Process Error Logs

Automated workflow for processing error logs from /admin/logs.

CRITICAL REQUIREMENTS

YOU MUST FOLLOW THESE RULES. NO EXCEPTIONS.

1. BEADS IS MANDATORY

EVERY error MUST have a Beads task. No direct fixes without tracking.

# ALWAYS run this FIRST for each error:
bd create --type=bug --priority=<1-3> --title="Fix: <error_message>" --files "<relevant_files>"
bd update <task_id> --status=in_progress

2. TASK COMPLEXITY ROUTING

Route tasks by complexity:

Complexity	Examples	Action
Simple	Typo fix, single import, config value	Execute directly
Medium	Multi-file fix, migration, API change	Delegate to subagent
Complex	Architecture change, new feature	Ask user first

Subagent selection for MEDIUM tasks:

• DB/migration → database-architect
• API/tRPC → fullstack-nextjs-specialist
• Types → typescript-types-specialist
• UI → nextjs-ui-designer

Execute directly for SIMPLE tasks:

• Single-line fix (typo, wrong value)
• Import path correction
• Config constant change
• Comment fix

3. CONTEXT7 IS MANDATORY

ALWAYS query documentation before implementing:

mcp__context7__resolve-library-id → mcp__context7__query-docs

4. BUG FIXING PRINCIPLES

This is PRODUCTION. Every bug matters.

Fix fundamentally, not superficially:

• Find and fix the ROOT CAUSE, not just symptoms
• If error happens in function X but cause is in function Y → fix Y
• Don't add workarounds/hacks that mask the problem
• Ask: "Why did this happen?" until you reach the actual cause

Never ignore errors:

• Every error indicates a real problem
• "Works most of the time" is NOT acceptable
• External service errors → add retry logic or graceful degradation
• Config warnings → fix config or make truly optional

Propose improvements:

• If you see code that could be better → create separate Beads task
• If fix reveals related issues → document them
• If pattern repeats → suggest refactoring to prevent future bugs
• Format: bd create --type=chore --title="Improve: <description>"

Quality over speed:

• Take time to understand the full context
• Test the fix mentally: "What else could break?"
• Check for similar patterns elsewhere in codebase
• One good fix > multiple quick patches

5. LOG NOTES (MANDATORY)

Always write notes when updating log status. Keep it brief, in English.

Status	What to write in notes
resolved	Root cause + fix applied. Example: Missing constraint. Added 'approved' to enum via migration.
auto_muted	System-assigned. Don't change. Skip these errors in processing.
ignored	Never use. Fix or ask user.
to_verify	Why pending + what to check. Example: External API timeout. Monitor for 24h.
in_progress	Beads task ID. Example: Working on mc2-5ch

Format: <root_cause>. <action_taken>. — Max 100 chars.

Examples:

• ESM import conflict. Renamed generator.ts to generator-node.ts.
• Constraint missing 'approved'. Added via migration 20250115_fix_status.
• Cloudflare 500. External issue, retry logic already exists. Monitoring.

6. AUTO-MUTED ERRORS

Some errors are automatically ignored by the system with status auto_muted. These are expected events, NOT bugs.

Current auto-mute rules (from src/shared/logger/auto-classification.ts):

Pattern	Reason	Description
Redis connection (ended|closed)	graceful_shutdown	Redis disconnects during app restart
graceful.*shutdown	graceful_shutdown	Server shutdown events during deploys
/api/trpc/health.*404	monitoring_probe	tRPC health endpoint probes (Uptime Kuma)
/health.*404	monitoring_probe	Generic health check probes
Cloudflare.*5\d{2}	external_service	Cloudflare edge errors (502, 503, 521)
ECONNRESET.*external	external_service	External API connection resets
Layer failed, trying next	cascading_repair	Repair layer failed, trying next layer
Critique-revise attempt failed	cascading_repair	Layer 2 retry attempt failed
Zod.*validation failed.*Layer	cascading_repair	Layer 1 validation failed, escalating
Job stalled	job_lifecycle	BullMQ job restarted (long LLM operations)
Unexpected exit code: 10	job_lifecycle	Worker TTL timeout (10 min), will retry
No RAG chunks found	expected_behavior	Course without docs, generates w/o RAG
Mermaid.*fallback.*used	graceful_fallback	Diagram gen failed, fallback to text

Total rules: 29 (test validates sync with code)

When you see auto_muted errors:

• Skip them in processing — they don't need fixes
• If you see a pattern that should be auto-muted, add it to auto-classification.ts

How to add a new auto-mute rule:

1. Edit packages/course-gen-platform/src/shared/logger/auto-classification.ts:

   {
     pattern: /your-pattern/i,
     reason: 'category',  // graceful_shutdown | monitoring_probe | external_service
     description: 'Why this is expected',
   }
   

2. Update this SKILL.md with the new pattern

When NOT to auto-mute:

• Errors that SOMETIMES indicate real problems
• New error types (analyze first, then decide)
• Anything affecting user experience

