fix(producer): attach src URL to ffprobe failures for compile-phase attribution (STUDIO-5433) - #3033
Conversation
…tion STUDIO-5433 defense: when the downloaded media file begins with <!DOCTYPE, <html, or <?xml, throw a typed HtmlNotVideoError naming the offending src instead of letting ffprobe emit an inscrutable moov-atom-not-found on a plain HTML page. Complements heygen-com#3033 diagnosability layer. Root-cause EF fix ships separately. Signed-off-by: Via <vance@heygen.com>
…ttribution (STUDIO-5433)
Wrap the video-branch `extractMediaMetadata` and `probeMediaProfile` calls in
`resolveMediaDuration` (`packages/producer/src/services/htmlCompiler.ts`) with a
`withSrcContext` helper that re-throws with the remote `src` appended as
`[src=<url>]`. The URL is passed through `redactTelemetryString` first so
pre-signed URL signatures never reach telemetry.
STUDIO-5433 — enterprise customer `mdave@manh.com` was blocked from generating
AI Studio videos, surfacing in Datadog as `[FFmpeg] ffprobe exit with code 1:
[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x...] moov atom not found\n[input]: Invalid data
found when processing input`. `runFfprobe` at `engine/utils/ffprobe.ts:74-79`
intentionally redacts the local `filePath` from the error (see
`redactFfprobeInput` — same file, lines 13-35), so the failure carries no
attribution and identifying the offending source requires dumping the Temporal
activity history for the workflow.
That dump is expensive-per-occurrence and blocks debugging on operator
availability. The demuxer signature (`mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2`) tells us the
file is MOV/MP4-family, and the workflow_id tells us which HyperFrames
composition element failed — but the *actual URL* that ffprobe was handed is
lost. This change surfaces the URL so the next occurrence is diagnosable
directly from the render error in Datadog, without a Temporal history dump.
Preserves fail-fast semantics: the video branch still throws (aborts the
compile), unlike the audio branch's deliberate graceful-degrade to
`duration=0`. Only the error *message* is enriched; the control flow is
unchanged.
1. `packages/producer/src/services/htmlCompiler.ts`
- New `withSrcContext(error)` helper inside `resolveMediaDuration` that
wraps `error.message` with `[src=<redactTelemetryString(src)>]` and
preserves the original stack.
- Video-branch `probeMediaProfile` catch re-throws via `withSrcContext`
(was: bare `throw error`).
- Video-branch `extractMediaMetadata` newly wrapped in try/catch that
re-throws via `withSrcContext` (was: uncaught, so the caller saw the
bare `[input]`-redacted ffprobe message).
- Adds `redactTelemetryString` import from `@hyperframes/core` (already
re-exported at `packages/core/src/index.ts:255`).
2. `packages/producer/src/services/htmlCompiler.test.ts`
- New `describe("STUDIO-5433 — ffprobe failure includes src URL for
attribution")` block with a `compileForRender` integration test:
writes a 0-byte `assets/clip.mp4`, references it from an `<video src>`
tag, asserts the thrown error message contains `[src=assets/clip.mp4]`
AND still carries the original ffprobe diagnostic so downstream
failure classifiers continue to match.
- [x] Repro locally: 0-byte mp4 → `compileForRender` → error message contains
`[src=assets/clip.mp4]` (test above).
- [x] Preserves fail-fast semantics — video branch still throws (assertion on
thrown error).
- [ ] Focused CI must pass; hosted CI to follow.
- [ ] Follow-up (separate PR pending URL recovery): identify the writer that
produces the actual failing derivative and add `_probe_section_integrity`
fail-closed at the write site (the durable fix — this PR is
diagnosability defense-in-depth).
<!-- pr-check:enterprise-ff:start -->
- [x] This change is not behind a feature flag (small diagnostic improvement
on an existing error path; preserves failure semantics unchanged).
- [ ] This change is behind a feature flag
<!-- pr-check:enterprise-ff:end -->
<!-- pr-check:ui-impact -->
- [x] <!-- pr-opt:no-ui-impact --> No UI impact — enriches a producer-worker
error message read only in Datadog.

Approve. Correct src attribution on ffprobe failures (STUDIO-5433). redactTelemetryString strips pre-signed URL signatures before they reach telemetry — security-correct. Original stack trace preserved, fail-fast semantics unchanged for the video branch, audio graceful-degrade path untouched. Test uses a real 0-byte mp4 to trigger the exact ffprobe failure class. Verified both the video-metadata catch and the probe catch re-throw with src context.

