Stop reporting a cancelled request as a failed load - #37
Conversation
…owser job `loadRemote()` decided whether an error was a cancellation by checking its own controller. An `AbortError` from anywhere else fell through to the failure path — it emptied `data`, rendered the error row and emitted `error` — even though a cancellation says nothing about the data: the request simply never happened. That is reachable from the public API today: `ajax.request` is caller- supplied, and one that cancels on its own terms wipes the list the user is looking at. The added test drives exactly that and fails on the previous build with `expected "vi.fn()" to not be called at all, but actually been called 1 times`. The same check also covers the shared-request case: callers asking for the same page share one request, which runs on whichever caller's signal started it, so the starter's abort surfaces to everyone sharing it. That sharing is now documented at `fetchRemoteResult()` rather than reworked into per-consumer cancellation — a later caller genuinely cannot cancel a request an earlier one still wants, and the harm was the misreading, not the sharing. Separately, CI runs the three browser engines and the benchmark in their own job rather than appending them to the lint/typecheck/coverage job. Both jobs must pass, so nothing is skipped; the wall clock becomes the longer of the two instead of their sum, at the cost of one repeated `npm ci` and build, which is cheap next to installing three browsers. 203 tests. Bundle 14,363 gzipped against the 14,500 budget. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Uwf2dANjPuEZB2RXEjCtFU

Drops the step that read the installed Playwright version out of node_modules and wrote it into $GITHUB_OUTPUT. The lockfile pins the version `npm ci` just installed, so hashing it identifies the browsers as precisely with one step fewer and nothing computed into a workflow output. The trade is that any dependency change now misses the browser cache, not only a Playwright change. That is the same tradeoff the npm cache already makes, and a miss costs one browser install. Also the narrowest candidate I can act on for the SonarCloud gate, which went to a C security rating on this PR's new code. sonarcloud.io is blocked by this environment's egress proxy, so I cannot read which rule fired; this removes the one construct in the new job a security scanner is likely to object to.

The SonarCloud gate went to a C security rating on this PR's new code and stayed there after removing the one construct in the new job I could plausibly act on blind — so that construct was not it, and I still cannot read which rule fired: sonarcloud.io is blocked by this environment's egress proxy, Sonar left no inline annotation, and the check run carries only the summary line. Rather than keep guessing at a workflow change against an oracle I can only poll, this reverts `ci.yml` to what is on main and keeps the part of the PR that stands on its own: the cancelled-request fix and its test. If the gate comes back green, that also localizes the finding to the workflow, which is worth knowing before proposing the split again.

Blocker, and what I can and cannot see. The SonarCloud gate fails this PR on So I narrowed it by bisecting with CI as the oracle rather than guessing twice:
If the gate goes green on 2, the finding is somewhere in the workflow job I added — which is worth knowing, because every line of it already exists in the The cancelled-request fix and its regression test stand on their own and are what this PR now carries. The job split is worth doing, but not worth landing blind against an oracle I can only poll — I'll propose it again once someone can paste me the rule, file and line from the Sonar dashboard.

…ncellations Both found in review, and both are consequences of keeping the loaded list on a cancellation rather than emptying it. `scheduleRemoteLoad()` primes `page` at 0 and `hasMore` at true before the request goes out. Returning early on a cancelled fresh load left that state in place while the list kept its options — so it was still scrollable, and scrolling to the bottom fetched page 1 of a page 0 that never arrived and appended it to the previous query's options. A cancelled fresh load now clears `hasMore`; pagination resumes on the next load that completes. `requestRemote()` decided whether to retry by checking `signal.aborted` alone, so a request that cancelled on its own terms was called again after the backoff — the one thing a caller that has just cancelled does not want. A cancellation is now terminal however it arrived. A test each, both verified by fault injection: removing the pagination guard gives `expected 3 to be 2` (the phantom page-1 request) and removing the retry guard gives `called 1 times, but got 3 times`. 205 tests.

What & why
A cancelled remote request was reported as a failed load.
loadRemote()decided whether an error was a cancellation by checking its ownAbortController. AnAbortErrorarriving from anywhere else fell through to the failure path — emptieddata, rendered the error row, emittederror— even though a cancellation says nothing about the data: the request never happened.That is reachable from the public API today, which is what makes it a bug rather than a hypothetical:
ajax.requestis caller-supplied, and one that cancels on its own terms wipes the list the user is looking at. The added test drives exactly that and fails on the previous build withexpected "vi.fn()" to not be called at all, but actually been called 1 times.The same check also covers the case that started this — callers asking for the same page share one in-flight request, which runs on whichever caller's signal created it, so the starter's abort surfaces to everyone sharing it. I did not rework that into per-consumer cancellation: a later caller genuinely cannot cancel a request an earlier one still wants, so the sharing is right and the harm was the misreading. The semantics are now written down at
fetchRemoteResult()instead.What came out of this PR and is no longer in it
The CI job split. Moving the three browser engines and the benchmark into their own job made the SonarCloud gate fail with
C Security Rating on New Code— a Major vulnerability in the added lines. I could not read which rule fired:sonarcloud.iois blocked by this environment's egress proxy, Sonar left no inline annotation, and the check run carries only the summary line.Rather than guess repeatedly, I bisected with CI as the oracle:
59308bb2a5a8b8$GITHUB_OUTPUTstep, keyed the cache off the lockfile281b317ci.ymlreverted to main, code changes keptSo the finding is in the workflow job, and worth stating precisely: every line of that job already exists in the
testjob on main. It is not new code there, so the gate never measures it. That points at a latent finding on main which only surfaces when the same lines are added — not something the split introduces. Chasing it needs the rule, file and line from the Sonar dashboard, which someone with access can read in a second and I cannot read at all.Measured and not done: variable-height virtual scroll
I proposed optimizing this and then measured it, which is the point of measuring first.
renderRows()drops the entire offsets array whenever a measured height differs, so the next render rebuilds N+1 offsets and allocates a string key per row — the shape looked bad. It isn't:variableItemHeight: true26.9 ms vsfalse25.3 ms. The whole offsets machinery costs ~0.16 ms per render.scrollMeanFrameMsof 16.6 — a full 60 fps.Nothing here is worth bundle bytes or risk. Recorded so the next person does not re-derive the same wrong hypothesis.
