Two related failure-path bugs in v0.9.29, both verified live on a long-running instance:

1. Viewer SPA: dashboard flips between stats and the "new install" hero (#1340)

The dashboard reloaded on every WS observation event (plus the 30s timer) with no in-flight guard, fanning out 10 parallel fetches per reload. Under live capture traffic the browser exhausted its per-origin connection budget (net::ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES), api() swallowed failures to null, and loadDashboard() mapped nullsessions: [] — which renderDashboard() treated as a brand-new install. Result: stats → hero → stats → hero, endlessly.

Fix (src/viewer/index.html):

  • requestDashboardReload(): serialize + coalesce reloads (WS events, 30s timer, polling fallback, tab re-entry); throttle WS-driven reloads to ~1/s.
  • loadDashboard(): apply only successful fetches, keep last-good data on failure; renderDashboard() shows a "refresh failed — showing data from HH:MM" notice instead of the first-run hero, which is now gated on a successful empty sessions response.

2. mem::summarize: dead noop gate → failure storm with no LLM key (#1341)

provider.name === "noop" never matches because providers are always wrapped in ResilientProvider (name resilient(noop)). With no LLM key every mem::summarize (fired on each session-end) ran the full chunk pipeline, always failed (too_many_chunks_skipped), and recorded a failure metric + error spam per call (243 failures / 0 success accumulated).

Fix (src/functions/summarize.ts + regression tests): use provider.name.includes("noop") — the same pattern already used in graph extraction. Tests cover both the bare and resilient-wrapped noop provider: short-circuit to no_provider, never call the provider.

Verification (live, patched deployment)

  • Viewer: 5 min under live traffic (83 sessions, 77 active) → 0 hero, 0 ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, 0 [viewer] API error lines; failure injection (kill -STOP the REST worker) → stale-data notice, never the hero, recovery on resume.
  • Summarize: POST /summarize short-circuits to no_provider (single info log, zero chunk work, zero failure metrics); functionMetrics flat with zero new failures.

Fixes #1340, #1341

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Dashboard refreshes now preserve the last successfully loaded data when a subsequent request fails.
    • Added a clear notice when dashboard data may be outdated after an unsuccessful refresh.
    • Improved refresh behavior during rapid updates, tab re-entry, and automatic polling to prevent redundant reloads.
    • Empty-state messaging now appears only after a successful response confirming that no sessions exist.
    • Providers identified as no-op variants are consistently handled as unavailable instead of being invoked.

The noop short-circuit checked provider.name === "noop", but providers
are always wrapped in ResilientProvider (name "resilient(noop)"), so the
gate never matched. With no LLM key every mem::summarize ran the full
chunk pipeline, always failed (too_many_chunks_skipped), and recorded a
failure metric + error-log spam per call.

Use provider.name.includes("noop") (the same pattern already used in
graph extraction). Add regression tests for both the bare and the
resilient-wrapped noop provider: short-circuit to no_provider and never
call the provider.

Fixes rohitg00#1341
…ith empty

The dashboard reloaded on every WS observation event (and the 30s timer)
with no in-flight guard, fanning out 10 parallel fetches per reload. Under
live capture traffic bursts the browser exhausted its connection budget
(net::ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES), api() swallowed the failures to null,
and loadDashboard() mapped null to sessions: [] — which renderDashboard()
treated as a brand-new install, flipping the dashboard between real stats
and the first-run hero endlessly.

- requestDashboardReload(): serialize + coalesce reloads (WS events, 30s
  timer, polling fallback, tab re-entry); throttle WS-driven reloads to
  ~1/s.
- loadDashboard(): apply only successful fetches, keep last-good data on
  failure; renderDashboard() shows a 'refresh failed — showing data from
  HH:MM' notice instead of the first-run hero, which is now gated on a
  successful empty sessions response.

Verified live: 5 min under live traffic (83 sessions, 77 active) -> 0 hero,
0 ERR_INSUFFICIENT_RESOURCES, 0 API-error lines; failure injection
(kill -STOP the REST worker) -> stale-data notice, never the hero, recovery
on resume.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The viewer now preserves last-good dashboard data after failed refreshes and coalesces reload triggers. The summarize handler recognizes provider names containing noop, with tests for exact and wrapped provider names.

Changes

Dashboard refresh resilience

Layer / File(s) Summary
Preserve and render dashboard state
src/viewer/index.html
Successful API results remain applied when other requests fail. The dashboard records session failure state, preserves last-good data, shows a stale-data notice, and avoids the first-run hero after failed requests.
Coalesce dashboard reload triggers
src/viewer/index.html
Tab loading, polling, WebSocket events, and manual refreshes use requestDashboardReload(). Concurrent reloads are serialized, trailing reloads are coalesced, and WebSocket reloads are throttled.

No-op provider short-circuit

Layer / File(s) Summary
Match no-op provider variants
src/functions/summarize.ts, test/summarize.test.ts
Provider names containing noop return no_provider without invoking summarize. Tests cover resilient(noop) and noop.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ef549

Dashboard refresh behavior and no-op provider handling are updated, but the new regression tests should use the required iii-sdk mocking pattern before merge to ensure the coverage reflects production SDK interactions.

Use the required iii-sdk mock pattern.

The added tests use setupHandler, which creates local mockSdk() and mockKV() objects. Replace that setup with vi.mock("iii-sdk"), including mocks for sdk.trigger, kv.get, kv.set, and kv.list, so these tests follow the repository test contract.

As per coding guidelines, test files must mock iii-sdk using vi.mock("iii-sdk"), including sdk.trigger, kv.get, kv.set, and kv.list.
