  • Create src/browser/shared/fallback-ui.ts with renderErrorFallback() and renderLoadingFallback()
  • Create src/browser/shared/error-boundary.ts with renderWithFallback() pattern
  • Export new modules from src/browser/shared/index.ts
  • Add 30 tests in tests/error-boundary.test.ts covering all paths
  • Fix docstring — remove unsupported "cyberpunk theme" / "WCAG 2.1 AA" claims
  • Add optional loadingLabel param to renderLoadingFallback for localized ARIA text
  • Add optional retryLabel param to renderErrorFallback for localized button text
  • Add inFlight guard to renderWithFallback to prevent concurrent retry race conditions
  • Wire renderErrorFallback into party-dashboard.ts and risk-dashboard.ts catch blocks
  • Add CSS for .fallback-error-card, .fallback-loading-skeleton, .skeleton-bar, .fallback-retry-btn (focus styles, reduced-motion, dark-mode)
  • renderWithFallback loading state is an appended child overlay so pre-existing DOM (canvas elements) stays intact throughout the render; overlay removed in finally on both success and failure
  • party-dashboard.ts and risk-dashboard.ts: error card rendered into child errContainer; retry removes it before re-calling init()
  • risk-dashboard.ts: corrected from non-existent #earlyWarningAlerts to #risk-dashboard
  • party-dashboard.ts: retryMessage added to LocaleTranslations interface and all 14 locale objects
  • RenderWithFallbackOptions interface (loadingLabel?, retryLabel?) forwarded to underlying fallback renderers
  • void init() replaced with init().catch(err => logger.error(...)) in retry callbacks of both dashboards
  • isFirstAttempt flag: skip container.innerHTML = originalHTML on the first call so caller-held child element references remain valid; only restore on retry (where canvas elements must be re-inserted after error card)
  • Replace await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 0)) with await Promise.resolve() in all three test cases for deterministic microtask flushing
  • All 30 tests pass

<issue_title>Add centralized error boundary pattern for dashboard components</issue_title>
<issue_description>## 📋 Issue Type
Architecture / Code Quality

🎯 Objective

Implement a shared error boundary and centralized error handling pattern for browser-side dashboard modules to prevent individual component failures from breaking the entire page.

📊 Current State

  • Each dashboard module (party, coalition, risk, etc.) handles errors independently
  • If one chart fails to render (e.g., due to missing data), it may crash the entire dashboard
  • Error handling patterns are inconsistent across 12+ dashboard files in src/browser/dashboards/
  • Logger module exists (src/browser/shared/logger.ts) but error recovery patterns are ad-hoc
  • Data loader has retry logic but no fallback UI rendering

🚀 Desired State

  • Centralized error boundary pattern that catches rendering failures per-component
  • Fallback UI displayed when a chart fails (e.g., "Data unavailable" card with retry button)
  • Error tracking integrated with logger module
  • Graceful degradation: if one dashboard section fails, others continue working
  • User-visible error state distinct from loading state

🔧 Implementation Approach

  1. Create src/browser/shared/error-boundary.ts with:
    • renderWithFallback(container, renderFn, fallbackMessage) pattern
    • Error logging to logger.error()
    • Retry mechanism for transient failures
  2. Create src/browser/shared/fallback-ui.ts with:
    • renderErrorFallback(container, message, retryFn?) for error states
    • renderLoadingFallback(container) for loading states
    • CSS-only skeleton loading animations
  3. Update dashboard init modules to use error boundary:
    renderWithFallback(
      partyChartContainer,
      () => renderPartyChart(data),
      'Party data temporarily unavailable'
    );
  4. Add tests for error boundary behavior
  5. CSS styling for error/loading states matching cyberpunk theme

🤖 Recommended Agent

code-quality-engineer — Error handling architecture

✅ Acceptance Criteria

  • Error boundary catches and handles rendering failures
  • Fallback UI displayed for failed components
  • Other components continue working when one fails
  • Error logged to console via logger module
  • Retry button available in error fallback
  • Loading skeleton shown during data fetch
  • Tests verify error boundary behavior
  • All 14 language dashboard variants work with error handling

📚 References

  • Logger: src/browser/shared/logger.ts
  • Data loader: src/browser/shared/data-loader.ts
  • Dashboards: src/browser/dashboards/ (12 files)
  • Theme: src/browser/shared/theme.ts

Pull request overview

Adds a shared browser-side “error boundary” + fallback UI primitives intended to isolate dashboard component failures so one broken panel doesn’t take down the full dashboard experience.

