From 05dce537f7cd3af25d72e1aad2c03aa84b0571a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick DiMoro Date: Mon, 26 Jan 2026 02:51:21 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix(infra): Add safeFetch wrapper to prevent unhandled fetch() crashes CRITICAL FIX: Gateway was crashing every 30-50 minutes due to unhandled fetch() promise rejections causing process termination. Problem: - Network fetch() failures (DNS, timeout, connection refused) caused unhandled promise rejections - Unhandled rejection handler in src/infra/unhandled-rejections.ts calls process.exit(1) to prevent silent failures - Gateway crashed 3 times today (08:12:53, 08:41:31, 09:31:55) - All agents stopped responding on each crash - Required manual restart Root Cause: - 88+ fetch() calls in codebase without proper error handling - TypeError: fetch failed at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:15422:13 - No try/catch or .catch() handlers on many network requests Solution: - Created safeFetch() wrapper that NEVER throws - Always resolves to result object (ok: true | false) - Classifies errors by type (network/abort/timeout/unknown) - Logs errors with context but keeps gateway running - Provides convenience helpers: safeFetchText, safeFetchJson Implementation: - New file: src/infra/safe-fetch.ts (core wrapper) - New file: src/infra/safe-fetch.test.ts (comprehensive tests) - New file: docs/infra/safe-fetch.md (usage guide & migration) - Modified: src/infra/update-check.ts (example migration) Testing: - Full test suite covers success, failures, timeouts, aborts - Migration verified with update-check.ts as proof of concept Next Steps: - Gradually migrate high-risk fetch() calls to safeFetch() - Priority areas: agents/tools/web-*.ts, providers/*.ts - Consider making safeFetch the default for new code This fix prevents immediate crashes but doesn't migrate all calls yet. Gateway stability should improve significantly with this foundation. --- docs/infra/safe-fetch.md | 197 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/infra/safe-fetch.test.ts | 244 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/infra/safe-fetch.ts | 155 ++++++++++++++++++++++ src/infra/update-check.ts | 35 +++-- 4 files changed, 621 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/infra/safe-fetch.md create mode 100644 src/infra/safe-fetch.test.ts create mode 100644 src/infra/safe-fetch.ts diff --git a/docs/infra/safe-fetch.md b/docs/infra/safe-fetch.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..fce2f376d --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/infra/safe-fetch.md @@ -0,0 +1,197 @@ +# Safe Fetch Utility + +## Overview + +The `safeFetch` utility provides a crash-resistant wrapper around native `fetch()` calls to prevent unhandled promise rejections from terminating the gateway process. + +## Problem + +Network-related `fetch()` failures can cause unhandled promise rejections that crash the entire gateway: + +``` +TypeError: fetch failed + at node:internal/deps/undici/undici:15422:13 +``` + +When these errors aren't caught, they trigger the unhandled rejection handler in `src/infra/unhandled-rejections.ts`, which calls `process.exit(1)` to prevent silent failures. + +## Solution + +`safeFetch()` is a drop-in replacement for `fetch()` that **never throws** - it always resolves to a result object that you can check for success or failure. + +## Usage + +### Basic Pattern + +```typescript +import { safeFetch } from "../infra/safe-fetch.js";
