Error message

dashboard-stream-only-delete-smart-filter

What it means

Thrown by StreamService.DeleteDashboardSmartFilterStream when the loaded stream's StreamType is not DashboardStreamType.SmartFilter. Only user-created SmartFilter dashboard entries are deletable here; built-in dashboard widgets must be hidden via update-dashboard-stream, not deleted. It is a localized KavitaException surfaced as HTTP 500.

Solutions

1. Gate the delete UI on streamType === 'smartFilter'; hide delete for built-in dashboard widgets.
2. To remove a built-in widget from the dashboard, POST update-dashboard-stream with visible=false instead.
3. If a smart-filter must be removed, confirm its type before showing the delete control.

Example fix

// before
canDelete(s: DashboardStreamDto) { return true; }
// after
canDelete(s: DashboardStreamDto) { return s.streamType === 'smartFilter'; }

function isSmartFilterDashboardStream(s: DashboardStreamDto): boolean {
  return s?.streamType === 'smartFilter';
}

function isDeletableDashboardStream(s: DashboardStreamDto): s is DashboardStreamDto {
  return s?.streamType === 'smartFilter';
}

on 'dashboard-stream-only-delete-smart-filter', hide the delete control and offer update-dashboard-stream (visible=false) instead

When it happens

Trigger: DELETE /api/streams/smart-filter-dashboard-stream?dashboardStreamId=N where the stream exists and is owned by the user but its StreamType is not SmartFilter (e.g., a built-in dashboard widget).

Common situations: The UI offers delete on a built-in dashboard stream; the user expects to remove a system widget through the delete endpoint instead of hiding it.
