Failed to restore session

Error message

Failed to restore session

What it means

Toast shown when unarchiving a session fails. _arcRestore POSTs to /api/session/{sid}/unarchive and throws on any non-OK response; the bare catch also swallows failures in _arcRemove/_arcRefreshUI/loadSessions.

Solutions

1. Check the unarchive request status in the browser network tab
2. Reload the archive view to resync ids, then retry
3. Verify auth cookie / re-login if endpoints return 401
4. Log the caught error instead of discarding it to pinpoint the failing step

Example fix

// before
  } catch { uiModule.showError('Failed to restore session'); }

// after
  } catch (e) {
    console.error('unarchive failed:', e);
    uiModule.showError('Failed to restore session');
  }

if (!sid) return;
if (!navigator.onLine) { uiModule.showError('Offline — cannot restore session'); return; }

try { const res = await fetch(url, opts); if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${res.status}`); ... } catch (e) { console.error('unarchive', sid, e); uiModule.showError('Failed to restore session'); }

When it happens

Trigger: POST /api/session/{sid}/unarchive returns non-2xx (sid not in archive on server, expired auth) or the fetch rejects (offline, server down); also any error thrown by the follow-up UI refresh.

Common situations: Archive list out of sync with server (session already restored/deleted elsewhere); backend restarted; auth session expired while the archive view was open.
