HTTP ${res.status}

Error message

HTTP ${res.status}

What it means

Discarding manual edits POSTs to /manual-edit-discard; on a non-OK response the code throws Error('HTTP ' + res.status). Unlike the commit paths, this one does not parse the response body for a server error message, so you only get the status code.

Solutions

1. Note the status: 401/403 implies token mismatch — refresh the page to re-handshake
2. Check the dev-server logs for the /manual-edit-discard request failure
3. Retry the discard after refreshing; edits remain applied so nothing is lost
4. Re-run the live session if the server state has diverged

Example fix

// before
if (!res.ok) throw new Error('HTTP ' + res.status);
// after
if (!res.ok) {
  const errBody = await res.json().catch(() => ({}));
  throw new Error(errBody.error || ('HTTP ' + res.status));
}

async function discardIsSafe(port, token, pageUrl) {
  const res = await fetch('http://localhost:' + port + '/state?token=' + token);
  return res.ok; // server session alive before discarding
}

try {
  const res = await fetch(discardUrl, { method: 'POST' });
  if (!res.ok) throw new Error('HTTP ' + res.status);
} catch (e) {
  showToast('Discard failed: ' + e.message + ' - refresh to re-sync', 4000);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Clicking discard (trash) on pending copy edits while the dev server returns 4xx/5xx — e.g. stale token or unknown pageUrl.

Common situations: Dev server restarted (token mismatch); the pending-edit list changed server-side; transient server error during teardown.
