Someone opening the site from a link in iOS Safari got SvelteKit's bare "500 Internal Error" page. The access log showed every request returned 200: the app failed while starting up in the browser, and all we had to go on was the request trail. The frontend refactor (#876) already logs client errors and adds a proper error page, but the logged error had only a message, and the page offered only "Go to the home page", which does nothing for someone already on the home page.

Now an unexpected browser error is logged with its name, stack and the browser's user agent, so the next one tells us what failed and where. The user agent goes in metadata because pic-sure-logging only keeps metadata from frontend events. Stack and message are capped at 4000 characters to stay under the logging service's 10KB string limit. Query strings and fragments are removed from URLs in the stack and message, since the login callback page carries tokens there. The error page adds a "Try again" button for anything but a 404.

Before / after

• Error page on a 500: "Go to the home page" only → "Try again" (primary) and "Go to the home page" (secondary). 404 page unchanged.
• client.error audit event: kind, message, route → adds name, stack and user_agent for unexpected errors.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Error pages now offer a “Try again” action for errors other than 404, alongside a link back to the home page. The actions are arranged in a centered, wrapping layout for easier access.
• Bug Fixes
  • Unexpected errors now include more diagnostic details in telemetry, with message and stack information limited in length and sensitive URL query strings and fragments removed. Non-Error values are also recorded as readable messages.

Walkthrough

Unexpected client errors now include additional telemetry details. The error page now offers a retry action for non-404 errors and a home action for all errors, with button variants based on status.

Changes: Error handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Unexpected-error telemetry src/hooks.client.ts, src/hooks.client.test.ts	Unknown errors now include bounded message and stack details, the error name, and browser user agent. Stack-frame URLs have query strings and fragments removed. Tests check these details and handling of thrown strings.
Error-page actions src/routes/+error.svelte, src/routes/error.svelte.test.ts	Non-404 errors display a retry button that reloads the page. The home button appears for all errors and uses a status-dependent variant. Tests cover 500 and 404 pages.

- Line 27: Update the error serialization in the client hook to sanitize
non-Error thrown values before returning them, and apply the existing URL
query-string and fragment stripping to message text from both Error and
non-Error branches. Ensure all serialized message values are redacted for
tokens, credentials, and personal data before persistence.
- Line 33: Update the stack sanitization regex in the client hook so it removes
complete query strings and fragments from URL frames without stopping at token
values containing colon-delimited numbers or altering non-URL text such as
private method names. Anchor stripping to URL frames, and add tests for both
edge cases while preserving the existing stack-length limit.
