CL-001: TASK22211 endpoint search-document contract consistency slice

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/endpoint/{getsearchdocumenthistory_api,getsearchdocumenthistorypaged_api,getsearchdocumentdetails_api,getsearchdocumentdetailspaged_api,getsearchdocumentTypes_api}.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Continue the endpoint contract-consistency stream by normalizing a coherent search-document handler cluster that still used raw error passthrough and noisy legacy logging patterns.
impact: Improved negative-path consistency and safer error contract handling in search-document endpoints while preserving success payload behavior.
status: completed

Summary:

• Branch created from SIPS-Development: TASK22211-endpoint-search-document-contract-consistency.
• Standardized five search-document handlers to respondError/respondSuccess usage.
• Added explicit required-input guards:
  • DOCUMENT_ID_REQUIRED for history/historypaged
  • INCIDENT_ID_REQUIRED for details/detailspaged/types
  • ORDER_BY_REQUIRED, FIELD_SORT_REQUIRED, SHOW_NUMBER_OF_RECORDS_REQUIRED for details-paged query requirements
• Removed noisy direct logging in paged/details code paths.
• Preserved success contract patterns (pass-through or transformed payloads where already established).
• Expanded phase21 endpoint tests with missing-input, catch-path, and success parity assertions for this cluster.

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 11/11
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 53/53
• npm run lint -> warnings only (pre-existing react-hooks/exhaustive-deps warnings; no new lint errors)

Follow-ups:

• Continue the next endpoint cluster using the same pattern (bounded slice + phase21 test expansion).
• Keep response success payloads contract-stable and avoid broad relay/auth refactors in this stream.

CL-002: TASK22211 endpoint token handler contract consistency slice

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/endpoint/getToken.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Close out remaining non-standard endpoint contract handling by normalizing the legacy token endpoint to shared API response helpers and explicit error coding.
impact: Improved endpoint error consistency and test coverage for token acquisition failures while preserving successful token payload passthrough.
status: completed

Summary:

• Refactored getToken.js to use respondSuccess and respondError from pages/api/middleware/apiResponse.
• Removed legacy raw res.status(...).json(...)/bare status assignment pattern and dead logging artifacts.
• Added explicit catch-path contract: TOKEN_FETCH_FAILED with 400 status.
• Added endpoint phase21 tests for:
  • success token payload passthrough
  • catch-path error contract assertion

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 11/11
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 147/147
• npm run lint -> warnings only (pre-existing react-hooks/exhaustive-deps warnings; no new lint errors)

Follow-ups:

• Remaining outlier API handler for this consistency stream is pages/api/file/generateappealpdfcopy.js (not yet on shared response helpers).

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/endpoint/*_api.js, pages/api/endpoint/getToken.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Backfill memory-bank traceability so the complete known TASK22211 contract-consistency stream is documented in one place now that memory-bank is being versioned.
impact: Improves governance/auditability of API contract hardening, makes rollout and rollback analysis easier, and records exactly which endpoint clusters were normalized.
status: completed

Summary:

  • 134f99c address-search endpoint contract
  • 8b6ed73 new-appeal appeal-types endpoint contract
  • eec59e8 token endpoint contract handling
• Across the stream, handlers were standardized toward respondSuccess/respondError, required-input guards, and explicit negative-path error codes while preserving success payload compatibility.
• Phase21 endpoint contract suite was expanded incrementally alongside each slice.

Validation:

• Stream validation baseline (latest known run):
  • node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass (endpoint-handler 147/147)
  • npm run lint -> warnings only (pre-existing react-hooks/exhaustive-deps; no new lint errors)

Follow-ups:

• Continue with remaining non-standard API outlier(s), notably pages/api/file/generateappealpdfcopy.js.
• Keep future slices logged in this file at commit-time now that memory-bank is versioned.

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/file/{downloadblob,generateappealpdfcopy}.js, pages/api/endpoint/{getsipsmedia_api,getappealtypesfornewappeal_api}.js, tests/phase21/{file-handler-contract,endpoint-handler-contract}.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Deliver the agreed larger bounded slice for remaining non-standard file/static handlers, improving negative-path consistency while preserving current success payload behavior.
impact: Standardized error envelopes/codes for download and generated PDF copy flows, method guard parity for static endpoints, and expanded phase21 contract coverage for both file and endpoint handlers.
status: completed

Summary:

• downloadblob.js:
  • added explicit catch-path response via respondError with DOWNLOAD_BLOB_FAILED
  • kept success behavior intact (attachment header + raw file body)
  • removed dead internal helper (streamToBuffer) and tightened local declarations
• generateappealpdfcopy.js:
  • removed unused imports/noisy console warnings
  • standardized required-input and negative-path contracts:
    • INCIDENT_ID_REQUIRED (400)
    • CASE_NOT_FOUND (404)

