One dead ticket id no longer voids the whole Linear batch - #108
Conversation
Linear answers an aliased batch query with HTTP 200, an errors array and an EMPTY data payload as soon as ONE alias names an issue it cannot resolve -- a deleted ticket, or one the key cannot see. fetchTicketsBatch swallowed that in a bare catch and returned an empty map, and callers write fetchedAt regardless, so a single dead id held the entire branch cache at ticket:null indefinitely. Measured on this machine: 203 cached ids resolved 0 tickets; the batch of 2 worked and the batch of 3 did not. Failed chunks are now halved and retried, so live tickets still land and a dead id costs log2(chunk) queries to isolate instead of taking its neighbours with it. Same 203 ids now resolve 173, the remaining 30 being genuinely unresolvable. The GraphQL runner is injectable so the tests pin the behaviour without touching the network.

ChangesLinear batch resilience
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change preserves successful batch fetching while isolating genuinely missing tickets, but unexpected Linear errors could still be mistaken for missing tickets and clear cached results, with limited diagnostic logging. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to distinguish expected missing-issue errors and record unexpected failures. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Do not classify every GraphQL failure as an unresolvable identifier.
linearGraphql throws for timeouts, non-OK HTTP responses, and all GraphQL errors. Line 225 catches each failure and eventually drops every single-ID chunk.
fetchAndCache then receives a resolved empty map and overwrites cached tickets with null. This bypasses its existing rejection path that preserves cached entries during a Linear outage.
Only split a chunk after the error is classified as the expected inaccessible-or-deleted-issue response. Rethrow operational, authentication, rate-limit, and query failures. Add a test where run throws a timeout error and verify that fetchTicketsBatch rejects. Log a caught non-expected error at warn with { err }.
As per coding guidelines, “Below a logged seam, an empty catch is acceptable only for genuinely expected conditions … anything else logs at warn with { err }.”

Halving caught every error, so an outage resolved to an empty map that looks exactly like "none of these tickets exist". enrichBranches keeps its cached tickets only on a rejection, so that would overwrite good tickets with null on every Linear blip. LinearGraphqlError marks the HTTP-200-plus-errors answer. Only it halves; timeouts, 5xx, 401 and 429 rethrow.

Third and final cause of the branch cache never carrying Linear tickets. #103 and #105 fixed the two short-circuits that prevented healing; this is why there was nothing to heal to.
The mechanism.
fetchTicketsBatchbuilds one aliased GraphQL query for every id. Linear answers with HTTP 200, anerrorsarray (Entity not found: Issue) and an emptydatapayload the moment a single alias names an issue it cannot resolve — deleted, or invisible to the key. The barecatch {}turned that into an empty map, and callers (refreshAllMRs) writefetchedAt: nowregardless, so one dead id parked the whole cache atticket: nullforever.Measured on a real machine before the fix: 203 distinct cached ids → 0 tickets resolved. Bisected: batch of 1 fine, batch of 2 fine, batch of 3 returns nothing. Captured the swallowed response to confirm the empty-
databehavior rather than inferring it.After: the same 203 ids resolve 173; the other 30 are genuinely unresolvable. A failed chunk is halved and retried, so a dead id costs log2(chunk) extra queries to isolate instead of taking its neighbours down. A whole-live batch still costs exactly one query — pinned by a test, since the obvious naive fix (per-id queries) would have been 203 round trips.
The GraphQL runner is now injectable, so all four tests run without the network. Unit stage green (4,242).
