iroh-v2: name the cause and location of every unclassified failure

[azooz2003-bit]

Production still logs about 5 iroh.control.failure internal_error events per hour (up from 17/day on 09-19 to 116 on 09-24), and they carry no path, operation or cause, so nobody can tell what fails. This makes every unclassified failure name where it happened and which known failure class it is, without recording message text.

• errorSummary maps storage-guard and Workers/Durable Object runtime failures (code updated, reset, overloaded, network lost, storage timeout, memory/CPU limits, SQLite busy/full/constraint, aborted, timed out) to fixed tags, and adds the runtime's retryable / overloaded / remote flags. Unknown messages stay a bare error name.
• iroh.control.failure gains route (socket/session/request), stage (parse/authenticate/charge/dispatch) and operation. iroh.team.failure gains route and stage (execute/open/accept/ready). Dashboard and top-level HTTP failures gain cause.
• UserUsage reports unclassified RPC failures through observe (Axiom/Sentry) instead of console.error, which only reached live tails.

Tests: routing test asserts a Durable Object "code was updated" failure during dispatch logs route=request stage=dispatch operation=directory.request cause=Error:do_code_updated+retryable with no message text, and that an upstream auth throw logs stage=authenticate. Error tests cover runtime tags, flags and classified errors carrying no cause. bun run check (76) and bun run test:runtime (11/8/20) pass on Bun 1.4.2.

Follow-up to #14386 / #14363.

Summary by cubic

Names the cause and location of every unclassified failure in iroh-v2, replacing opaque internal_error events that carried no path, operation, or cause.

• errorSummary maps storage-guard and Workers/Durable Object runtime failures to fixed tags, adds the runtime's retryable / overloaded / remote flags, and never records message text.
• iroh.control.failure gains route, stage, and operation; iroh.team.failure gains route and stage (execute/open/accept/send/ready); dashboard and top-level HTTP failures gain cause.
• Team-control route is now derived from the allowlisted pathname before reading the internal request, so read failures keep their route.
• UserUsage unclassified RPC failures now report through observe (Axiom/Sentry) with status 500 instead of console.error, which only reached live tails.

^{Written for commit 7959971. Summary will update on new commits.}

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Failure reports include consistent diagnostic details, such as the affected route, processing stage, and requested operation.
  • Error details use normalized summaries instead of raw messages and indicate when a failure may be temporary or related to capacity.
  • Dashboard, request, and usage failures include additional diagnostic details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Failure observations now include normalized error diagnostics. Routing and team-control observations also record the request route and processing stage. User-usage failures emit unclassified-error observations through operation-specific reporters.

Changes

Failure telemetry

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize failure diagnostics workers/iroh-v2/src/errors.ts, workers/iroh-v2/test/errors.test.ts	errorSummary recognizes additional error names and failure markers, adds runtime flags, and allows summaries up to 200 characters. failureDiagnostics omits details for OperationError; tests cover the returned diagnostics.
Add route and stage context workers/iroh-v2/src/routing.ts, workers/iroh-v2/src/team-control.ts, workers/iroh-v2/test/routing.test.ts	Failure observations include route and stage. Routing also records the requested operation. Tests check these fields and verify that the serialized event omits the error message.
Add diagnostics to failure events workers/iroh-v2/src/dashboard-control.ts, workers/iroh-v2/src/dashboard-routing.ts, workers/iroh-v2/src/index.ts	Dashboard and HTTP failure observations include fields returned by failureDiagnostics.
Report user-usage failures workers/iroh-v2/src/user-usage-object.ts	User-usage operations pass diagnostic causes to a reporter that emits unclassified-error observations. This replaces direct console logging of unclassified errors.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 79599

The change adds context to failure events without an established disruption to request handling. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains, subject to ordinary checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 79599

Failure diagnostics now reach existing monitoring services. The recorded causes use bounded labels rather than error messages, and the reviewed changes do not show broader access to team operations. Monitoring access and retention remain outside the available evidence.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The new diagnostic fields can reach monitoring for failures across the affected Iroh v2 paths. The reviewed changes do not add a caller or grant authority to team operations.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — A client-supplied operation identifier is mapped to a known operation name or input.rejected before it is recorded. TeamControl labels an unrecognized raw path as unknown, while its operation dispatch uses the validated internal path.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Observation delivery is registered as background work; the sender caps concurrent in-flight deliveries and records dropped-event and sink-failure notices.

record the send stage before the call, and set the stage to ready only after it
succeeds.

awaiting readInternalRequest, so read failures retain the correct route for
/request, /session, or /socket instead of reporting "unknown"; keep
authorization in readInternalRequest.