Changes:

  • Introduces renderLoadingFallback() and renderErrorFallback() for consistent loading/error UI states.
  • Introduces renderWithFallback() wrapper to orchestrate skeleton → render → error fallback + retry.
  • Adds a dedicated Vitest suite covering sync/async success/failure and retry behavior; re-exports new modules via the shared barrel.

Fixed in ff8cb7b. renderLoadingFallback now accepts an optional loadingLabel parameter (default 'Loading…') that is forwarded directly to the aria-label attribute, so callers on non-English dashboards can pass a localised string.

Retry clicks can start multiple concurrent attempt() executions (each click schedules a new async attempt). This can lead to race conditions where slower retries overwrite newer successful renders. Consider guarding with an inFlight flag / disabling the retry button during an active attempt, and re-enabling it only after completion/failure.

const attempt = async (): Promise<void> => {
renderLoadingFallback(container);
try {
await Promise.resolve(renderFn());

Fixed in ff8cb7b. renderWithFallback now declares let inFlight = false and wraps the body of attempt() with a guard that returns early if inFlight is true, with inFlight = false in the finally block. A new test case ("ignores concurrent retry clicks while an attempt is already in flight") verifies the behaviour.

PR description says dashboard modules were updated to use the new error boundary, but there are no renderWithFallback call sites under src/browser/dashboards/ (verified by search). Without wiring this into the dashboards, the page-level resilience improvement described in the PR won’t actually be realized.

Fixed in ff8cb7b. renderErrorFallback is now imported and used in the catch blocks of both party-dashboard.ts and risk-dashboard.ts, replacing the bespoke inline div/innerHTML error patterns. Both pass () => void init() as the retry callback so users can recover without a full page reload.

The module docstring claims “cyberpunk theme styling” and WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, but there are no CSS rules in the repo for the new .fallback-* / .skeleton-bar classes (only defined here). Either add the corresponding CSS (and any required focus/contrast styles), or tone down the docstring to avoid overstating what the module provides.

The retry button label is hard-coded to “Retry”. Since dashboards are localized (14 languages) and other parts of the UI use i18n, consider making the button label configurable (e.g., additional parameter) or have callers pass the localized string so the shared fallback UI doesn’t force English text.

This module introduces several new CSS hook class names (fallback-error-card, fallback-loading-skeleton, skeleton-bar, fallback-retry-btn, etc.), but there are no corresponding style rules anywhere in the repo’s CSS. Without styles, the "skeleton loader" won’t animate/appear as intended and the error card/button may look unstyled. Add the required CSS (including visible focus styles + reduced-motion handling for animations) in the main stylesheet used by dashboards.

Fixed in 1f7fcd4. Added CSS for all .fallback-* and .skeleton-bar classes in styles.css, including :focus-visible outline using --focus-ring, @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) to disable the shimmer animation, and dark-mode contrast adjustments. The skeleton animation reuses the existing --skeleton-base / --skeleton-shine design tokens.

renderWithFallback() always calls renderLoadingFallback(container), which clears the container’s existing DOM. Most dashboards rely on pre-existing markup (e.g. <canvas id="partyEffectivenessChart"> in index*.html) and render functions query by ID rather than recreating elements; if callers pass a container that wraps those elements, the skeleton will delete them and retries/successful renders may silently do nothing. Consider changing the contract so loading/error states overlay without destroying required children, or snapshot/restore the container’s original markup on retry.

Fixed in 1f7fcd4. renderWithFallback now snapshots container.innerHTML at call time and restores it (container.innerHTML = originalHTML) immediately before invoking renderFn(), so any pre-existing DOM elements (e.g. <canvas> targets) are always present when the render function runs — on the initial attempt and on every retry. Two new tests verify this behavior.

renderErrorFallback(dashboardSection, ...) clears and replaces the entire #party-dashboard section. On retry, init() expects existing chart DOM (e.g., #partyEffectivenessChart, #partyComparisonChart, etc.), but those canvases were removed by the fallback, so the dashboard cannot recover without a page reload. Render the error UI into a dedicated placeholder inside the section (or preserve/restore the original section markup before retry) so a retry can actually re-render charts.

Fixed in 1f7fcd4. The catch block now creates a div (errContainer), appends it to dashboardSection, and calls renderErrorFallback(errContainer, …). This leaves the canvas elements untouched. The retry callback removes errContainer before re-calling init(), so all expected chart targets are present for the retry render.

The fallback is rendered into #earlyWarningAlerts, but that element does not exist in the checked-in index*.html pages (only #earlyWarnings is present), so users will still see no error UI when data loading fails. Consider rendering into an element that actually exists (e.g. #earlyWarnings or #risk-dashboard) and ensure the error UI is cleared on a subsequent successful retry.