7. SEARCH SIMILAR PROBLEMS FIRST (MANDATORY)

Before fixing ANY error, search BOTH sources:

7a. Search in Beads (closed bug tasks)

# Search by error keywords
bd search "<keyword>" --type=bug --status=closed

# Example searches:
bd search "constraint violation"
bd search "tRPC timeout"
bd search "undefined property"

What to look for in Beads:

• Similar error patterns in task titles
• Root cause analysis in task descriptions
• Fix approach and files changed

7b. Search in error_logs (resolved errors)

-- Search similar errors by message (use mcp__supabase__execute_sql)
SELECT el.id, el.error_message, el.severity, lis.status, lis.notes, el.created_at
FROM error_logs el
LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON lis.log_id = el.id AND lis.log_type = 'error_log'
WHERE to_tsvector('english', el.error_message) @@ plainto_tsquery('english', '<keyword>')
  AND lis.status = 'resolved'
ORDER BY el.created_at DESC
LIMIT 5;

What to search for:

• Key error terms: constraint, undefined, timeout, not found
• Function/module names from stack trace
• Error codes or specific identifiers

7c. If found similar resolved issue

1. From Beads: Read task description for root cause and fix approach
2. From error_logs: Read the notes field — contains root cause and fix
3. Apply same solution pattern if applicable
4. Reference in your notes: Similar to mc2-xxx / <date>. Same fix applied.

7d. If NOT found — create Beads task (MANDATORY)

Every new error MUST have a Beads task before fixing:

# 1. Create task with all required fields
bd create --type=bug --priority=<1-3> --title="Fix: <error_message>" --files "<relevant_files>"

# 2. Start working
bd update <task_id> --status=in_progress

# 3. After fix - close with detailed reason
bd close <task_id> --reason="Root cause: <why>. Fix: <what was done>."

Beads task MUST include:

• Clear title with error essence
• Priority based on severity (CRITICAL=1, ERROR=2, WARNING=3)
• Files that will be modified (--files)
• Closing reason with root cause explanation

Usage

Invoke via: /process-logs or "обработай логи ошибок"

Workflow

Step 1: Fetch New Errors

IMPORTANT: The /admin/logs UI shows errors from TWO tables:

1. error_logs — system errors, validation failures, worker errors
2. generation_trace (where error_data IS NOT NULL) — LLM generation errors

Both tables must be checked. Logs without a log_issue_status record show as "Новый" (new) in the UI.

1a. Check error_logs

-- Use mcp__supabase__execute_sql
-- NOTE: This excludes auto_muted errors (they are handled automatically)
SELECT el.id, el.severity, el.error_message, el.metadata, el.stack_trace,
       el.course_id, el.lesson_id, el.request_id, el.trpc_path, el.trpc_input, el.attempted_value
FROM error_logs el
LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON lis.log_id = el.id AND lis.log_type = 'error_log'
WHERE lis.id IS NULL OR (lis.status NOT IN ('resolved', 'ignored', 'auto_muted'))
ORDER BY
  CASE el.severity WHEN 'CRITICAL' THEN 1 WHEN 'ERROR' THEN 2 ELSE 3 END,
  el.created_at DESC
LIMIT 20;

1b. Check generation_trace (LLM errors)

-- generation_trace with error_data shows as ERROR in UI
SELECT gt.id, gt.created_at, gt.stage, gt.phase, gt.step_name, gt.course_id,
       (gt.error_data->>'message')::text as error_message
FROM generation_trace gt
LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON gt.id = lis.log_id AND lis.log_type = 'generation_trace'
WHERE gt.error_data IS NOT NULL
  AND (lis.id IS NULL OR lis.status NOT IN ('resolved', 'ignored', 'auto_muted'))
ORDER BY gt.created_at DESC
LIMIT 20;

1c. Quick count check

-- Quick check: how many "new" errors in each table?
SELECT
  'error_logs' as source,
  (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM error_logs el
   LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON el.id = lis.log_id AND lis.log_type = 'error_log'
   WHERE lis.id IS NULL) as new_count
UNION ALL
SELECT
  'generation_trace' as source,
  (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM generation_trace gt
   LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON gt.id = lis.log_id AND lis.log_type = 'generation_trace'
   WHERE gt.error_data IS NOT NULL AND lis.id IS NULL) as new_count;

Step 1.5: Filter by Environment (IMPORTANT)

CRITICAL: Both DEV and STAGE are production-like servers. ALL errors on these environments must be investigated and fixed. Only LOCAL (NULL) can be bulk-resolved.