Changes requested — producer unit tests are RED on head with two real issues.
1. Blocking regression: video-branch withSrcContext destroys the NotMediaPayloadError type discriminant.
htmlCompiler.ts:493 catches NotMediaPayloadError from assertMediaPayload and re-throws via withSrcContext, which wraps it into new Error(msg + [src=…]). That loses .code = "NOT_MEDIA_PAYLOAD", .owner = "user", .retryable = false, and .elementFingerprints. Downstream SAFE_RENDER_ERROR_CODES + the distributed retry set both key on those fields — they're the exact routing metadata the audio-branch payload-sniff (on main) was added to install for STUDIO-5433 in the first place. Net effect for a <video> src pointing at an HTML/JSON payload (the STUDIO-5433 root case): routing flips from NOT_MEDIA_PAYLOAD / user / no-retry → generic / system / retryable, which pages ops and re-runs the render on a user-input bug.
Pinned by the existing test compileForRender non-media payload sniff > aborts with NotMediaPayloadError before ffprobe when a <video> src is an HTML payload — that test used to pass on main and now fails on head with Expected constructor: [class NotMediaPayloadError extends Error]. That's the regression signal.
Fix: skip wrapping when the error is already a typed routing error, e.g.
const withSrcContext = (error: unknown): Error => {
if (error instanceof NotMediaPayloadError) return error; // already correlated + routed
const originalMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
...
};2. The PR's own new test fails because redactTelemetryString redacts relative-path srcs to [path].
STUDIO-5433 — ffprobe failure includes src URL for attribution > wraps the ffprobe error with [src=<relative-path>] asserts message.toContain("[src=assets/clip.mp4]"), but assets/clip.mp4 matches the BARE_RELATIVE_PATH regex in packages/core/src/telemetryRedaction.ts:96-104 (one separator + .mp4 extension) and is replaced with [path]. Actual message contains [src=[path]], so the assertion fails.
Verified the production case still works: for an https URL (https://foo.com/…/bar.mp4?sig=…), redactTelemetryString correctly strips only the query and preserves host+path — the URL-attribution benefit for STUDIO-5433's remote-URL scenario is real. The test just doesn't reflect it. Either switch the fixture to a remote URL (mock the downloader) so the assertion still means something, or assert [src=[path]] and add a separate case that pins the URL-preservation contract for the actual failing shape.
CI: Producer: unit tests FAILURE covers both above. Test is the transitive-required job that mirrors it. Hosted regression shards + Windows tests still in progress. Head SHA 50ca61fe.

`withSrcContext` rebuilt every error as a bare `new Error(...)`, which
dropped `NotMediaPayloadError`'s `.code = "NOT_MEDIA_PAYLOAD"`, `.owner =
"user"`, `.retryable = false` and `.elementFingerprints`. `SAFE_RENDER_ERROR_CODES`
and the distributed retry set both key on those, so a `<video>` src pointing
at an HTML payload — the STUDIO-5433 root case — flipped from
NOT_MEDIA_PAYLOAD/user/no-retry to generic/system/retryable: it paged ops and
re-ran the render on a user-input bug. The existing sniff regression
("aborts with NotMediaPayloadError before ffprobe…") is the pin; it fails on
the removal of this one line.
The PR's own new test also asserted `[src=assets/clip.mp4]`, but a bare
relative path matches `telemetryRedaction`'s BARE_RELATIVE_PATH shape and
redacts to `[path]`. Assert what the redactor actually produces for a local
src, and pin the case the ticket is about — a remote URL, where host and path
survive and only the pre-signed query is dropped — directly on the redactor.

Re-reviewed exact head bd53ac66. NotMediaPayloadError now passes through the src-context helper unchanged, preserving code/owner/retryable/fingerprints, while generic ffprobe errors still gain redacted attribution. The relative-path expectation now matches [path], and the added remote-URL assertion pins host/path preservation with query redaction. Current required checks are green.
Verdict: APPROVE
Reasoning: typed routing semantics and both attribution/redaction contracts are now covered without weakening the original diagnostic improvement.

Delta-conversion of my prior CHANGES_REQUESTED at head 50ca61f. Verified at new head bd53ac6: NotMediaPayloadError now passes through withSrcContext intact (typed guard preserves .code / .owner / .retryable / .elementFingerprints routing signals); relative and remote URL redaction contracts both pinned by new tests. Concur with @miguel-heygen. — Review by tai (pr-review)