Fixed in 1f7fcd4. Corrected from the non-existent #earlyWarningAlerts to #risk-dashboard (which exists in all index*.html files). Uses the same child-placeholder pattern: creates a div (errContainer), prepends it to the section, and the retry removes it before re-calling init().

renderWithFallback() always uses the default English loading label (via renderLoadingFallback(loadingOverlay)) and default English retry label (since it calls renderErrorFallback(container, fallbackMessage, attempt) without a retryLabel). In a 14-language UI this makes it hard to use renderWithFallback without mixed-language accessibility text. Consider extending the API (e.g., an options param) to allow callers to pass localized loadingLabel and retryLabel (and forward them to the underlying fallback renderers).

Fixed in d1f4a9d. Added a RenderWithFallbackOptions interface with optional loadingLabel and retryLabel fields. renderWithFallback now accepts this as an optional 4th parameter (defaults to {} for backwards compatibility) and forwards both fields to the underlying renderLoadingFallback and renderErrorFallback calls. Two new tests verify the forwarding.

The retry callback calls void init(); without handling rejections. risk-dashboard’s init() only wraps the data-load in a try/catch; any error thrown later during chart rendering will reject the promise, and triggering it from a click handler this way can surface as an unhandled promise rejection. Consider calling init().catch((e) => logger.error('Retry failed:', e)) (or wrapping the whole init() body in a top-level try/catch) so retries can fail safely.

void init();
init().catch((err) =>
logger.error('Retry failed during risk dashboard re-initialization:', err),

container.innerHTML = originalHTML recreates all child nodes and drops any event listeners/state (it restores markup, not the original DOM elements). This can break callers that capture references to child elements before calling renderWithFallback, and it makes the comment about preserving/restoring pre-existing elements misleading. Consider (a) only restoring on retry (not the first attempt) and/or (b) snapshotting and re-attaching the original childNodes instead of using innerHTML, or at minimum update the comments/docstring to reflect that nodes are recreated.

Fixed in 813531d. Added an isFirstAttempt flag: the first call to attempt() now skips container.innerHTML = originalHTML entirely, so any child element references held by the caller remain valid. The innerHTML restore only runs on retry (where canvas elements must be back in the DOM after the error card was shown). The docstring now notes that post-retry child references will point to recreated nodes.

These tests use await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 0)) to wait for the async retry attempt after btn.click(). This can introduce timing flakiness in CI. Prefer flushing microtasks deterministically (or using Vitest fake timers / advanceTimersByTimeAsync) so the test waits specifically for the retry attempt to settle.

Suggested change
// Allow the async re-render to complete
await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 0));
// Allow the async re-render (promise microtasks) to complete deterministically
await Promise.resolve();

Fixed in 813531d. Replaced all three await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 0)) calls in the test suite with await Promise.resolve() for deterministic microtask flushing.

renderWithFallback appends a div[data-error-boundary-loading] and refers to it as a “loading overlay”, but there are no CSS rules for that attribute/class, and the element also has no class name. As a result it will behave like a normal block element (likely pushing content down) rather than overlaying the existing chart/canvas area, which can make the loading state hard to notice. Consider adding a dedicated class (or CSS for [data-error-boundary-loading]) that positions the overlay over the container (and ensuring the container establishes a positioning context), so the skeleton is consistently visible without changing layout.

Suggested change
loadingOverlay.setAttribute('aria-busy', 'true');
loadingOverlay.setAttribute('aria-busy', 'true');
loadingOverlay.className = 'error-boundary-loading-overlay';
// Ensure the container provides a positioning context for the overlay.
const currentPosition = getComputedStyle(container).position;
if (currentPosition === '' || currentPosition === 'static') {
container.style.position = 'relative';
}
// Style the overlay to cover the container without affecting layout.
loadingOverlay.style.position = 'absolute';
loadingOverlay.style.top = '0';
loadingOverlay.style.right = '0';
loadingOverlay.style.bottom = '0';
loadingOverlay.style.left = '0';
loadingOverlay.style.display = 'flex';
loadingOverlay.style.alignItems = 'center';
loadingOverlay.style.justifyContent = 'center';
loadingOverlay.style.zIndex = '1';
loadingOverlay.style.pointerEvents = 'none';

This adds a second skeleton shimmer implementation (.skeleton-bar + @keyframes skeleton-shimmer) even though the stylesheet already defines a generic skeleton system (.skeleton + @keyframes shimmer) earlier in the file. Duplicating the gradient/animation makes future visual tweaks easy to miss in one place and can lead to inconsistent skeleton behavior. Consider reusing the existing .skeleton styles for these bars (e.g., apply the existing skeleton class to the generated bar elements and drop the duplicate keyframes/gradient here).
