Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Expected authentication and HTTP errors are no longer reported as unexpected incidents.
    • Unexpected server errors now include richer request context for easier diagnosis.
    • Startup and initialization failures are captured for improved troubleshooting.
  • Improvements

    • Error monitoring now uses the Node.js SDK for more reliable backend reporting.
    • Monitoring settings support environment-specific configuration.
    • Distributed tracing is disabled by default and can be enabled through configuration.
    • Reports are more focused on actionable, unexpected failures.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The backend migrates Sentry usage to @sentry/node, initializes Sentry before Nest startup, filters expected authorization errors from reporting, centralizes exception capture, and retains the interceptor as a passthrough.

Changes

Sentry observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
SDK migration and startup initialization
backend/package.json, backend/src/main.ts, backend/src/entities/..., backend/src/helpers/slack/..., backend/src/microservices/agents-microservice/...
The backend removes @sentry/minimal, updates Sentry capture call sites to @sentry/node, and configures Sentry before Nest application creation.
Authorization error capture gating
backend/src/authorization/*.middleware.ts
Authorization middleware rethrows expected HTTP and authorization exceptions without Sentry capture. Unexpected errors continue to reach centralized handling.
Central exception reporting pipeline
backend/src/exceptions/all-exceptions.filter.ts, backend/src/interceptors/sentry.interceptor.ts
The global filter conditionally captures reportable exceptions with request metadata. The Sentry interceptor now passes requests through unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b8e2c

This migration changes backend error telemetry initialization and capture ownership. Handled startup failures may still exit without being sent or flushed, and unexpected authorization failures may be reported twice; broad direct SDK usage also makes rollback and policy changes coordination-heavy. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up for these bounded observability and rollback risks.

Full details: Security Check

Explanation

No security failure is introduced. The target-to-tip diff is limited to Sentry migration and error-reporting changes. Authentication behavior remains unchanged: JWT/API-key failures still raise HttpException or UnauthorizedException, and the middleware does not grant access on errors. The new capture guards exclude expected authorization failures and map unexpected failures to InternalServerErrorException. The Sentry dependency is pinned to @sentry/node 10.53.1, with the legacy package removed from both backend/package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml. No changed path exposes credentials, weakens authorization, or creates an attacker-controlled access path.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the backend’s Sentry integration by removing @sentry/minimal (v6) and standardizing on @sentry/node (v10), while also moving initialization earlier in startup to capture pre-bootstrap failures and centralizing exception reporting in the global exception filter.

Changes:

  • Remove @sentry/minimal dependency and migrate imports/usages to @sentry/node.
  • Initialize Sentry before NestFactory.create and make tracing sampling configurable via env vars.
  • Consolidate exception capture into AllExceptionsFilter and reduce auth-related noise/double-reporting.

Annotate the withScope callback.

Use (scope: Sentry.Scope): void => { ... }. @sentry/node@10.53.1 exports Scope, and withScope passes that type to the callback.

Keep unexpected authorization errors on one Sentry capture path.

These authorization catches capture non-HttpException errors locally and then map them to InternalServerErrorException, which the global filter captures again. One failure can therefore produce duplicate events while the second loses the original error context. Remove the local captures, or preserve the original error and make the global filter the sole capture owner.

Remove the local Sentry capture for DAO errors.

This path can report one DAO failure three times: the original error at line 207, UnknownSQLException in the outer catch, and the same 500 exception in AllExceptionsFilter. Keep one capture point and preserve the original error context.
