# Execution Plan: Improve User-Friendly Error Messages
> **IMPORTANT:** This plan file must NOT be committed to the repository. Keep it for reference and PR description.
---
## Phase 1: Preparation (Steps 0-3)
- [ ] **Step 0: Verify Clean Working Tree**
```bash
git status
```
Ensure working tree is clean (no uncommitted changes) before starting.
- [ ] **Step 1: Run Baseline Tests**
```bash
pnpm test src/auto-reply/reply/agent-runner.runreplyagent.test.ts
pnpm vitest run --config vitest.e2e.config.ts src/auto-reply/reply.triggers.trigger-handling.includes-error-cause-embedded-agent-throws.e2e.test.ts
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Verify Branch**
```bash
git branch
```
Should show: `refactor/improve-error-messages`
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify Imports Available**
Confirm these functions exist in `src/agents/pi-embedded-helpers.ts`:
- `isRateLimitErrorMessage()`
- `isAuthErrorMessage()`
- `isBillingErrorMessage()`
- `isTimeoutErrorMessage()`
- `isOverloadedErrorMessage()`
---
## Phase 2: Code Changes (Steps 4-6)
- [ ] **Step 4: Edit `src/auto-reply/reply/agent-runner-execution.ts`**
#### 4.1 Add imports (replace lines 7-13):
```typescript
import {
isAuthErrorMessage,
isBillingErrorMessage,
isCompactionFailureError,
isContextOverflowError,
isLikelyContextOverflowError,
isOverloadedErrorMessage,
isRateLimitErrorMessage,
isTimeoutErrorMessage,
isTransientHttpError,
sanitizeUserFacingText,
} from "../../agents/pi-embedded-helpers.js";
```
#### 4.2 Add error classification after line 428:
```typescript
// Classify error type for user-friendly messaging
const isRateLimit = isRateLimitErrorMessage(message);
const isAuthError = isAuthErrorMessage(message);
const isBillingError = isBillingErrorMessage(message);
const isTimeoutError = isTimeoutErrorMessage(message);
const isOverloaded = isOverloadedErrorMessage(message);
```
#### 4.3 Replace lines 515-524 with user-friendly messages:
```typescript
let fallbackText: string;
if (isContextOverflow) {
fallbackText =
"⚠️ Context overflow — prompt too large for this model. Try a shorter message or a larger-context model.";
} else if (isRoleOrderingError) {
fallbackText =
"⚠️ Message ordering conflict - please try again. If this persists, use /new to start a fresh session.";
} else if (isRateLimit || isOverloaded) {
fallbackText = "The AI service is busy. Please wait a moment and try again.";
} else if (isAuthError) {
fallbackText =
"I couldn't connect to the AI service. Please verify your API key is configured correctly.";
} else if (isBillingError) {
fallbackText =
"I've reached my limit with the AI service. Please check your account balance and try again.";
} else if (isTimeoutError) {
fallbackText = "The request timed out. Please try again, or start a fresh session with /new.";
} else {
fallbackText =
"Something unexpected happened. Try /new to start a fresh conversation, or try again in a moment.";
}
```
#### 4.4 Remove lines 516-519 (old safeMessage/trimmedMessage variables - no longer needed)
- [ ] **Step 5: Run Lint**
```bash
pnpm check
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Run TypeScript**
```bash
pnpm tsgo
```
---
## Phase 3: Test Updates (Steps 7-10)
- [ ] **Step 7: Edit Test File - Existing Test**
Open: `src/auto-reply/reply.triggers.trigger-handling.includes-error-cause-embedded-agent-throws.e2e.test.ts`
Update line 69-71:
- From: `"⚠️ Agent failed before reply: sandbox is not defined.\nLogs: openclaw logs --follow"`
- To: `"Something unexpected happened. Try /new to start a fresh conversation, or try again in a moment."`
- [ ] **Step 8: Add New Tests**
