Summary

Addresses 10 findings from comprehensive PR review of #68 (8 outcome-driven UI flows):

Critical (4):

  • encodeURIComponent on user-supplied caseId in evidence API URLs — prevents path traversal
  • Surface contradiction fetch failures in Evidence page (was silently returning empty array)
  • Show error state on transaction fetch failure in Accounts (was showing "No recent transactions")
  • Show dispute load error in LitigationAssistant picker (was completely empty .catch(() => {}))

Important (6):

  • Remove dead actionIcon/Icon code + unused RefreshCw import
  • Guard useEffect pre-population to run once only (prevents overwriting user edits on re-render)
  • Restore console.error logging in Recommendations act/dismiss
  • Clear stale data when loading new case in Evidence (prevents showing case A data after case B fails)
  • Surface timeline.partial warning banner in Evidence page
  • Show retry button on history load failure in ActionQueue
  • Clear error state on reload in Legal page

Test plan

  • Evidence: load a case, then load a non-existent case — stale data should clear, error shown
  • Evidence: verify contradictions failure shows warning banner
  • Accounts: expand account with broken API — should show error, not "No recent transactions"
  • LitigationAssistant: open with bad ?dispute=ID — should show toast error
  • LitigationAssistant: verify picker shows "Failed to load disputes" on API error
  • Recommendations: verify no unused Icon variable (tsc --noEmit passes)
  • ActionQueue: history tab failure shows retry button
  • tsc --noEmit + vite build pass

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR introduces consistent error state tracking across multiple page components for API failures (transactions, decision history, contradictions, disputes). Additionally, the API layer now URL-encodes caseId parameters in Evidence Timeline endpoints, and unused imports are cleaned up from the Recommendations page with improved error logging.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
API Layer
ui/src/lib/api.ts
URL-encode caseId parameter in getCaseTimeline, getCaseFacts, getCaseContradictions, and getPendingFacts endpoint paths using encodeURIComponent().
Error State Management
ui/src/pages/Accounts.tsx, ui/src/pages/ActionQueue.tsx, ui/src/pages/Evidence.tsx, ui/src/pages/Legal.tsx, ui/src/pages/LitigationAssistant.tsx
Added dedicated error states to track specific API failures; updated catch blocks to extract error messages; modified UI to conditionally display error messages and retry buttons, replacing silent error suppression.
Code Cleanup & Logging
ui/src/pages/Recommendations.tsx
Removed unused lucide-react icon imports and helper function; added contextual error logging with console.error in action handlers.

Poem

🐰 When API calls go hop-by-hop,
We catch the errors, never stop!
Each state now tracks what went awry,
With messages that users spy—

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Avoid preselecting an invalid dispute ID from URL.

selectedDisputeId is set before confirming the dispute exists. That can leave an invalid ID in state and allow follow-up actions to target a nonexistent dispute.

💡 Suggested fix
-    if (disputeId && disputes.length > 0) {
+    if (disputeId && disputes.length > 0) {
       prePopulated.current = true;
-      setSelectedDisputeId(disputeId);
       const d = disputes.find(dd => dd.id === disputeId);
       if (d) {
+        setSelectedDisputeId(disputeId);
         if (d.counterparty) setRecipient(d.counterparty);
         if (d.description) setRawNotes(prev => prev || d.description || '');
       } else {
+        setSelectedDisputeId('');
         toast.error('Dispute not found', `Linked dispute ${disputeId.slice(0, 8)}... was not found`);
       }
     }
