oauth: let the debugger's warnings arrive as warnings - #4483
Conversation
`reportCaught` sent PostHog a property named `level`. PostHog error tracking groups, alerts and filters on `$exception_level`, and `captureException(err, props)` merges `props` over the properties it built — so `level` landed as a custom property nothing reads, and every report kept the `error` default whatever the caller declared. Only one caller declares anything else, and it is the loudest source in the project. `oauth_debugger_step` is `warning` on purpose: it reports the server UNDER TEST misbehaving, which is what a debugger is for, and its value is the aggregate trend rather than a page. It alerted as an Inspector crash anyway — 378 events across 97 users in 18 days, more than half of every client `$exception`. Sentry had the level right the whole time, which is why two earlier passes (#3955, #3959) could quiet Sentry message by message and leave PostHog untouched. `level` is kept alongside `$exception_level`: it has been on these events since the sink was written, and dropping it would break any saved filter. Second, smaller: a step that fails writes its bare message and then the same message with the recovery hint appended, and exact comparison saw two strings rather than one refusal — 29 of those 378 were a failure reported twice a millisecond apart. `isSameStepFailure` compares by prefix, in either order, which is narrow enough that an unrelated failure cannot be swallowed: it never begins with the whole text of the one before it. Neither change hides anything. The events still arrive; they stop claiming to be crashes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Walkthrough
Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change routes debugger warnings correctly and removes duplicate OAuth failure reports, but the current implementation may still hide distinct prefix-related failures and allow extra telemetry fields to override the declared severity. These bounded correctness issues should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merge. Thanks for using CodeRabbit! It's free for OSS, and your support helps us grow.

Keep $exception_level authoritative.
reportCaught passes ...(options.extra ?? {}) after $exception_level, so extra: { $exception_level: "error" } overwrites a declared level: "warning". Spread options.extra first, then assign $exception_level, and add a regression test for this collision.

Restrict deduplication to the recovery hint.
isSameStepFailure returns true for any prefix pair. For example, "Request failed" and "Request failed: timeout" are deduplicated even when they represent separate failures. withStepFailureReporting then skips reportCaught, so unrelated failures can be hidden.
Remove only the exact recovery-hint suffix before comparing messages. Add a regression case for distinct messages where one is a prefix of the other.

Triage of the PostHog alert on
Dynamic Client Registration failed (400).What the alert actually was
Four events, one user, two sessions, all from
http://127.0.0.1:6274/p/…/oauth-flow— someone debugging their own MCP server's OAuth handshake on their own machine. The four messages under that one title:Dynamic Client Registration failed (400).Dynamic Client Registration failed (400). Configure a pre-registered client…Authenticated request failed: 401 Unauthorized…Unsupported protocol version: 2026-07-28. Supported versions: 2025-11-25, …All
$exception_handled: true. None of them is the Inspector failing. Three unrelated problems and one duplicate, filed under a title naming only one of them.The defect
withStepFailureReportingalready decided this, in as many words:That decision never reached PostHog.
reportCaughtpasses a property namedlevel; PostHog error tracking groups, alerts and filters on$exception_level, andcaptureException(err, props)mergespropsover the properties it built — solevellanded as a custom property nothing reads and theerrordefault stood.Measured over 30 days — every source, declared level vs. recorded level:
oauth_debugger_stepreact_boundaryroute_error_elementclientreact_boundary:integrations_github_checkschat_request_failedoauth_debugger_stepis the only source that declares anything buterror, so it is the only one this ever affected — and it is more than half of every client$exceptionin the project. Sentry had the level right the whole time (Sentry.captureExceptiontakesleveldirectly), which is why the two earlier passes at this noise, #3955 and #3959, could quiet Sentry message by message and leave PostHog untouched.The second, smaller one
The two DCR events landed at
19:06:44.276and.277. The SDK writes the bare message, then the same message with the recovery hint appended (errorWithFallbackHintis${error} ${FALLBACK_HINT}); the dedupe compared exact strings, saw two, and reported both. 29 of the 378 are a single refusal reported twice.isSameStepFailurecompares by prefix in either order. Narrow on purpose: an unrelated failure never begins with the whole text of the one before it, so widening a step's message cannot swallow the next step's. Pinned by a test in both directions plus a negative.Neither change hides anything
The events still arrive in PostHog. They stop claiming to be crashes, so alert rules can key on severity instead of on a growing list of message patterns.
Not done here
106 distinct messages are collapsing into 33 issues — one issue holds 54 of them. Cause is in the event data, not in this code:
"resolve_failure": "Refusing to fetch from non-public address: http://127.0.0.1:6274/assets/index-BxFnJSWw.js". PostHog cannot fetch source maps from a localhost bundle, so every frame stays minified and identical, and grouping falls back to the stack. That is why the alert title named a DCR failure while the issue also contained a 401 and a protocol-version mismatch. Fixing it means uploading source maps at release rather than resolving them at read time — a build-pipeline change, out of scope here.Token request failed: [object Object] - Unknown error— 60 events across three issues. An object reaching string concatenation; the real reason is lost before it is ever reported. Separate bug, worth its own fix.Tests
All four new tests verified to fail without the fix and pass with it.

Summary by cubic
Fixes OAuth debugger failure reporting so warnings reach PostHog as warnings instead of errors, and a single failure with an appended recovery hint is no longer reported twice.
