Closes #297
This pull request improves the reliability and safety of project creation in the CLI by introducing robust error handling for ambiguous API failures, especially around network and gateway errors. New logic ensures that transient errors during project creation and activation are handled gracefully, preventing accidental duplicate projects and providing clearer feedback to users.

Key changes include:

Error Handling & Recovery Improvements

  • Added isAmbiguousProjectCreateFailure to classify ambiguous project creation failures (e.g., network errors, 502/503/504 responses) and prevent unsafe project adoption after such errors.
  • Introduced createProjectOrReportAmbiguousResult, which throws a specific error message instructing users to check for existing projects before retrying, thus avoiding accidental duplicates. [1] [2]
  • Updated the main create command to use the new error-safe project creation flow.

Project Activation Polling

  • Refactored waitForProjectActive to continue polling through transient errors, only failing after a timeout and preserving the last actionable error for user feedback.

Testing

  • Added comprehensive tests in create.recovery.test.ts to verify ambiguous failure handling, polling through transient errors, and correct error reporting on timeouts.

Utilities & Imports

  • Updated imports to include new error-handling utilities and constants.

Summary by cubic

Makes project creation recover from ambiguous API failures and adds abort-signal support across authentication and token-refresh flows.

  • Treats gateway and transport failures during project creation as unknown results, prompting users to check for existing projects before retrying.
  • Keeps polling for project activation through transient read errors, failing only after the timeout and reporting the last actionable error.
  • Propagates abort signals through token refresh, OAuth login, and project status reads so in-flight requests cancel cleanly.
  • Adds tests for ambiguous creation failures, transient polling errors, timeout reporting, and request cancellation.

Written for commit 320bad5. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved project provisioning recovery during temporary control-plane or network failures.
    • Continued checking project activation after transient errors instead of failing immediately.
    • Added clearer timeout reporting with the latest encountered error.
    • Prevented uncertain project-creation results from being silently retried, helping avoid duplicate projects.
    • Added guidance to verify project status before retrying when the creation result is unknown.
    • Improved cancellation handling for project status checks, API requests, token refresh, and OAuth login.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for ambiguous creation results, transient activation failures, timeout behavior, and cancellation flows.

Walkthrough

Changes

The create command now reconciles ambiguous creation failures and enforces activation deadlines. Abort signals now propagate through platform requests, token refresh, OAuth login, and callback-server cleanup.

Changes

Project creation recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Activation polling recovery
src/commands/create.ts, src/commands/create.recovery.test.ts
waitForProjectActive continues through transient errors, aborts requests at the deadline, and reports the last control-plane error on timeout.
Ambiguous creation result handling
src/commands/create.ts, src/commands/create.recovery.test.ts
Gateway, network, and malformed-response failures produce recovery guidance. Ordinary API failures remain unchanged.
Request cancellation
Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform request cancellation
src/lib/api/platform.ts, src/lib/credentials.ts, src/lib/api/platform.abort.test.ts
Platform requests forward abort signals through token refresh and project or profile requests.
OAuth cancellation and cleanup
src/lib/auth.ts, src/lib/auth.abort.test.ts
OAuth waits and token requests honor abort signals. Callback-server closure clears timers and connections. Tests cover cancellation and cleanup.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Impact reflects medium issue severity.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 320ba

Project creation now safely reports ambiguous outcomes with verification guidance, and activation polling tolerates transient failures within its timeout. The current changes are ready to merge.

Poem

A rabbit watched the signals flow
Through polling paths and OAuth snow
Gateway truths now surface clear
Deadlines stop the waiting ear
Timers close and requests rest
Recovery hints guide the quest

Greptile Summary

This PR makes project creation and activation recovery safer while adding bounded cancellation throughout the platform authentication path.

  • Classifies gateway, transport, and malformed-response failures after project creation as ambiguous outcomes.
  • Provides endpoint-aware recovery guidance without interpolating an untrusted custom URL into a shell command.
  • Continues activation polling through transient control-plane failures while enforcing an exact deadline.
  • Propagates cancellation through platform requests, token refresh, browser OAuth, and profile loading.
  • Adds focused recovery and cancellation tests.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; the two previous findings were manually resolved after the current code addressed endpoint-specific recovery guidance and malformed create responses, and no new actionable failure remains.

The recovery command now explicitly preserves the target platform through an --api-url placeholder, malformed create-response decoding is classified as an unknown result, and activation polling is bounded while retaining transient-error behavior. Both previous threads were manually resolved without explanatory replies, and the current implementation addresses their reported failure modes.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
src/commands/create.ts Adds ambiguous-create classification, endpoint-aware recovery guidance, and deadline-bounded activation polling.
src/commands/create.recovery.test.ts Covers malformed and gateway creation results, custom endpoint guidance, transient polling failures, and in-flight cancellation.
src/lib/api/platform.ts Propagates request cancellation through project/profile reads and both authenticated token-refresh paths.
src/lib/api/platform.abort.test.ts Verifies that cancellation reaches token refresh after an unauthorized platform response.
src/lib/auth.ts Adds cancellation-aware OAuth operations and idempotent callback-server cleanup.
src/lib/auth.abort.test.ts Verifies callback timeout cleanup and cancellation during authenticated profile loading.
src/lib/credentials.ts Propagates cancellation through token refresh and interactive reauthentication.

In `@src/commands/create.ts`:
- Around line 58-62: Update the polling loop around getProject and the sleep at
line 70 to enforce timeoutMs after every request: calculate remaining time, stop
immediately when the deadline is reached, and sleep for no longer than that
remaining budget. Make the in-flight getProject request deadline-bound or
cancellable so it cannot extend the command past the deadline, while preserving
the active-project and transient-error behavior. Add a fake-clock test assertion
verifying elapsed timeout, not just request count.
