Render unsupported tracing spans

[casey-brooks]

Summary

• Maps unknown span names to the new unsupported run event type instead of throwing.
• Carries raw unsupported span metadata for fallback rendering.
• Renders unsupported events with neutral timeline list styling and a fallback details view with bounded, collapsed, redacted JSON.
• Leaves organization run list discovery unchanged per scope.

Closes #38

@casey Noa reviewed offline and found a blocking issue to fix before approval: in src/api/modules/runs.ts (around line ~136), selecting the unsupported type causes mapEventTypesToSpanNames() to return null, which makes the spans query omit filter.names and fetch all spans. This breaks filter semantics (unsupported-only returns known spans; unsupported+other types returns everything; totals/counts become wrong). Please adjust so existing type filters keep working: only fetch unfiltered spans when explicitly needed, otherwise keep name filters and then filter converted events/totals down to the selected types.

[casey-brooks]

Addressed the blocking filter issue.

What changed

• mapEventTypesToSpanNames() no longer returns null for unsupported.
• Known-only type filters continue using filter.names normally.
• Requests that include unsupported fetch unfiltered spans only for that explicit unsupported case, then filter converted events down to the selected types.
• Totals now count converted events by selected type when unsupported is included, so unsupported-only and unsupported+known filters do not report all spans.
• Token totals for mixed unsupported+known selections are constrained back to the selected known span names; unsupported-only reports zero token usage.

@casey Noa re-reviewed and found a new blocking issue: in src/api/modules/runs.ts (~line 387) countTimelineEvents() calls tracingClient.listSpans() without organizationId. The main timelineEvents() path includes organizationId, but totals requests involving unsupported now hit this path with only traceId/statuses. Please thread organizationId through the totals request (timelineEventTotals / useRunTimelineEventTotals) and include it in that listSpans call.

[casey-brooks]

Addressed the organization ID issue in unsupported totals.

What changed

• useRunTimelineEventTotals() now requires and passes organizationId into runs.timelineEventTotals().
• runs.timelineEventTotals() threads organizationId into countTimelineEvents().
• countTimelineEvents() now includes organizationId in its tracingClient.listSpans() request.

@casey Update: orgId-in-totals is fixed (commit 5d6e4cf). Noa found one more blocking logic issue: in src/api/modules/runs.ts (~line 319), when is selected you omit filter.names, fetch ONE raw span page, then post-filter locally. This breaks unsupported filtering across pagination: if the first raw page has 0 unsupported but later pages do, API returns items=[] with a nextCursor, and UI shows empty-state so user can’t reach later matches. Please adjust so the pagination contract matches filtered results: keep scanning raw pages until you collect enough matching events to fill the requested limit (or exhaust cursor), then return a cursor for continuing that filtered scan.

[casey-brooks]

Addressed the unsupported-filter pagination blocker.

What changed

• Unsupported/mixed unsupported timeline requests now scan raw pages until they collect enough matching converted events for the requested limit, or exhaust history.
• The returned cursor is now based on the last matching filtered event so the next request continues the filtered scan from that point.
• Added unit coverage for the case where the first raw page has no unsupported spans and a later raw page does.

Update: Casey pushed addressing the unsupported-pagination blocker. Noa re-reviewed and reports no further code changes requested; remaining gate is CI (e2e is currently running; earlier failures looked like ghcr.io/k3d image pull timeouts).

[rowan-stein]

CI update: build is green but E2E is failing (run https://github.com/agynio/tracing-app/actions/runs/25801058428). Current failures appear to be integration/E2E flake (agent did not reply within timeout, MCP sidecars readiness timeout, trace deep link URL expectation mismatch), not directly tied to the unsupported-span rendering changes. Code review is clean; requesting maintainer guidance on rerun/handling E2E for merge.

[rowan-stein]

E2E rerun still failing: https://github.com/agynio/tracing-app/actions/runs/25801058428. Primary repeat failures are in chat trace link flow (agent did not reply within 180000ms) and URL expectation mismatch (stuck on /message/?orgId=... instead of //runs/). These appear integration-related rather than tied to unsupported-span rendering changes. Code review is clean; requesting maintainer guidance on whether to rerun again or override/handle E2E flake per policy.

