This PR adds a number of small improvements to the log fetching to add more stability and prevent silent errors from being dropped.

  1. Stricter response validation in loki-client
  2. Prevent polling while a request is currently pending. This prevent abort signals from being created and ensures that we don't end up in a loop where each poll takes longer than the interval time making a request never finish
  3. Swap signal abortion to an auto-incrementing request numbers. Although this could cause a slight increase on the backend as multiple requests could be in flight at the same time, it will prevent the "context cancelled" noted in the logs in the ticket from being caused by frontend means

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of Loki error responses, malformed results, and failed requests.
    • Prevented outdated responses from overwriting newer log results.
    • Reduced duplicate and rapid-repeat log requests.
    • Prevented automatic refreshes while logs or additional entries are loading.
    • Improved handling of empty log queries.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for Loki response validation, stale requests, pending pagination, and HTTP 200 error payloads.
  • Accessibility for Testing

    • Added a stable identifier for the “more logs available” control.

Walkthrough

The change validates Loki responses, suppresses stale and duplicate log requests, prevents refreshes during active requests, and adds Cypress coverage for these behaviors.

Changes

Logs request reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Loki response validation
web/src/logs.types.ts, web/src/loki-client.ts, web/src/__tests__/loki-client.spec.ts
Adds Loki error typing and validates query-range response shapes before returning results.
Request coordination and stale-response handling
web/src/hooks/useLogs.ts
Tracks request context, suppresses rapid and duplicate requests, and applies responses only for the latest request.
Refresh suppression during log loading
web/src/components/refresh-interval-dropdown.tsx, web/src/pages/logs-page.tsx, web/src/pages/logs-detail-page.tsx, web/src/pages/logs-dev-page.tsx
Disables refresh callbacks while initial or load-more log requests are active.
Behavior coverage and test selectors
web/cypress/e2e/integration/logs-page.cy.ts, web/src/components/virtualized-logs-table.tsx, web/src/test-ids.ts, web/eslint.config.ts
Adds coverage for Loki errors, stale requests, and refresh suppression. Adds the load-more test identifier and ESLint configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e5236

This change improves log-request validation and refresh coordination. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the supplied context.

It seems we are mixing type assertion with the response status. We could use a more idiomatic way and turn this the type check into a typeguard and check the response status inside the caller (getFetchConfig)

I was not exactly sure what you meant, especially with regards to the getFetchConfig but I understand what you mean about the mixing type assertions with data assertions. I've split this up into a chain of validations, with the type assertions being separate from the data assertions

Sorry I meant this https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/narrowing.html#using-type-predicates to narrow down the type of the response data after verifying the response is successful

Ah gotcha, yeah that is pretty similar to what I had done, but the type predicates only need 1 function call while the assert needs 2. I'll fix it on tuesday, but thanks for the response so late. Now go and enjoy your time off

By removing the abort logic, rapid clicking could generate multiple request. It seems now we are only filtering the responses but the request are still running and consuming frontend and backend resources.

I've expanded the throttle logic you had added in the getLogs to the getMoreLogs as well. I've also added a longer throttle when the query is identical, preventing the user from spamming the sync or run query button

should we add this guard inside runQuery so we don't have to duplicate them in all pages?

We can't move this up into runQuery or getLogs since the user needs to be able to make requests that have different parameters even while a query is currently pending. I have updated this to be a bit more clear on the ownership, adding an enableRefresh parameter to the RefreshIntervalDropdown which actually prevents the running inside the component which I think is where it should belong
