Summary

Rebuilds the CLI error layer on @frontal-labs/error@0.7.0 (pinned exactly).

• CliError extends the library's FrontalError (scope: "cli"). docs is a getter over link. Codes, exit codes and docs anchors are unchanged.
• classifyError checks isFrontalError first (by code, then status). The name-based branches stay as fallbacks for older SDKs.
• Human output is one frame(). It is plain under --no-color, NO_COLOR, or a non-TTY stderr. The library's auto preset only applies to a TTY stderr (its own check reads stdout).
• frontal dev error bodies come from errorResponse(). curl gets ANSI text; SDK clients get the { "error": … } JSON envelope. Scenario routes and remote proxy responses are unchanged.

Unchanged (public contract)

• --json error output is byte-identical. tests/errors/contract.test.ts pins raw stderr for every error kind (15 snapshots).
• Exit codes are unchanged.

Deliberate deviations and notes

• Own fix ordering: the error's own fix comes after the generic 5xx and rate-limit hints. Core's ServiceError carries its own fix; putting it first would change --json output.
• Dev error body: requestId is only in the X-Request-Id header now, service is dropped from proxy errors, and fields is kept in the JSON envelope only (the library drops unknown public fields).
• Node: the library's registry metadata says node >=22, not >=24. The bundle runs on Node 20 and 22 (and 24). It does not load on Node 18 because of the existing ora@9.4.1 pin (requires Node ≥ 20), which predates this change.
• Release note: CHANGELOG.md is not edited by hand. The changeset (minor) produces the entry at release.
• Renovate: the repo uses Dependabot, so the library gets its own group there.

Test plan

• bun install --frozen-lockfile
• bun run type-check
• bunx biome check src/ tests/
• bun run test:coverage (367 passed, 5 skipped)
• bun run build, bun run build:binary, bun run size (76.79 kB gzipped, limit 78 kB)
• Bundle --version / --help on Node 20
• Integration job steps replayed with the compiled binary (init, types, dev health and agent, deploy dry-run, deploy --json), on port 8788
• bun scripts/run-readme-blocks.ts (8 runnable blocks)

Decisions

• Node 20 minimum (was >=18): the bundle never loaded on Node 18. ora, @clack/prompts, chalk and commander need Node 20 or newer, so engines.node is now >=20. That is the lowest version CI tests (Node 20 and 22). Docs and the docs-deploy job follow. Commander 15 declares >=22.12; Node 20 runs the bundle fine, but npm will warn on Node 20 installs.
• CHANGELOG.md: not hand-edited. Changesets writes it at release. A manual entry would be duplicated. The changeset (minor) carries the release note, including the Node 20 requirement.

Synthetic monitor flake (fixed)

tests/synthetic-monitor.test.ts failed intermittently in CI and locally. A journey hit its 60 s limit (config-list), and whole runs hit the 120 s test limit. Each journey starts a cold bun process, which takes several seconds, and on a loaded machine far longer. The budgets were too tight; the CLI was not hanging.

• Journey budget 60 s → 120 s; monitor run budget 120 s → 300 s.
• Journeys run with stdin from /dev/null, and the test closes the child's stdin.
• Failure output now lists every non-passing journey with its exit code and stderr.

Verified: 3/3 local runs pass (under heavy machine load, 270–300 s each); CI passes on the latest commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • CLI errors now provide clearer guidance with readable labels, terminal-aware color, and redaction of sensitive information.
  • Local development errors use a consistent JSON envelope, with readable plain-text responses for supported requests.
• Bug Fixes
  • README development checks now wait for the service to become healthy and use an available port.
  • OpenAPI fetch failures retain their underlying cause for clearer diagnostics.
• Documentation
  • Added guidance on error types, output formats, redaction, and exit codes.
  • Updated the minimum supported Node.js version to 20.

Walkthrough

The pull request integrates Frontal error types and formatting into CLI and dev-server error handling. It changes README-block execution to use an available port and updates runtime requirements, repository tooling, and journey-test diagnostics.