    • APPEAL_PDF_COPY_GENERATION_FAILED (400)
  • preserved success output contract (PDF content headers + buffer body)
• getsipsmedia_api.js and getappealtypesfornewappeal_api.js:
  • added method guard for non-GET requests using METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (405)
  • preserved existing GET success payloads
• Expanded phase21 tests:
  • file-handler-contract.test.cjs: added coverage for download failure + full generated PDF copy contract/negative paths
  • endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs: added method guard tests for both static endpoints

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 17/17
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 149/149
• npm run lint -> warnings only (pre-existing react-hooks/exhaustive-deps; no new lint errors)

Follow-ups:

• If desired, next slice can target remaining file-route parity candidates outside this bundle, but this closes the planned TASK22224 scope.

CL-005: TASK22224 downloadblob hotfix closure (path normalization + hash compatibility)

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/file/downloadblob.js
type: change
rationale: Close post-merge runtime regressions reported on live links where download URLs alternated between filename-only/full-path blob names and mixed encoded/raw hash input variants.
impact: Restored reliable blob downloads without relaxing hash security guarantees (still HMAC validated), and preserved existing caller compatibility across legacy/new URL encodings.
status: completed

Summary:

• Hotfix 1 (f09f3b7): normalized blob path resolution
  • accepts both forms of blobname input:
    • filename only (legacy)
    • full prefixed path (already includes casefolderID/...)
  • prevents double-prefix lookup failures
  • sets attachment filename from final path segment only
• Hotfix 2 (bd3bf68): hash compatibility validation
  • validates against a bounded set of canonical query-path variants (raw/encoded combinations for casefolderID and blobname)
  • fixes INVALID_HASH false negatives for legitimate caller-generated links
  • keeps strict HMAC requirement in place (no unauthenticated bypass)

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/file-handler-contract.test.cjs -> pass (17/17)
• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 17/17
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 149/149
• User confirmation: "downloadblob now works"

Follow-ups:

• Next recommended slice on this branch: complete file-route guard parity for deleteblob.js, deleteblobcase.js, and deleteblobrep.js by aligning hash validation canonicalization and explicit respondError contracts (MISSING_REQUIRED_QUERY, INVALID_HASH, operation-specific *_FAILED).
• Extend tests/phase21/file-handler-contract.test.cjs for the above routes with mixed encoded/raw hash cases to lock compatibility.

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/file/{deleteblob,deleteblobcase,deleteblobrep}.js, tests/phase21/file-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Execute the next planned slice to align hash/canonicalization behavior and negative-path contracts across high-risk file delete routes, matching the compatibility posture established for downloadblob.
impact: Reduces false INVALID_HASH failures for legitimate encoded/raw caller variants while preserving strict hash enforcement and improving resilience via explicit catch-path contracts.
status: completed

Summary:

• deleteblob.js
  • added bounded hash candidate validation for encoded/raw combinations of casefolderID and blobname

CL-007: TASK22224 getrepsblob stability hotfix after delete representation flow

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: actions/azurestorage.js (getRepsBlobs), tests/phase21/file-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Resolve reported runtime 400 (GET_REPS_BLOB_FAILED) after delete representation actions, caused by stale soft-deleted blob tag hits during representation blob enumeration.
impact: Prevents transient/stale Azure tag index entries from breaking representation retrieval, improving reliability of post-delete refresh without relaxing route security contracts.
status: completed

Summary:

  • preserves behavior for non-404 failures (rethrow for proper error visibility)
  • kept existing _rep.json/undefined name filtering intact
• Added phase21 contract coverage for getrepsblob route:
  • success payload contract test
  • dependency failure contract test (GET_REPS_BLOB_FAILED)

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/file-handler-contract.test.cjs -> pass (25/25)
• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass

date: 2026-03-23
author: Cline
scope: pages/api/file/getawaitingsubmissionfromblob.js, tests/phase21/file-handler-contract.test.cjs
type: change
rationale: Add explicit catch-path contract parity for awaiting-submission blob retrieval route so unexpected dependency failures return consistent, actionable error envelopes.
impact: Improves reliability/diagnostics for post-delete case refresh and aligns file-route error handling style without changing success payload contract or hash verification behavior.
status: completed

Summary:

• Refactored getawaitingsubmissionfromblob handler to structured try/catch flow.
• Preserved existing guard behavior:
  • MISSING_REQUIRED_QUERY for missing container/hash

CL-017: TASK22224 endpoint legacy-comment hygiene slice

date: 2026-03-24 author: Cline scope: pages/api/endpoint/{createwatchedcases_api,getadvancedsearchpaged_api}.js type: change rationale: Complete second requested slice with low-risk maintainability cleanup by removing large obsolete commented legacy handler blocks. impact: Non-behavioral cleanup only; improves readability and reduces maintenance noise with no runtime contract changes. status: completed

Summary:

• createwatchedcases_api.js
  • removed obsolete commented promise-chain implementation block
• getadvancedsearchpaged_api.js
  • removed obsolete commented legacy implementation block retained below active handler

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 53/53
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 152/152
  • documents-handler: 3/3

Follow-ups:

• Optional further hygiene pass can target remaining oversized commented historical sections in non-sensitive handlers.

