### 🔴 CRITICAL
### Implement proper error boundaries
**Priority:** CRITICAL
**Added:** 2026-05-08 by Scarlett
**Description:**
The app has no React error boundaries. When a component throws an error (network failure, unexpected data shape, etc.), the entire app crashes with a white screen and no clear path to recovery.
**Rationale:**
User experience and reliability. Currently, any JavaScript error in a component causes a complete app crash. Error boundaries would allow the app to display a fallback UI and potentially recover. This is especially important for production use where you can't predict all error conditions.
**Implementation Notes:**
- Create a generic `ErrorBoundary` component with fallback UI
- Wrap top-level pages (TrackerPage, BillsPage, AnalyticsPage) in error boundaries
- Wrap App.jsx router with error boundary
- Log errors to console and optionally to error tracking service
- Consider adding `componentDidCatch` class component wrapper for critical paths
- Files likely to be modified: Add new `client/components/ErrorBoundary.jsx`, wrap pages in App.jsx
- Estimated effort: 45-60 minutes
### No Transaction Wrapping for Migrations
**Priority:** CRITICAL
**Status:** PENDING

## v0.19.2
### Added
- **React Error Boundaries**`ErrorBoundary` component wraps all routes in `App.jsx`. Shows friendly fallback UI with "Try Again" and "Reload Page" buttons instead of a white screen crash. Logs component stack to console for debugging.
### Fixed
- **Legacy database migration login failure** — Users upgrading from pre-migration-tracking databases (before v0.19.1) now log in successfully. The startup flow now detects legacy databases (tables exist but `schema_migrations` is empty), reconciles all previously-applied migrations by checking actual DB state, and marks them as applied without re-running destructive operations.
- **Migration idempotency** — All migrations now check whether their changes are already present before applying, preventing `ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN` failures on legacy databases.

## Error Boundaries (2026-05-09)
**Added:** React Error Boundary component wrapping all routes for graceful error handling.
**Changes:**
- `client/components/ErrorBoundary.jsx` — New component with fallback UI and recovery options
- `client/App.jsx` — All routes wrapped with `<ErrorBoundary>`
### Component Location
**File:** `client/components/ErrorBoundary.jsx`
### Features
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Error Capture** | Catches JavaScript errors in child components |
| **Fallback UI** | Displays friendly error message with details |
| **Try Again** | Resets component state without reloading |
| **Reload Page** | Full page reload to recover |
| **Error Details** | Shows error message and component stack for debugging |
### How It Works
1. **Error Detection:** When a child component throws an error, `componentDidCatch()` captures it
2. **State Update:** `getDerivedStateFromError()` sets `hasError=true`
3. **Fallback Render:** Component renders fallback UI instead of crashing
4. **Recovery:** User clicks "Try Again" (reset) or "Reload Page" (full refresh)
### Route Coverage
All routes are wrapped with ErrorBoundary:
```jsx
// Public routes
<Route path="/login" element={<ErrorBoundary><LoginPage /></ErrorBoundary>} />
<Route path="/about" element={<ErrorBoundary}><AboutPage /></ErrorBoundary>} />
// User routes
<Route index element={<ErrorBoundary><TrackerPage /></ErrorBoundary>} />
<Route path="bills" element={<ErrorBoundary><BillsPage /></ErrorBoundary>} />
<Route path="categories" element={<ErrorBoundary><CategoriesPage /></ErrorBoundary>} />
// ... all other user routes
// Admin routes
<Route
path="/admin"
element={<RequireAuth role="admin"><ErrorBoundary><AdminPage /></ErrorBoundary></RequireAuth>}
/>
```
### Developer Guidance
**Do not suppress errors in production.** ErrorBoundary provides recovery without exposing internal details. If you need to debug:
```javascript
// Check browser console for error details
// The component stack is logged and displayed in the fallback UI
console.error('ErrorBoundary caught:', error, componentStack);
```
