Review Flow PR 2 of 5. Editor tool failures now reach the same durable queue as failures from folders, buckets and webhooks. ## What's added **A report endpoint** — `POST /api/v1/file-run-events/reports`, open to any authenticated user. Takes four fields: `operation`, `errorCode`, `fileIds`, `detail`. No team, no actor, no filename: the first two come from the session, the third is never a field. Refused with 400 above 200 file ids, and nothing is written when refused. **Automatic reporting from every tool** — wired into `useToolOperation`, so no per-tool work is needed. Client-side refusals (an unsupported format that never reaches the server) are reported too. User cancellations are not. **Error codes parsed from Blob bodies as well as JSON** — a download-typed tool call fails with a Blob, so `errorCodeOf` handles both shapes. **Source attribution for unattended runs** — `sourceId` is threaded from `PolicyRunner` through `PolicyRun` to the recorded row and out to the wire, so a folder, bucket or webhook failure names what fed it. Previously it had none. **Deleting a file closes its failures** — `FileContext.removeFiles` notifies `POST /removed-files`, which transitions those incidents to `FILE_REMOVED`. Terminal, so they leave every reviewer's queue. The rows stay for audit. **The queue can be emptied** — reads now default to open statuses only; ask for a status explicitly to see closed rows. ## Behaviour changes - **Editor failures dedup per person.** `RecordFailure.scopeRef()` includes the actor for TOOL-origin rows, so two people hitting the same failure on the same file are two incidents rather than one. Processor rows are unaffected and their dedup key is byte-identical to before. - **`UNKNOWN` offers only Dismiss.** Acknowledge is no longer offered on it. - **Background reports no longer raise a toast.** Both calls pass `suppressErrorToast`, so a failed report is silent as intended; previously a core build showed the user a "Not Found" toast on every tool failure. ## What is stored File ids only, never names. The request type has no filename field, and a `fileNames` value handed to the client reporter is accepted and ignored. One caveat to review deliberately: the free-text `detail` is stored **verbatim**. `RecordFailure` truncates it at 2000 characters and nothing else; the redaction that used to strip name-shaped text was reverted in `024899f3f6` because it made an unclassified failure impossible to act on. A backend message that embeds a filename (LibreOffice conversion errors, IO errors) will therefore persist that text and show it to a team leader. ## How to test Needs a proprietary or SaaS build with login enabled. `task dev:all` gives you one. 1. **Report a failure from a tool.** Open a PDF, run **Remove Password** on it with a wrong password. Nothing visible changes for you: reporting is silent by design. 2. **See it recorded.** Go to `/processor/documents` and scroll to **Failures** (dev builds only). A row appears titled "Password-protected document", with `Hit by <your user>`. Press **Show raw JSON** to see exactly what was stored. 3. **Confirm no filename is stored as data.** In that JSON, `fileId` is an opaque uuid and there is no name field. Note the `detail` string may contain a filename if the backend put one in its message, per the caveat above. 4. **Confirm the request is capped.** In DevTools, POST to `/api/v1/file-run-events/reports` with 201 entries in `fileIds`. It returns 400 naming the limit, and no rows are added. 5. **Deleting a file clears its failure.** Back in the editor, delete the file you just failed on. Refresh the failures list: its row is gone from the default view. Filter by `FILE_REMOVED` to see it still exists. 6. **Two people, two incidents.** Have a colleague fail the same tool on their own copy of the same file. Two rows, not one occurrence count. ## Migration `source_id` is a new column and `FILE_REMOVED` a new status value. Both are already in the SaaS migration ([Stirling-PDF-SaaS #322](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF-SaaS/pull/322)); self-hosted picks them up from `ddl-auto`.
