Problem
When errors occur during session execution (e.g., "Process exited unexpectedly"), the actual error details are lost in the logs:
The error object appears as
{}becauseJSON.stringify()doesn't capture Error properties (message,stack,name) - they're not enumerable.Solution
Added a
serializeForLog()helper function that properly handles Error objects by explicitly extracting their non-enumerable properties.Before
After
Changes
serializeForLog()helper function insrc/ui/logger.tslogToFile()to use the new helpersendToRemoteServer()to use the same helper for consistencysrc/ui/logger.test.tsTesting
All 7 tests pass:
