Error message

d.error || 'Failed to create calendar'

What it means

HTTP 500 from GET /{file_id}/vision when analyze_image_with_vl (src/document_processor.py:390) raises while computing OCR/description — e.g. the vision model is unreachable, credentials invalid, or image decoding fails. The underlying exception is interpolated into the message ('Vision analysis failed: {e}') after being logged, so the response carries the root cause. The cache write afterward is best-effort and never 500s.

Solutions

1. Read the response body / server log — the embedded {e} names the actual failure (auth error, timeout, decode error).
2. Fix the vision model configuration (endpoint URL, API key, quota) in the environment and retry without force=1 so any existing cache is used.
3. If the image itself is corrupt, re-upload the source file; a partially-written upload will fail decode every time.
4. Avoid force=1 in automated flows — it bypasses the cache and exposes every request to model availability.
5. Treat this as transient where applicable: retry with backoff after restoring model access.

Example fix

// before
const r = await fetch(`/api/upload/${id}/vision?force=1`);

// after
const r = await fetch(`/api/upload/${id}/vision`); // prefer cache; force only on user action

async function getVisionText(id, { force = false, retries = 2 } = {}) {
  for (let i = 0; i <= retries; i++) {
    const r = await fetch(`/api/upload/${id}/vision${force ? '?force=1' : ''}`, { credentials: 'include' });
    if (r.ok) return (await r.json()).text;
    if (r.status === 500 && i < retries) { await sleep(1000 * 2 ** i); continue; }
    throw new Error(`vision failed: ${await r.text()}`); // body carries root cause
  }
}

When it happens

Trigger: First (uncached) GET /vision for an image while the vision model API is down, the API key is invalid/quota-exhausted, the image is corrupt so decode fails, or the model returns a payload the parser rejects. Cached entries (UPLOAD_DIR/.vision/{id}.txt) never hit this path unless force=1.

Common situations: Missing/rotated VL model credentials in deployment env; vision provider rate limit or outage; corrupt upload (partial write) so PIL/opening the file throws; forcing recompute with ?force=1 during an outage when a good cache existed.
