Failed to disconnect and revoke API key

Error message

Failed to disconnect and revoke API key

What it means

HTTP 500 from DELETE /api/browser-extension/disconnect, which revokes the browser extension's API key via BrowserExtensionApiKey.delete(apiKeyId). The handler throws (and converts to this message) when delete reports {success:false, error}, or when the DB delete itself throws - e.g. the key row was already removed, the database is unavailable, or response.locals.apiKey was not populated. The original error is only in the server console.

Solutions

1. Check server logs for the console.error output naming the real cause
2. Retry disconnect once after refreshing the extension - an already-revoked key usually resolves itself
3. If it persists, verify DB health (volume, disk, locks)
4. Re-connect the extension to mint a new key, which replaces dangling state

Example fix

// before
await disconnect(); // fire-and-forget, throws on 500
// after
const res = await disconnect();
if (!res.ok && res.status !== 500) await reconnect();
// 500 with revoked/missing key is effectively disconnected - drop local key either way
clearStoredKey();

function isDisconnectFailure(d) { return typeof d?.error === 'string' && /disconnect/i.test(d.error); }

try { await disconnect(); }
catch (e) {
  clearLocalApiKey(); // 500 here often means the key is already gone - clearing local state is the safe end state
  if (persistsOnNextConnect()) await reconnect();
}

When it happens

Trigger: Disconnect clicked twice (second call may already lack a valid key row); database down or locked when deleting the key; middleware and handler disagreeing on the current key after rotation.

Common situations: Retry storms from the extension UI racing multiple disconnects; server storage issues; a key revoked out-of-band (expired/cleanup job) before the user pressed disconnect.
