What's New

Features & Improvements

  • Upstream API error trends. Errors that carry an HTTP status code are now aggregated per task — by status code, model type (chat / image / video) and API method — and returned by the task detail API. The frontend reports them anonymously as api_error events, and task-failure / creation-failure events now carry the extracted status code as well, so recurring upstream failures (for example 503 video_queue_full) can be tracked as a trend over time instead of being seen as unrelated single errors. The aggregation lives in memory for the lifetime of the task and is cleared with it; error_logs/ remains the offline source of truth.
  • Honest "not ready yet" state while polling. A transient 404 while waiting for a submitted video is now an expected intermediate state rather than an error. It no longer consumes the consecutive-failure budget and no longer gets flushed into error_logs, so the failure panel and the logs stop reporting failures for tasks that were in fact still queued upstream.

Refactoring & Optimizations

  • Regression coverage for the upstream error-handling path: consecutive 404s followed by a successful completion, and a permanent 404 that correctly falls back to the overall polling timeout.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed video tasks failing with a spurious error when the upstream gateway had not made the task record visible yet — a state observed for 420s and even 1100s+ under peak load. The overall polling timeout stays as the final backstop, and it keeps the video_id so the task can be resumed rather than reported as a server-confirmed failure.
  • No action is required after upgrading. If a task still fails, the failure panel now shows the real upstream reason with its HTTP status code, and repeated upstream errors of the same kind become visible as a trend.