The error_logs table has an environment column that indicates where the error occurred:

Value	Environment	Action
NULL	Local dev	Bulk resolve — local testing/development only
'dev'	Dev server	MUST FIX — real errors affecting developers
'stage'	Staging (prod)	MUST FIX — real production errors

Always check environment distribution first:

-- Check how many errors per environment
SELECT environment, COUNT(*) as count
FROM error_logs el
LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON lis.fingerprint = el.fingerprint
WHERE lis.id IS NULL
GROUP BY environment
ORDER BY count DESC;

Bulk resolve LOCAL errors only:

-- Bulk resolve ONLY local environment errors (environment IS NULL)
-- NEVER bulk resolve dev or stage errors - they must be investigated individually!
WITH local_fingerprints AS (
  SELECT DISTINCT ON (el.fingerprint) el.id, el.fingerprint
  FROM error_logs el
  LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON lis.fingerprint = el.fingerprint
  WHERE lis.id IS NULL
    AND el.environment IS NULL
    AND el.fingerprint IS NOT NULL
  ORDER BY el.fingerprint, el.created_at DESC
)
INSERT INTO log_issue_status (log_type, log_id, status, notes, fingerprint, updated_at)
SELECT 'error_log', lf.id, 'resolved', 'Local environment: Testing/development errors', lf.fingerprint, NOW()
FROM local_fingerprints lf
ON CONFLICT (log_type, log_id) DO UPDATE SET status = 'resolved', notes = EXCLUDED.notes, updated_at = NOW();

Focus on server errors (dev + stage):

-- Get only SERVER errors (dev and stage environments)
SELECT
  el.environment,
  el.fingerprint,
  el.severity,
  MIN(el.error_message) as error_message,
  COUNT(*) as count,
  MAX(el.created_at) as last_seen
FROM error_logs el
LEFT JOIN log_issue_status lis ON lis.fingerprint = el.fingerprint
WHERE lis.id IS NULL
  AND el.fingerprint IS NOT NULL
  AND el.environment IS NOT NULL  -- Exclude local (NULL)
GROUP BY el.environment, el.fingerprint, el.severity
ORDER BY
  CASE el.severity WHEN 'CRITICAL' THEN 1 WHEN 'ERROR' THEN 2 ELSE 3 END,
  COUNT(*) DESC
LIMIT 20;

Why this matters:

• Local testing generates thousands of errors (incomplete data, experiments)
• Dev and stage servers have real errors that need investigation
• Bulk resolving only local (NULL) errors saves time without missing real bugs

Step 2: For EACH Error (Loop)

FOR each error:
  1. CREATE BEADS TASK (MANDATORY):
     bd create --type=bug --priority=<1-3> --title="Fix: <message>" --files "<files>"
     bd update <id> --status=in_progress

  2. ANALYZE error type and SELECT subagent:
     - DB constraint → database-architect
     - tRPC/API → fullstack-nextjs-specialist
     - Types → typescript-types-specialist
     - UI → nextjs-ui-designer

  3. QUERY context7 for relevant docs

  4. DELEGATE using Task tool:
     Task(subagent_type="<selected>", prompt="Fix error: <details>...")

  5. VERIFY results (MANDATORY):
     - Read tool: check modified files
     - Bash: pnpm type-check && pnpm build
     - If errors → re-delegate

  6. MARK resolved in DB:
     -- For error_logs:
     INSERT INTO log_issue_status (log_type, log_id, status, notes, updated_at)
     VALUES ('error_log', '<id>', 'resolved', 'Fixed: <desc>', NOW())
     ON CONFLICT (log_type, log_id) DO UPDATE SET status = 'resolved', notes = EXCLUDED.notes, updated_at = NOW();

     -- For generation_trace:
     INSERT INTO log_issue_status (log_type, log_id, status, notes, updated_at)
     VALUES ('generation_trace', '<id>', 'resolved', 'Fixed: <desc>', NOW())
     ON CONFLICT (log_type, log_id) DO UPDATE SET status = 'resolved', notes = EXCLUDED.notes, updated_at = NOW();

  7. CLOSE Beads task:
     bd close <id> --reason="Fixed"

Step 3: Summary Report

## Log Processing Summary

| Severity | Fixed | Pending | To Verify |
| -------- | ----- | ------- | --------- |
| CRITICAL | X     | Y       | Z         |
| ERROR    | X     | Y       | Z         |
| WARNING  | X     | Y       | Z         |

### Beads Tasks Created:

- mc2-xxx: <description> → <status>

### Pending (need user input):

- <log_id>: <reason>

Architecture Note

The /admin/logs page aggregates errors from two sources:

Table	log_type	What it contains
error_logs	'error_log'	System errors, validation, worker failures
generation_trace	'generation_trace'	LLM errors (where error_data IS NOT NULL)

Status is tracked in log_issue_status table with composite key (log_type, log_id).

UI Logic: If no log_issue_status record exists → status shows as "Новый" (new).

Grouped View (fingerprint)

The UI has two views:

1. List view — individual logs, status by log_id
2. Grouped view — errors grouped by fingerprint, status by fingerprint

Auto-sync trigger (trg_sync_log_status_fingerprint):

• When you INSERT/UPDATE log_issue_status for an error_log
• The trigger automatically copies fingerprint from error_logs
• This ensures grouped view shows correct status

IMPORTANT: You don't need to manually handle fingerprint — the trigger does it automatically. Just use the standard INSERT INTO log_issue_status by log_id.