Changes: Error handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CLI error classification and output src/errors/cli-error.ts, src/errors/handler.ts, tests/errors/*, .changeset/frontal-error-library.md, .github/dependabot.yml, docs/DEVELOPERS.md	CliError now extends FrontalError. The handler classifies errors and formats human-readable and JSON output, with redaction and stderr-based color selection. Tests cover output and exit codes. The changeset, dependency grouping, and developer documentation describe the error contract.
Dev-server error responses src/lib/dev/handlers.ts, src/lib/dev/proxy.ts, src/lib/dev/server.ts, tests/dev.test.ts	Dev-server routes pass request context to apiError. Responses use errorResponse, include the request ID header, and include field errors in qualifying JSON bodies. Tests cover JSON and readable error bodies.

README block execution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
README-block runner and invocation scripts/run-readme-blocks.ts, package.json, .vscode/tasks.json, README.md	The runner selects an available loopback port. The task and README instructions call it directly, and the README example polls /health instead of waiting a fixed time.

Repository tooling and runtime updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tooling and runtime requirements .size-limit.json, biome.jsonc, package.json, .github/dependabot.yml, .github/workflows/ci.yml, .gitignore, scripts/generate-openapi-operations.mjs, scripts/validate-command-bindings.mjs, docs/*, CONTRIBUTING.md, skills/README.md, tsup.config.ts, vitest.config.ts, tests/setup/node20-reporter.ts	The bundle size limit is reduced. Configuration and script changes update dependency grouping, linting, ignored paths, fetch-error causes, and path handling. The minimum Node.js version changes to 20 in package metadata, CI, build configuration, and documentation. Vitest setup adds a Map.groupBy fallback.
Synthetic journey execution diagnostics .github/scripts/e2e-journey.sh, tests/synthetic-monitor.test.ts	Journey processes receive no inherited stdin. Timeout settings increase, and failed journey details include status, exit code, and truncated stderr.

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

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(errors): build the error layer on @frontal-labs/error" matches the main change. The PR rebuilds the CLI error layer on the pinned @frontal-labs/error@0.7.0, with CliError extending FrontalError, and the changeset and source diffs confirm this. The title is specific, short, and in conventional-commit form. It does not mention the Node 20 minimum or the synthetic-monitor changes, which is expected for a title.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template's main structure. It gives a clear summary, a Changes-style breakdown, a test plan with checked commands, and a Decisions section that covers the Node 20 breaking-style change. It also covers the Breaking Changes concern through the Node 20 minimum and the dev error-body deviations. Several template sections are absent: the Type of Change checkboxes are not marked, the Related Issues section has no issue reference (the objectives cite PR #77 but no linked issue), the Documentation and Checklist checkboxes are not used, Security Considerations, Performance Impact, Screenshots, and Reviewers are missing. The description also uses a custom Test plan section rather than the template's Testing and Test Commands sections.

Resolution

Optional improvements: tick the Type of Change box (Refactoring or New feature, plus Breaking change for the Node 20 minimum), add a Related Issues entry if one exists, mark the Security and Performance Impact sections, and state explicitly that no breaking change to the public CLI contract applies except the Node version floor.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 43.48% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 23 functions across 18 files. (6 skipped: 6 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

src/lib/dev/handlers.ts: 1

119-120: Trivial · Stability & Availability · Low value

Guard JSON.parse in withFields against an unexpected body shape.

withFields only checks that body starts with {. It then assumes the parsed value has an error object. If the library changes its JSON envelope, parsed.error is undefined. The spread then yields an envelope with only fields. This silently drops the code and message.

Parse defensively and return the original body if error is not an object. The @frontal-labs/error version is pinned, so the risk is low. A guard still protects against a future dependency bump.

Proposed fix

-  const parsed = JSON.parse(body) as { error: Record<string, unknown> };
-  return JSON.stringify({ error: { ...parsed.error, fields } });
+  const parsed = JSON.parse(body) as { error?: Record<string, unknown> };
+  if (typeof parsed.error !== "object" || parsed.error === null) {
+    return body;
+  }
+  return JSON.stringify({ error: { ...parsed.error, fields } });
