#3009

fix(api): log client disconnects during JSON responses at debug

Opencestercianwants to merge intofrom

Description

RespondJSON logged every Encode failure as Failed to encode JSON response at error level. The encoder writes straight to the socket, so a client that drops mid-response (closed tab, proxy timeout, canceled fetch) looked like a serialization fault.

Now a write failure caused by the peer going away logs Client disconnected before the JSON response was written at debug. Everything else keeps the error line. Status and body are unchanged.

  • Moved the SSE manager's isClientDisconnect logic into httphelpers.IsClientDisconnect so there is one definition. The SSE one now just calls it. I added errors.Is checks for syscall.EPIPE / syscall.ECONNRESET on top of the existing net.ErrClosed, context and message checks (the message matches still cover the Windows aborted / forcibly closed forms).
  • RespondJSON skips the debug path for json.MarshalerError, UnsupportedTypeError and UnsupportedValueError, so a real serialization failure stays at error even if its message happens to look like a disconnect.

Fixes #2713

Behaviour change

None for users apart from less error-level log noise on client disconnects.

How has this been tested?

CI-level only. New tests cover wrapped EPIPE and ECONNRESET, both Windows forms, channel / NaN / failing MarshalJSON still at error, an unrelated writer error still at error, and the 204 / 304 / nil-data paths logging nothing. go test -race passes for pkg/httphelpers and internal/api/sse. In internal/api/handlers the only failure is TestSeasonPackApply_Returns500ForFailedApplyResponse, which fails the same way on develop without this change.

Performance

No measurable cost. The only new work is on the error path of Encode (a few errors.Is / errors.As calls and a lowercase of the error string), which already ends in a log line. The success path is untouched, so no before/after measurement.

AI disclosure

Yes. The change was written with an AI coding agent working under my direction; I reviewed the diff and ran the tests locally.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds httphelpers.IsClientDisconnect and updates the SSE manager to use it. RespondJSON now logs recognized client disconnects at debug level when the error is not a JSON serialization failure. Serialization failures and unrelated write errors remain error-level logs. Tests cover disconnect errors, serialization failures, unrelated writer errors, and response paths that produce no logs.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Severity of issue fixed: Low

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e2538

The change appears ready to merge after normal checks: recognized client disconnects receive debug-level logging, while the inspected serialization and unrelated-write failures retain error-level logging.

Good catch, dropped the blanket wsasend: match. The two Windows disconnect messages are still caught by their own text, and I added a case so wsasend: An invalid argument was supplied stays an error.
