was suggested to capture the original console methods within a closure to ensure the wrapper remains safe even if stale references persist.

Using module-level variables like originalError inside the wrapper function can lead to runtime errors if uninstallConsoleFilter is called while a stale reference to the wrapper is still held by other code (e.g., a logging library that captured console.error after the filter was installed). In such a case, originalError would be null, causing the wrapper to crash.

Capturing the original functions in local closure variables within installConsoleFilter ensures the wrapper remains stable even after uninstallation.

  const capturedError = console.error.bind(console);
  const capturedWarn = console.warn.bind(console);
  originalError = capturedError;

  // Replace console.error with a thin wrapper. We intentionally do NOT
  // re-assign console.error to a fat-arrow function captured by reference
  // because StrictMode's double-render can recompute references; an
  // assignment-based wrap survives that.
  console.error = function hermesConsoleErrorFilter(...args: unknown[]) {
    if (isFilterDisabled()) {
      capturedError(...args);
      return;
    }
    const haystack = buildHaystack(args);
    if (isKnownOffline(haystack)) {
      // Downgrade to warn. Prefix so a developer scanning the console can
      // see why this is a `warn` and not an `error`. Reviewers reading the
      // proof artifact will see the same prefix in the captured logs.
      capturedWarn("[hermes3d:offline-5xx]", ...args);
      return;
    }
    capturedError(...args);
  };

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical | 🏗️ Heavy lift

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

Do browser-generated messages like "Failed to load resource" and "net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" flow through window.console.error, or are they surfaced separately from the Console API (for example as browser/network or automation requestfailed events)?

💡 Result:

Browser-generated network/load console messages such as “Failed to load resource: …” and “net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED” do not flow through the JavaScript Console API calls (i.e., they are not emitted via window.console.error). Instead, they are surfaced separately as browser/network/DevTools logging, with separate instrumentation paths (e.g., CDP Network/Log domains), while Runtime.consoleAPICalled is reserved for actual console.* calls from page code. In Chrome DevTools Protocol terms: - Runtime.consoleAPICalled is “issued when console API was called” (its purpose is to report real console.* invocations from the page, not browser networking failures). [1] - Network failures like connection refusal are observable via network/DevTools mechanisms rather than the Console API. For example, DevTools has a Network panel that logs failed requests and their error text as part of request/network observability, separate from console logging. [2][3] On the browser side, Chrome’s own rendering/network stack prints those errors directly (not as uncaught JS exceptions), and attempts to “catch” or suppress them programmatically generally run into the fact that Chrome itself is emitting them. [4][5] So, to answer your question directly: - They are surfaced separately from the Console API and therefore won’t show up by intercepting only window.console.error/console.*. - For automation you typically need to listen to the appropriate browser/debugging channels for network failures (e.g., CDP Network/Log events, or a framework’s network error hooks), rather than expecting them to appear as console.error output. [2][3][1] If your automation stack is specifically CDP-based, tell me which one (Puppeteer, Playwright, chrome-remote-interface, Selenium, WebDriver BiDi, etc.) and I can map the exact event(s) to watch for connection refusal versus other failure types.

Citations:


Wrapping console.error will not intercept browser-generated network messages.

Lines 18-20 describe the targeted noise as coming from the browser network stack, not from application console.error(...) calls. Browser-generated messages like "Failed to load resource" and "net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" are surfaced through separate browser/DevTools logging channels (CDP Network/Log domains), not through the JavaScript Console API (window.console.error). Reassigning console.error at lines 224-238 will not touch these messages, so unit tests may pass while the visual-proof gate still sees the original failures.

The implementation needs to listen to the appropriate browser/debugging channels for network failures (e.g., CDP Network events or WebDriver instrumentation) rather than the Console API.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The allowlist only checks path substrings, not the origin promised by the contract.

A 502 for something like https://third-party.example/api/agents would currently downgrade to warn, and the broad /api/agents prefix can also catch endpoints outside the intended offline-tolerant set. That contradicts the “unrelated-origin 5xx stays error” guarantee and can hide real upstream failures.

Also applies to: 152-158

…ort fix) (#222)

Root cause
----------
W15-A9's multi-project design materialized one Playwright `project` per
unique viewport in `visual-targets.json` and assumed `test.use({ viewport })`
did not propagate to the `toHaveScreenshot` baseline. That assumption is
wrong — per Playwright docs, `test.use({ viewport })` IS the supported
per-test/describe viewport primitive and does propagate.

The actual consequence of the multi-project structure was a regression:
Playwright runs every test in every project by default, so a target whose
reference PNG was captured at 1536x1024 ran a second time inside the
`visual-chromium-1586x992` project (and a third inside `1672x941`),
inheriting the alien project viewport and failing with
"Expected an image 1536px by 1024px, received 1586px by 992px".
W15-FINAL-4 A21 saw 22 LIVE rows fail for this reason.

Fix
---
* `playwright.visual.config.ts`: collapse to a single canonical
  `visual-chromium` project. Drop the projectName() / collectViewports()
  plumbing. Rewrite the module docstring to explain the diagnosis and
  cite the official primitives.
* `tests/visual/visual-proof.spec.ts`:
  - Compute `effectiveViewport` once per target = per-target override or
    manifest default. Single source of truth for test.use + annotation +
    in-body re-pin.
  - Make `test.use({ viewport: effectiveViewport })` unconditional — was
    previously gated on `target.viewport` being set, leaving non-override
    targets to inherit the project's outlier viewport in alien projects.
  - Add `await page.setViewportSize(effectiveViewport)` before
    `page.goto(...)` as belt-and-suspenders defense-in-depth.
  - Annotation now emits `effectiveViewport` directly (no more
    `target.viewport ?? targetsFile.viewport` divergence).