Add these 4 new tests to the same file (after the existing test):
#### 8.1 Rate Limit Error Test
```typescript
it("returns friendly message for rate limit errors", async () => {
await withTempHome(async (home) => {
const runEmbeddedPiAgentMock = getRunEmbeddedPiAgentMock();
runEmbeddedPiAgentMock.mockRejectedValue(
new Error("rate_limit_exceeded: API rate limit exceeded"),
);
const res = await getReplyFromConfig(BASE_MESSAGE, {}, makeCfg(home));
const text = Array.isArray(res) ? res[0]?.text : res?.text;
expect(text).toBe("The AI service is busy. Please wait a moment and try again.");
});
});
```
#### 8.2 Auth Error Test
```typescript
it("returns friendly message for auth errors", async () => {
await withTempHome(async (home) => {
const runEmbeddedPiAgentMock = getRunEmbeddedPiAgentMock();
runEmbeddedPiAgentMock.mockRejectedValue(new Error("401 Unauthorized: Invalid API key"));
const res = await getReplyFromConfig(BASE_MESSAGE, {}, makeCfg(home));
const text = Array.isArray(res) ? res[0]?.text : res?.text;
expect(text).toBe(
"I couldn't connect to the AI service. Please verify your API key is configured correctly.",
);
});
});
```
#### 8.3 Billing Error Test
```typescript
it("returns friendly message for billing errors", async () => {
await withTempHome(async (home) => {
const runEmbeddedPiAgentMock = getRunEmbeddedPiAgentMock();
runEmbeddedPiAgentMock.mockRejectedValue(
new Error("402 Payment Required: billing limit exceeded"),
);
const res = await getReplyFromConfig(BASE_MESSAGE, {}, makeCfg(home));
const text = Array.isArray(res) ? res[0]?.text : res?.text;
expect(text).toBe(
"I've reached my limit with the AI service. Please check your account balance and try again.",
);
});
});
```
#### 8.4 Timeout Error Test
```typescript
it("returns friendly message for timeout errors", async () => {
await withTempHome(async (home) => {
const runEmbeddedPiAgentMock = getRunEmbeddedPiAgentMock();
runEmbeddedPiAgentMock.mockRejectedValue(
new Error("408 Request Timeout: connection timed out"),
);
const res = await getReplyFromConfig(BASE_MESSAGE, {}, makeCfg(home));
const text = Array.isArray(res) ? res[0]?.text : res?.text;
expect(text).toBe(
"The request timed out. Please try again, or start a fresh session with /new.",
);
});
});
```
- [ ] **Step 9: Edit Unit Test**
Open: `src/auto-reply/reply/agent-runner.runreplyagent.test.ts`
Update line ~740-742:
- Change expected message to: `"Something unexpected happened. Try /new to start a fresh conversation, or try again in a moment."`
- [ ] **Step 10: Run Tests**
```bash
pnpm test src/auto-reply/reply/agent-runner.runreplyagent.test.ts
pnpm vitest run --config vitest.e2e.config.ts src/auto-reply/reply.triggers.trigger-handling.includes-error-cause-embedded-agent-throws.e2e.test.ts
```
---
## Phase 4: Changelog (Step 11)
- [ ] **Step 11: Update CHANGELOG.md**
Add to `### Fixes` section under `## 2026.2.19`:
```markdown
- Auto-reply: show user-friendly error messages based on error type (rate limit, auth, billing, timeout) instead of exposing technical details.
```
---
## Phase 5: Commit & Push (Steps 12-14)
- [ ] **Step 12: Review Changes**
```bash
git diff
```
- [ ] **Step 13: Stage and Commit**
```bash

| Role ordering conflict | `/incorrect role information\|roles must alternate/i` | "⚠️ Message ordering conflict - please try again. If this persists, use /new to start a fresh session." |
| Rate limit | `isRateLimitErrorMessage()` | "The AI service is busy. Please wait a moment and try again." |
| Overloaded | `isOverloadedErrorMessage()` | "The AI service is busy. Please wait a moment and try again." |
