Sloth-ninja tackles the login spinner dead end

JessicaOSS now handles a failed profile load as an error users can see, rather than an endless wait.

securityworkflow

A production login incident exposed a familiar legal-tech frustration: someone signs in, the screen keeps spinning, and there is no useful explanation or clear next step.

Sloth-ninja has tightened the app's handling of background failures during sign-in and profile loading. When that early account information cannot be retrieved, the product is designed to surface a proper error state instead of silently leaving the user stranded. The work also hardens related background actions against unhandled failures.

It is a small change with a practical point: access problems should be visible and diagnosable, not mistaken for a slow system.

So what Teams evaluating JessicaOSS for real users should care because reliable sign-in failure handling is basic operational trust.

`23ed39e3`	Harden async handlers + profile-load error state (login spinner incident)	sloth-ninja	2026-07-21	↗ GitHub
commit body Production Supabase lost the service_role grant on user_api_keys; the unwrapped GET /user/profile handler threw, and after the #22 unhandledRejection guard the request simply never responded - the frontend gate spun on loading forever (infinite login spinner). This is the code-level defence. Backend: audited every async route handler; wrapped 56 unwrapped/partial ones via a new self-contained lib/asyncHandler.ts (fixed generic 500 detail + console.error via safeErrorLog; mirrors workflows.ts asyncRoute). Handlers with whole-body try/catch left untouched. Added user.test.ts covering the GET /user/profile reject path. Frontend: 15s AbortController timeout on the profile load + an honest error+retry state in MfaLoginGate, replacing the silent misleading fallback profile.