CL-018: TASK22224 nextauth notify micro-refactor

date: 2026-03-24 author: Cline scope: pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].js type: change rationale: Execute the explicitly approved auth micro-slice by replacing inline promise .catch(...) with explicit try/catch while preserving existing auth behavior. impact: Auth-sensitive non-functional refactor only; keeps current sign-in flow, template/locale routing, and error-handling semantics unchanged. status: completed

Summary:

• pages/api/auth/[...nextauth].js
  • replaced:
    • await notifyClient.sendEmail(...).catch((error) => consoleLogger(error))
  • with explicit:
    • try { await notifyClient.sendEmail(...) } catch (error) { consoleLogger(error) }
• preserved behavior contracts:
  • Notify failures are still logged and do not throw through auth handler
  • no changes to callback URL construction, locale/template selection, NextAuth options, session/cookies/pages config

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 53/53
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 152/152
  • documents-handler: 3/3

Follow-ups:

• Optional future auth hygiene (separate guarded slice): replace verbose auth console.log diagnostics with structured logger usage once production logging requirements are confirmed.

CL-019: TASK22229 P2-S1 relay forwarding pilot (proxy endpoint cluster)

date: 2026-03-24 author: Cline scope: pages/api/middleware/relayForwarding.js, pages/api/endpoint/{getwatchedcasesproxy_api,getmyrepresentationsproxy_api,getrepresentationsproxy_api,getawaitingsubmissionproxy_api}.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs type: change rationale: Start Priority-2 by piloting a shared relay forwarding helper on a bounded proxy endpoint cluster to reduce duplicated token/hash/header/axios boilerplate while preserving endpoint contracts. impact: Maintainability and consistency improvement with no intended behavioral contract changes; error code/status/message and success payload contracts remain unchanged for migrated endpoints. status: completed

Summary:

• Added shared relay helper:
  • pages/api/middleware/relayForwarding.js
  • exports relayGet({ queryUrl, res, errorResponse, transformData })
  • centralizes token fetch, relay URL + hash composition, azureHeaders, GET execution, success/error response handling, and logging
• Migrated pilot endpoint cluster to relayGet:
  • getwatchedcasesproxy_api.js (with existing payload transform preserved)
  • getmyrepresentationsproxy_api.js
  • getrepresentationsproxy_api.js
  • getawaitingsubmissionproxy_api.js (with existing payload transform preserved)
• Updated endpoint contract tests to mock relayGet for migrated routes while preserving existing assertions.

Validation:

• node tests/phase21/api-contract-slice1.test.cjs -> pass
  • helper: 4/4
  • file-handler: 53/53
  • email-handler: 12/12
  • endpoint-handler: 152/152
  • documents-handler: 3/3

Follow-ups:

• P2-S2 rollout: migrate the next relay-heavy endpoint batch onto relayGet/shared forwarding utility pattern.
• P2-S3 hardening: add shared timeout/retry config and redacted structured relay error logging policy.

CL-020: TASK22229 P2-S2 Batch 1 (account/login relay GET cluster)

date: 2026-03-24 author: Cline scope: pages/api/middleware/relayForwarding.js, pages/api/endpoint/{getaccounts_api,getemailaccountcheck_api,getpreferredlanguage_api,getlogin_api,getpersonalaccount_api,getportalloginproxy_api}.js, tests/phase21/endpoint-handler-contract.test.cjs type: change rationale: Deliver first P2-S2 batch as a dedicated commit by migrating a bounded account/login endpoint cluster onto shared relayGet while preserving response contracts. impact: Reduced relay boilerplate and improved consistency with no intended endpoint contract changes. status: completed

Summary:

• Extended relayGet to support optional requestOptionsBuilder for handlers requiring paged header variants.
• Migrated Batch 1 endpoints to relayGet:
  • getaccounts_api.js
  • getemailaccountcheck_api.js
  • getpreferredlanguage_api.js
  • getlogin_api.js (uses azureHeadersPaged via requestOptionsBuilder)
  • getpersonalaccount_api.js
  • getportalloginproxy_api.js (uses azureHeadersPaged via requestOptionsBuilder)
• Updated phase21 endpoint contract tests to mock relayGet for migrated handlers, preserving existing guard/catch/success assertions.
