Jumpstart Error Fix - "Error: undefined"

Problem Identified

Location: JumpstartWizard.tsx line 160-169

Error: ❌ Error: undefined after "🚀 IGNITION! Registering Job in System..."

Root Cause: The createItem('generation_jobs', ...) call is failing because:

1. The filters field is trying to store the entire inventory (1456 posts) as JSON
2. This might exceed Directus field size limits
3. The error object doesn't have a .message property, so it logs "undefined"

Problematic Code:

const job = await client.request(createItem('generation_jobs', {
    site_id: siteId,
    status: 'Pending',
    type: 'Refactor',
    target_quantity: inventory.total_posts,
    filters: {
        items: inventory.items, // ❌ TOO LARGE - 1456 posts!
        mode: 'refactor'
    }
}));

Solution

Option 1: Store Only Essential Data

Instead of storing all 1456 posts in the job record, store only:

• Post count
• WordPress site URL
• Filter criteria

The engine can fetch posts directly from WordPress when processing.

Option 2: Batch Processing

Create multiple smaller jobs instead of one massive job.

Option 3: Use Separate Table

Store the inventory in a separate job_items table with a foreign key to the job.

Recommended Fix (Option 1)

const job = await client.request(createItem('generation_jobs', {
    site_id: siteId,
    status: 'Pending',
    type: 'Refactor',
    target_quantity: inventory.total_posts,
    config: {
        wordpress_url: siteUrl,
        mode: 'refactor',
        batch_size: 5
    }
}));

Then update the engine to fetch posts directly from WordPress using the stored URL.

Additional Fix: Better Error Logging

} catch (e) {
    const errorMsg = e?.message || e?.error || JSON.stringify(e) || 'Unknown error';
    addLog(`❌ Error: ${errorMsg}`);
    console.error('Full error:', e); // Log full error to console
}

This will show the actual error message instead of "undefined".
