description: Triage OpenSEO production errors in Cloudflare Workers Observability — verified query recipes, counting gotchas, and a known-noise filter list applied automatically. Use when asked to review Cloudflare logs/observability, count OOMs or worker errors, compare error rates between periods, or investigate a prod error spike.

internal: true

# Observability triage
Query Cloudflare Workers Observability for prod errors, count them correctly, and skip the noise that has already been investigated to a dead end. Apply the known-noise list below without re-investigating those entries.
## Access
- Resolve the account at runtime — never hardcode it: the `cloudflare-api` MCP server pre-binds `accountId` in `mcp__cloudflare-api__execute`, and `npx wrangler whoami` prints it. The workers to triage are the ones this repo deploys (see `alchemy.run.ts`): the main app worker plus the aux workers (audit engine, landing, self-host).
- Query via the `cloudflare-api` MCP server (`mcp__cloudflare-api__execute`). If its tools are absent, run its authenticate flow and give the user the URL — **wrangler's OAuth token gets a 403 on the observability API** (missing scope), so don't burn time on curl-with-wrangler-token.
- PostHog is the second error source but **cannot see** `exceededMemory` / `canceled` / `responseStreamDisconnected` outcomes — worker-outcome questions are answerable only here.
## Query recipes (verified shapes)
`POST /accounts/{account_id}/workers/observability/telemetry/query`. All of these are load-bearing; the API's 400s are opaque:
- `queryId: "adhoc"` is required. Timeframe is epoch **milliseconds**: `timeframe: { from, to }`.
- Count invocations by outcome:
```json
{
"queryId": "adhoc",
"timeframe": { "from": 0, "to": 0 },
"parameters": {
"datasets": ["cloudflare-workers"],
"filters": [
{ "key": "$metadata.type", "operation": "eq", "value": "cf-worker-event", "type": "string" }
],
"calculations": [{ "operator": "count", "alias": "count" }],
"groupBys": [
{ "value": "$workers.scriptName", "type": "string" },
{ "value": "$workers.outcome", "type": "string" }
],
"limit": 100
},
"view": "calculations",
"limit": 100
}
```
- The `cf-worker-event` filter is what makes counts mean *invocations*; without it you count every log line.
- Raw samples: `view: "events"`, empty `calculations`/`groupBys`, small `limit`. Events carry `$metadata` (`service`, `trigger`, `level`, `message`, `fingerprint`, `requestId`) and `$workers` (`outcome`, `scriptName`, `scriptVersion`, `wallTimeMs`, `cpuTimeMs`, `eventType`).
- Error-level app logs grouped by message: filter `$metadata.level eq error`, groupBy `$metadata.message`.
- Verified filter operations: `eq`, `neq`. Percentiles: the API wants `"median"`, not `"p50"`. Filter for substrings client-side on fetched events.
- Useful drill-downs: groupBy `$metadata.trigger` (route), `$workers.scriptVersion` (did a deploy change the rate mid-window), `$workers.event.request.headers.user-agent`.
## Counting gotchas
- **Grouped results are unsorted and effectively capped (~10 rows returned regardless of `limit`).** A missing group ≠ zero. To see error outcomes, add `$workers.outcome neq ok` instead of hoping the error rows make the cut; sort client-side.
- **One isolate death fans out.** An OOM kills every request pinned to the isolate at the same instant — cluster raw OOM events by timestamp before reading the count as user impact.
- **Message prefixes fragment groups.** Logs with leading timestamps (better-auth's format) split one error into N single-count groups; grouped-by-message counts badly understate them. Sample events and merge client-side.
- **Prod deploys are manual** — main being fixed doesn't mean prod runs the fix. Check `$workers.scriptVersion` and the scripts' `modified_on` before concluding a fix didn't work.
## Known noise — filter these out, do not re-investigate
Entries land here only after an investigation proved there is **no first-party emit site to fix or demote**. Each keeps the one condition that would make it real signal again.
### 1. SAM chat Durable Object lifecycle (close code 1006)
- **Messages** (one phenomenon, counted three ways): `Connection closed: this Durable Object instance is no longer active. Reconnect or retry the request.` (hibernation/eviction), `Durable Object reset because its code was updated.` (deploy), plus the paired invocation summary whose `$metadata.error` is `close`.
- **Identify by**: `eventType: "hibernatableWebSocket"`, entrypoint `SamChatAgent`/`OnboardingChatAgent`, `webSocketType: "close", code: 1006, wasClean: false`, `outcome: "exception"`, single-digit `wallTimeMs`, `cpuTimeMs: 0`, no stack. Fingerprints `3aa4cac26653d09a0a41100a33d413ae` (exception), `0ae15457af49b4d9a117eeecf66b040a` (summary).
- **Why unfixable**: the DO is destroyed under the JS — its IoContext is already aborted when workerd delivers `webSocketClose`, so the first `await` never settles. `partyserver` already try/catches the whole close path; an `onClose` override would catch nothing.
- **Nothing breaks**: transcripts persist per message in DO SQLite, PartySocket reconnects unconditionally, and credit metering (`onChatResponse`) never fires on an aborted turn.
- **Real signal**: a sustained rise that does **not** correlate with a deploy (would mean mid-conversation evictions beyond hibernation).
### 2. `Network connection lost.`
- **Identify by**: fingerprint `be89d4ff7a64cb4d4dceae0f51cfe708`, or the message verbatim. Runtime-generated shape: `source.level` **absent**, `source.exception` **present**, `$metadata.origin: "fetch"` — the opposite of every app log (`source.level` present, no `exception`).
- **Why unfixable**: workerd's own record of a client disconnecting mid-stream; the exception never enters app code — the sibling request event for the same `requestId` has `outcome: "ok"`. No emit site exists; `wrangler.jsonc` observability config has no per-message filter. Do not add try/catch around the stream handlers (dead ceremony).
- **Real signal**: if the `/mcp` share of this group grows, treat it as a tool-call-latency symptom (clients timing out and cancelling) and route it to the /mcp performance track — not to this log group.
### Runtime-vs-app litmus test
Before investigating any unfamiliar error event: `source.level` absent + `source.exception` present ⇒ the Workers runtime wrote it, not the app. There is no call site to grep for; judge it by the sibling request's `outcome`.
## Adding an entry
Add to this list only after establishing there is no first-party emit site (grep the message; check the runtime-vs-app litmus above) and nothing is left in a wrong state. Every entry must include identify-by markers (fingerprint if stable) and its real-signal condition.
