Solutions

Check the outgoing PUT URL has a UUID id segment.
Disable the Save/Update button in the UI until a credential with a non-empty id is selected.
Validate id is a non-empty string before constructing the request.
Confirm route registration includes :id (e.g. app.put('/credentials/:id', ...)).

Example fix

// before
await api.updateCredential(editingId, payload) // editingId may be undefined

// after
if (typeof editingId !== 'string' || editingId.length === 0) {
  throw new Error('Cannot update: no credential id')
}
await api.updateCredential(editingId, payload)

Defensive patterns

Strategy: type-guard

Validate before calling

function requireCredentialId(id: unknown): string {
  if (typeof id !== 'string' || id.trim().length === 0) {
    throw new Error('credential id required to update')
  }
  return id
}

const id = requireCredentialId(editingId)
await api.updateCredential(id, payload)

Type guard

function isNonEmptyString(v: unknown): v is string {
  return typeof v === 'string' && v.length > 0
}

Try / catch

try {
  await api.updateCredential(id, payload)
} catch (e) {
  if (e.status === 412 && /id not provided/.test(e.message)) {
    // caller bug — do not retry
    console.error('update called without an id')
    return
  }
  throw e
}

Prevention

Disable the Save button until a row with a non-empty id is in edit mode.
Validate id and payload together in a single helper before issuing the PUT.
Use TypeScript so the update function's signature requires a string id.

When it happens

Trigger: PUT/PATCH /api/v1/credentials/ (no id) or /api/v1/credentials/undefined when updating a credential. The frontend typically builds the URL from a row's id that is null on first render.

Common situations: Edit form submitted before a credential row is selected. URL built from a destructured prop that is undefined. Route mis-registered without :id.
