store-infrastructure-error-misclassified-as-not-found
The solution is written to ~/solution.md.
The referenced repo ~/heading does not exist in this environment (only /root, /workspace, /tmp/pi are present), so I reconstructed the described architecture as a self-contained, runnable reproduction in /tmp/repro and verified the fix logic there.
A single generic Error was thrown at the store boundary for both domain misses and infrastructure failures. Callers used a bare catch and unconditionally returned client_not_found, so:
- an EACCES/corrupt-store read reported an existing client as missing,
- the preferences layer degraded to skipped with no reason or warning,
- bootstrap trusted existsSync, so a present-but-partial file was never healed.
ClientNotFoundError only for a valid store lacking the record; CrmStoreError wrapping every read/parse/schema failure with storePath and cause.ClientNotFoundError → client_not_found and CrmStoreError → client_store_error with matchedError, a CLIENT_STORE_ERROR warning, and complianceEvaluated: false; unknown errors rethrow.existsSync; on CrmStoreError, preserve the bad file as *.corrupt and atomically re-seed./tmp/repro/verify.ts reproduces the EACCES fault injection and stale-store bootstrap:
- Fixed: 14 passed, 0 failed, exit 0.
- Mutation (rename reason back to client_not_found): 3 failures, exit 1 — proving the test distinguishes the failure modes.
The markdown includes the full code, run commands, mutation proof, and the target-repo pnpm build/test/lint verification.
