fix(extensions): handle marketplace outages safely - #884
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe marketplace fetch path now formats non-OK responses through shared utilities. The formatter hides upstream HTML and non-JSON content, extracts JSON error details, normalizes and truncates messages, and handles server failures. Tests cover these behaviors.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Marketplace 4xx responses with an empty error field can hide a useful server-provided message and show only a generic status summary. This is a bounded usability regression that should be corrected before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

non-empty string between error and message, so blank error fields fall back to
message. Add a formatter test covering a 4xx payload with an empty error and a

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Use message when error is blank.
For a 4xx payload such as { "error": "", "message": "Invalid query" }, Line 26 selects the blank error. The later check suppresses the valid message, so marketplaceFetch shows only the generic status summary. Select the first non-empty string and add this case to the formatter tests.
Proposed fix
- const value = typeof error === "string" ? error : message;
+ const value = typeof error === "string" && error.trim() ? error : message;📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Description
Sanitize marketplace HTTP error responses and display a friendly message when upstream services fail. When the marketplace server is down or returning server errors such as Cloudflare 525, the application now shows a concise message and keeps the Retry button visible instead of rendering raw HTML into the panel.
Motivation
When the extension marketplace encounters an outage or returns an upstream HTML error page (for example Cloudflare error 525 SSL handshake failed), the previous implementation dumped the raw HTML string into the user interface. This broke the panel layout and pushed the Retry button off-screen. By formatting HTTP error responses cleanly:
