HTTP ${res.status}

Error message

HTTP ${res.status}

What it means

Thrown by libraryDeleteSingle in documentLibrary.js when DELETE /api/document/<docId> returns non-2xx. Unlike document.js's delete, this site parses the response body and prefers j.detail, falling back to `HTTP <status>`, and reports via 'Failed to delete document: <msg>'. The card is only removed after the transition, so failure leaves the card intact.

Solutions

1. Read the toast — it includes the backend detail, which usually names the cause.
2. If 404, refresh the Library; the entry is stale and will disappear on reload (or treat 404 as success and remove the card locally).
3. Re-authenticate if 401.
4. Check server logs for 5xx during DELETE.

Example fix

// before
if (!res.ok) {
  let detail = `HTTP ${res.status}`;
  try { const j = await res.json(); if (j?.detail) detail = j.detail; } catch {}
  throw new Error(detail);
}

// after — treat 404 as already-deleted so the stale card still clears
if (!res.ok && res.status !== 404) {
  let detail = `HTTP ${res.status}`;
  try { const j = await res.json(); if (j?.detail || j?.error) detail = j.detail || j.error; } catch {}
  throw new Error(detail);
}

if (!docId || !/^[\w-]+$/.test(String(docId))) return;

try {
  const res = await fetch(`${API_BASE}/api/document/${docId}`, { method: 'DELETE', credentials: 'same-origin' });
  if (!res.ok && res.status !== 404) {
    let detail = `HTTP ${res.status}`;
    try { const j = await res.json(); if (j?.detail) detail = j.detail; } catch {}
    throw new Error(detail);
  }
  removeCard(card); // 404 means already deleted — still clear the stale card
} catch (a) {
  if (uiModule) uiModule.showError(`Failed to delete document: ${a.message || a}`);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Deleting from the Library grid when the doc was already purged (404 with a FastAPI-style detail body), auth expired (401), or server 500. Unlike error 53 this call does send credentials: 'same-origin'.

Common situations: Deleting in one tab while the Library in another tab is stale; server-side cascade/constraint errors; session cookie expired between load and delete.
