Fixed EventSource Event Handler Bug

EventSource log handler was only processing 'output' events, missing others like 'connected'

Output

🐛 Bug Found and Fixed

Found the root cause of EventSource reconnection issues.

The Problem

EventSource log event handler was only checking for:

if (wrapper.event === 'output') { ... }
else if (wrapper.event === 'exit') { ... }
else if (wrapper.type === 'error') { ... }  // Wrong field!

Missing handlers for: connected, error (correct field), kontext, session_captured

Why This Broke Reconnection

  1. Navigate away → POST stream breaks
  2. Navigate back → EventSource connects to /events
  3. Server replays buffered events wrapped as event: log
  4. First buffered event is connected → ignored!
  5. No sse_event dispatch → status stays "Ready"
  6. Text events have event: output → should work but...

The Fix

Updated EventSource log handler to properly route ALL event types:

  • output → handleStreamEvent(wrapper)
  • exit → Close and check for kontask
  • error → Show error message
  • connected → Dispatch sse_event to update status
  • kontext, session_captured → Log and ignore
  • Unknown → Log warning

Test It

Konui restarted. Try navigating away and back - status should update and events should stream properly after reconnection.