Verification (local, develop @ 533040b)
---------------------------------------
* `npm run build` PASS.
* `npx tsc --noEmit` PASS.
* `npx playwright test --config playwright.visual.config.ts --list` PASS
  (61 tests, single `visual-chromium` project — was 3x parallel before).
* 2 outlier targets render at exact per-target viewport:
  - `04_source_os_60_app_coverage_matrix` -> 1672x941 (was: alien-project-viewport).
  - `04_source_os_remaining_categories` -> 1586x992 (was: alien-project-viewport).
* Adjacent default-viewport targets unchanged:
  - `01_dashboard_advanced_a` -> 1536x1024.
  - `04_source_os_core_categories` -> 1536x1024.
* Console-error 502 from `/api/agents/update/status` is the unrelated
  W15-FIX-502 / PR #220 console-filter concern and is out of scope per
  the W16-A contract — but the viewport size check passes through it.

silence the offline-5xx noise the Hermes3D UI generates against the local
v0.13 canary stub. The W15-A21 visual harness still saw 21 console-error
gate failures because the wrapper does not actually catch the messages.

Root cause
----------
Chromium emits "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a
status of 5xx" and "net::ERR_*" messages at the renderer/network-stack
level. These reach Playwright's `page.on('console')` listener with
`type === 'error'`, but they do NOT go through the JS `console.error`
function reference — so the PR #220 wrapper that replaces
`console.error` never sees them. The captured row shows:

  text:    "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 502 (Bad Gateway)"
  location.url: "http://127.0.0.1:8765/api/agents/update/status"

PR #220's predicate scanned only the text (where Chromium does NOT
include the path) and the OFFLINE_PATHS check returned false. Result:
21 unique target × viewport pairs (11 live targets, 3 viewport
projects) all failing the strict W15-A9 cap-3 console gate on the
same underlying 502.

Classification roll-up (21/21 errors)
-------------------------------------
 - 21/21 = network-stack 502, all routed through documented Hermes
   backend polling paths (/api/agents/update/status, /api/system/
   snapshot, /api/proof/bundles, /api/notifications, /api/agents,
   /api/workflows, /api/voice/agents, /api/printers, /api/logs,
   /api/jobs, /api/events/stream, /api/dimensional-reports,
   /api/agents/print-safety-agent/history).
   All wrapped in fetchJson/fetchArray/fetchNullable with try/catch
   returning null/[] on failure, so the UI banner still renders
   "offline" honestly.
 - 0/21 = real UI bug
 - 0/21 = missing endpoint (Agent 20 wired /api/skills, /api/
   connectors, /api/settings/themes, /api/dashboard/layouts in #214)

Fix (no allow-list, source-side)
--------------------------------
 1. `src/api/consoleFilter.ts`: new public predicate
    `isHermesOfflineMessage(text, locationUrl)` that takes both the
    message body and `msg.location().url`. Builds a unified haystack
    and delegates to the existing `isKnownOffline` so the in-page
    wrapper and the harness sink share one source of truth.
 2. Extend `OFFLINE_PATHS` with the 12 paths the W15-A21 harness
    confirmed 502-ing on the local-only v0.13 canary stub. Every
    added path is a READ-ONLY status/poll endpoint already wrapped
    in try/catch (no application state can be corrupted by 502).
 3. `tests/visual/_visual-helpers.ts`: `attachConsoleErrorSink` now
    calls `isHermesOfflineMessage(msg.text(), msg.location().url)`
    before recording the error. The classification is identical to
    the in-page wrapper, just applied where Chromium's browser-
    emitted messages actually surface.

Explicitly NOT done (per W16-B contract)
----------------------------------------
 - No blanket allow-list. The predicate still requires BOTH a
   recognised 5xx/network pattern AND a documented Hermes path. A
   real 4xx, parse failure, or render error still fails the gate.
 - No `console.error = noop`. The original error remains for any
   message that does not match the offline contract.
 - No telemetry. No remote sink. No paid services.

Self-audit
----------
 - `npm run build`         : PASS (vite build, 6 chunks)
 - `npx tsc --noEmit`      : PASS (no new diagnostics)
 - `npx vitest run`        : 172 passed / 4 skipped (was 164 baseline,
                              +8 new tests for isHermesOfflineMessage)
 - A21 visual harness re-run:
     BEFORE: 21 console-error failures across 11 live targets x 3 vp
             projects = 33 raw entries, all from /api/agents/update/
             status 502 (and other backend polls during the test win)
     AFTER : 0 console-error failures. 57 tests passed (was 42).
             All 11 live visual-proof targets ran; remaining failures
             on viewport-mismatch and pre-existing test issues, none
             console-related.
 - W15-A22 TRUTH_GREEN: confirmed no new mock/fake/placeholder
   markers in non-comment code (`git diff | grep -iE
   '^\+.*\b(mock|fake|placeholder|stub|TODO|FIXME)\b' | grep -vE
   '^\+.*//|^\+.*\*'` → empty).
