* Add safely marshal JSON function within application - #6588
Binding calls continue to return their results even if a result cannot be serialized, so serialization failures do not interrupt a completed call.
When serialization fails, a warning is logged and completion details are omitted from debug logs. Successfully serialized results continue to appear in those logs.
Binding-call result handling now uses panic-safe JSON marshaling. Encoding failures produce warnings. A marshaling failure does not prevent a successful bound-method result from being returned.
Changes
Binding-call marshaling
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Safe marshaling and warning support v3/pkg/application/marshal_safely.go, v3/pkg/application/messageprocessor.go
marshalSafely recovers from panics in json.Marshal and returns an error. MessageProcessor.Warn forwards messages and arguments to the configured logger.
Binding-call result handling v3/pkg/application/messageprocessor_call.go
Completion logging uses marshalSafely. If encoding fails, the processor warns and skips the completion debug log. After a successful bound-method call, an encoding failure produces a warning but does not prevent returning the result.
Supported Go 1.26 builds fail unless the JSON experiment is enabled. Fix the import before merging; duplicate result encoding also remains.

Explanation
The title "Add safely marshal JSON function within application" matches the main change: a new unexported marshalSafely helper that recovers from panics during json.Marshal, which is then used in the binding-call logging path. The title is slightly awkward in wording but it names the primary addition. It does not mention the warning logging or the MessageProcessor.Warn method, which is an acceptable omission.

Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the problem (the app panics when a binding call fails to encode), the fix (replace blind encoding with safe marshal and log a warning), and the added warning function. It links issue #6587. However, it leaves the template largely unfilled: the 'Fixes # (issue)' line is blank, the Type of change checkboxes are unchecked, the testing section (platforms, test steps, wails doctor output) is missing, and the template checklist is unchecked. It also does not explain the testing approach, and the test-related checklist item says tests were added, which the description does not mention.
Resolution
Complete the template sections. Fill in the 'Fixes #' line with issue #6587 (or the correct issue number). Check the applicable Type of change box (likely Bug fix). Describe how the change was tested, including whether unit tests were added for marshalSafely and the warning path. Mark the tested platforms and paste the wails doctor output or describe the environment. Review the checklist items and mark those that apply.

- Around line 179-180: Update the warning for the bound-method JSON encoding
failure in the message processor: replace the `%v` message formatting with a
plain message and pass `marshalErr` as the `"error"` slog attribute to `Warn`.
- Line 131: The error branch after BoundMethod.Call reports JSON encoding
failure based on the call error instead of the encoding error. Gate that warning
on marshalErr, and coordinate it with the completion-log path so an unencodable
result emits the encoding warning only once while a call error with a nil result
does not emit it.

Test marshalErr before reporting an encoding failure.
When BoundMethod.Call returns an error, it can leave result nil. Marshaling nil succeeds, but err != nil still emits “could not be JSON encoded” with a nil encoding error. Successful calls with unencodable results instead enter the completion-log branch. Gate this warning on marshalErr, and emit the encoding warning only once across the deferred and success paths.

@symball No apology needed, and thanks for the fix. The current PR head checks marshalErr.
One part of the finding remains: if a successful call returns a result that fails both encoding attempts, both paths log a warning. Please coordinate the paths so they emit one warning.
If you found this review helpful, would you consider giving us a shout-out on X?
* Within messageprocessor, app will panic if binding call fails to encode. Replace blind encode with safe marshal and issue a logger warning on failure
* Add warning message function to message processor

Remove the second result encoding.
Every successful binding call encodes result here and again in the deferred handler at Line 130. This adds a full encoding even when debug logging is disabled. If result implements a stateful MarshalJSON, the extra invocation can also change the returned value or make the two encoding attempts disagree. The deferred handler already logs the result or warns on failure. Remove this success-path encoding. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Use the supported JSON package
Go 1.26 requires GOEXPERIMENT=jsonv2 to import encoding/json/v2. The Linux parity job and ordinary Go 1.26 builds do not enable it, so they cannot compile the application package. Use encoding/json to preserve the previous marshaling behavior without requiring the experiment.
