Walkthrough

The desktop client now recognizes two additional legacy hosts and validates JSON responses during device authentication. Authentication errors use structured server messages, and decoding failures use APIError.decoding.

Changes

Desktop client compatibility and authentication

Layer / File(s) Summary
Legacy host resolution
apps/supercode-desktop/SupercodeDesktop/Services/ServerConfig.swift, apps/supercode-desktop/SupercodeDesktopTests/ParityTests.swift
legacyHosts now includes https://supercli.com and https://www.supercli.com. Tests cover default-host normalization and custom-host resolution.
Authentication response validation
apps/supercode-desktop/SupercodeDesktop/Services/SupercodeAPIClient.swift, apps/supercode-desktop/SupercodeDesktopTests/ParityTests.swift
Device-code requests use the current endpoint, require JSON responses, extract structured server errors, and map decoding failures to APIError.decoding. Tests cover JSON validation and authorization_pending.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ec2a6

Some authentication failures appear to remain pending until the device code expires. This should be corrected before merge.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 4/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with a non-blocking compatibility issue for custom servers that return structured-suffix JSON media types.

Findings

  1. P2 Valid JSON Types Rejected

Summary

This PR improves desktop authentication error reporting and migrates stored web-only server hosts to the appropriate API default.

  • Adds explicit handling for non-JSON authentication responses.
  • Extracts useful messages from JSON server errors and normalizes decoding failures.
  • Removes the obsolete device-authorization endpoint fallback.
  • Adds migration and response-validation tests.
  • One compatibility gap remains for valid application/*+json responses.

P2 Valid JSON Types Rejected

If a configured server returns valid JSON with a media type such as application/problem+json, this check rejects it because it accepts only application/json. For token polling, validation happens before the 400/403 pending-state handling, so an authorization_pending response using that media type becomes an error and can stop an otherwise valid device sign-in. Please accept JSON media types whose subtype is json or ends in +json, and add coverage for that response form.

Findings

  • medium Non-JSON detection may be brittleapps/supercode-desktop/SupercodeDesktop/Services/SupercodeAPIClient.swift

    • requireJSON only checks the Content-Type header includes "application/json". Servers sometimes return JSON with missing/incorrect Content-Type, or HTML with application/json (rare but possible). This can lead to false negatives/positives.
    • Suggested fix: consider attempting a lightweight JSON parse when Content-Type is not clearly JSON, and/or treat +json (e.g. application/problem+json, application/json; charset=utf-8 is already handled, but application/problem+json should also match).
    nonisolated static func requireJSON(_ response: HTTPURLResponse) throws {
        let contentType = response.value(forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")?.lowercased()
        let isJSON = contentType?.contains("application/json") == true || contentType?.contains("+json") == true
        guard isJSON else {
            throw APIError.unexpectedResponse(statusCode: response.statusCode, contentType: contentType)
        }
    }

    (If you want to keep it strict, at least extend matching for +json.)

  • low Potential change in fallback behavior for device code endpointapps/supercode-desktop/SupercodeDesktop/Services/SupercodeAPIClient.swift

    • Previously requestDeviceCode() tried multiple candidates (/api/auth/device/code and /api/auth/device/authorize) and fell back on errors. Now it hardcodes only /api/auth/device/code.
    • If the old fallback was intentionally removed, this is fine; otherwise it could regress environments where /api/auth/device/code isn’t available.
    • Suggested fix: confirm with a comment or reintroduce fallback, but still apply requireJSON + better error handling to each attempt.
  • nit Error message content-type placeholderapps/supercode-desktop/SupercodeDesktop/Services/SupercodeAPIClient.swift

    • unexpectedResponse uses "unknown content type" when Content-Type is missing. That’s good, but you might include the raw header value when present (right now it does) — just noting it’s already handled well.

Risk assessment

Medium — Auth flow behavior changed (notably removal of the previous endpoint fallback in requestDeviceCode()), and JSON validation is now stricter based on Content-Type. Most risk is confined to sign-in/device auth, but auth failures are high-impact.

Test plan

  • Run bun test (or the repo’s equivalent test command) to ensure the updated ParityTests pass
  • Run bun run typecheck to confirm the new static helpers compile cleanly
  • Manually test device auth sign-in against:
    • a known-good endpoint returning JSON
    • a misconfigured endpoint returning HTML (to verify the new unexpectedResponse message is shown)

Suggested PR description

What

  • Enhance API error handling by detecting non-JSON server responses and surfacing clearer, user-facing errors for authentication requests.
  • Add server message extraction from JSON error fields to improve diagnostics.
  • Update legacy host resolution to include supercli.com and www.supercli.com.

Why

  • Authentication failures were sometimes surfaced as confusing decode errors when the server returned unexpected content (e.g., HTML).
  • Better error messages and explicit non-JSON detection improve troubleshooting and sign-in reliability.

How tested

  • Added/updated tests in ParityTests:
    • JSON vs HTML Content-Type validation via SupercodeAPIClient.requireJSON
    • Server error message extraction via SupercodeAPIClient.serverMessage
  • Verified URL parity mapping for supercli.com and www.supercli.com in ServerConfig.resolvedURL.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat every 400 or 403 response as pending.

If the response contains an unknown error such as invalid_client, this branch returns nil. The login loop continues until the device code expires and hides the actual server error.

Return nil only for authorization_pending and slow_down. Throw serverMessage(from:statusCode:) for all other 400 and 403 responses.

Proposed fix
         if http.statusCode == 400 || http.statusCode == 403 {
             if let obj = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [String: Any] {
                 let err = (obj["error"] as? String) ?? ""
                 if err == "authorization_pending" || err == "slow_down" {
                     return nil
                 }
                 if err == "access_denied" || err == "expired_token" {
                     throw APIError.server(err)
                 }
             }
