Summary

Consolidates two debug overlays into one debug mode which is enabled by default on localhost and can be enabled with the URL parameter ?debug=1. If debug is active, overlays can be toggled with Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D. This shortcut does nothing if debug is not explicitly enabled or flock is running on localhost, to prevent children accidentally triggering it.

Both panels can be independently closed if you need to see something behind them.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an on-screen debug console for viewing logs, warnings, errors, exceptions, and promise failures.
    • Debug mode is enabled by default on localhost and can be enabled elsewhere with the debug URL parameter.
    • Added controls to open, close, and toggle the debug console using touch gestures, a keyboard shortcut, or the close button.
    • Added a responsive context debugging overlay that can be shown or hidden as needed.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@lawsie, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 46 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR centralizes debug-mode detection, conditionally loads a console overlay, adds context-overlay toggle state, and connects both overlays to a desktop keyboard shortcut.

Changes

Debug controls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Debug mode and console overlay
main/debugMode.js, index.html, main/debugConsole.js
Debug mode uses localhost defaults and the debug query parameter. The console overlay captures logs, errors, exceptions, and rejected promises while forwarding messages to the original console.
Context debug overlay
main/context.js
The context overlay uses shared debug-mode detection, responsive styling, a close button, and stored interval state. toggleContextDebug() shows or hides the overlay.
Keyboard debug toggle
main/main.js
Mod+Shift+KeyD toggles the debug log and context overlay when the global log toggle is available.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to ceb54

The PR consolidates debug overlays, but currently enables debug mode for query values beyond the specified ?debug=1 and includes an unused catch binding that may fail lint. This is a bounded correctness and check-readiness risk, so merge is reasonable with explicit owner follow-up.

Inline comments:
In `@main/debugConsole.js`:
- Around line 80-84: In the value-formatting try/catch block, update the catch
clause around JSON.stringify in the debug console logic to use an optional catch
binding instead of the unused underscore parameter, preserving the existing
String(a) fallback.

In `@main/debugMode.js`:
- Around line 4-7: Restrict isDebugModeEnabled() to return true only when the
debug query parameter is exactly "1"; otherwise retain the localhost fallback
when the parameter is absent. Update index.html to use isDebugModeEnabled()
before importing main/debugConsole.js so both overlays share this policy, and
add regression coverage for all five specified host/query cases confirming
matching results.