[casey-brooks]

Patched the message deep-link eventual consistency issue in the same PR.

What changed

• MessageRedirectScreen now polls runs.findRunByMessageId() every 1s while no runId has been resolved.
• Polling stops once runId is present, and the existing redirect path runs unchanged.
• The unresolved state now remains Resolving message... while polling instead of permanently showing No run found for message.
• Added unit coverage for polling interval behavior.

E2E

• Rerun is in progress: https://github.com/agynio/tracing-app/actions/runs/25809267451

[rowan-stein]

E2E rerun with MessageRedirect polling fix still failed: https://github.com/agynio/tracing-app/actions/runs/25809267451.

Notable change: the new polling behavior caused to fail because it expects the text but the page now keeps showing .

Other failures persist and appear upstream/integration (chat agent did not reply within 180000ms; MCP sidecars readiness timeouts).

Next proposal inside this same PR: adjust MessageRedirectScreen to (a) poll for some bounded duration (e.g. 30–60s) and then fall back to showing while still offering a manual retry. That should satisfy the empty-state test and still mitigate the eventual-consistency race.

[casey-brooks]

Patched the bounded message redirect polling issue in the same PR.

What changed

• Message lookup polling is now bounded to 30 seconds.
• During the polling window, the deep link still shows Resolving message... and refetches every 1s.
• After timeout, the screen restores the expected empty-state text: No run found for message.
• Added a Retry button that restarts the polling window and triggers a fresh lookup.
• Updated unit coverage for polling within the window, stopping on runId, and stopping after timeout.

E2E

• Rerun started on commit 0e8e63b: https://github.com/agynio/tracing-app/actions/runs/25811465989
• CI on the same commit is green: https://github.com/agynio/tracing-app/actions/runs/25811464970

[rowan-stein]

E2E is still failing because multiple tests in the shared agynio/e2e suite are timing out / hitting upstream integration issues (agent reply timeout; MCP sidecar readiness). Separately, one failure is attributable to our recent MessageRedirect polling change: expects the empty-state text , but the current implementation keeps polling and stays on .

We are actively working on this: next patch (in this same PR) will bound the polling window (e.g. 30–60s) and then fall back to the empty-state UI (with a manual retry action). After that lands we’ll rerun E2E to confirm the deeplink-related failures are resolved; any remaining failures will be isolated as upstream flake vs tracing-app regression with logs/artifacts linked.

E2E status update

I understand the concern that E2E is still failing. Here is the current state and what has already been changed in this PR.

1. Changes already made to address failures

• Unsupported spans no longer crash timeline conversion and now render with a neutral list/details fallback.
• Unsupported timeline filters now preserve filter semantics:
  • known-only filters still use filter.names,
  • unsupported/mixed filters post-filter converted events correctly,
  • unsupported totals include organizationId,
  • unsupported pagination scans raw pages until enough matching filtered events are collected or history is exhausted.
• Message deep-link redirect now handles eventual consistency:
  • /message/<id>?orgId=... polls findRunByMessageId() every 1s while the span index catches up,
  • polling is bounded to 30s,
  • after timeout it restores the expected empty state text: No run found for message.,
  • a Retry button restarts the polling window.

2. What remains failing

From the latest E2E signal, failures are in three buckets:

• Agent reply timeout.
• MCP sidecar readiness.
• Message deeplink empty-state expectation.

The first two still look upstream/integration-environment related based on the prior analysis. The message deeplink empty-state failure is tracing-app specific and is now patched with bounded polling + fallback text.

3. Concrete next steps + ETA

• I revalidated locally after the bounded polling patch:
  • corepack pnpm --config.strict-dep-builds=false test — 5 files passed, 23 tests passed.
  • corepack pnpm --config.strict-dep-builds=false lint — passed with no errors.
  • corepack pnpm --config.strict-dep-builds=false typecheck — passed with no errors.
• I will rerun E2E on the current PR head now.
• ETA: E2E usually needs cluster provisioning + deployment time; I expect first useful signal in roughly 10-20 minutes, depending on runner/provisioning speed.
• If the message deeplink test still fails after this patch, I will inspect the E2E artifact/log for that exact assertion next. If only agent reply/MCP readiness remains, I will report it separately as likely upstream/infra.
