A relay request can correctly return HTTP 400 or 401, then hit the one-in-a-hundred session cleanup. If the cleanup database call fails, the outer handler replaces the status with 500 and appends a second JSON object.

Catch cleanup errors separately and log them. Maintenance must not change a reply that has already been written. Normal request errors still return their existing 500 response.

The HTTP tests require host PHP 8.0 or later, force scheduled cleanup, and remove the database host setting. They check that rejected requests keep their status and one valid JSON body, without depending on a cleanup lottery or a database.

Testing

Run the relay's HTTP tests. With no relay database configured, missing host tokens must return 401 and oversized guest IDs must return 400, even when cleanup runs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved error handling for remote access requests, returning a consistent generic JSON error response when unexpected failures occur.
    • Ensured post-request cleanup errors are logged without changing or replacing the response already sent to the client.
    • Cleanup now runs consistently after request handling, including when a request is rejected, improving reliability without affecting the response.

📝 Walkthrough

The relay now catches request-dispatch errors and returns a generic 500 JSON response. Cleanup runs after the response path, and cleanup failures are logged without changing the response. The PHP test setup forces cleanup to run for each request.

Changes: Remote relay handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request errors and post-response cleanup
packages/playground/remote-access/relay.php
The relay logs uncaught request errors and returns a generic 500 JSON response. It runs cleanup after the response path and logs cleanup failures without replacing the response.
Deterministic cleanup test setup
packages/playground/remote-access/src/fixtures/relay-force-cleanup.php, packages/playground/remote-access/src/relay-php.spec.ts, packages/playground/remote-access/README.md
The fixture clears host environment variables and supplies a minimum-bound random_int fallback. The PHP test server auto-prepends the fixture, disables random_int, requires PHP 8.0 or later, and documents the test setup.

The HTTP response handling is improved, but relay failures can still leak database details into application logs; sanitize these messages before production reliance.

- Around line 6-10: Update the cleanup fixture around the random_int fallback so
it works with PHP 7 as well as PHP 8: do not rely on
function_exists('random_int') when disabled functions remain defined, and use a
version-compatible mechanism that always forces scheduled cleanup. Preserve the
existing min-value behavior and test-server-only scope.

Remove raw exception messages from relay logs.

If mysqli::real_connect() fails, its error can identify the database user and host. Both catch blocks write the complete message to logs. Log a fixed error category and a safe diagnostic code instead; keep the generic HTTP response. (php.net)

Based on learnings, catch blocks must not log raw error details that can expose sensitive data.
