Overview

This PR fixes multiple issues and adds comprehensive error handling infrastructure to improve application stability and user experience.

Issues Fixed

Issue #1: Remove expired hackathon redirect ✅

File: frontend/src/App.svelte:211

The temporary hackathon redirect with April 1, 2026 deadline has passed. This code was preventing users from accessing other routes with referral codes.

Changes:

  • Removed expired TODO comment and conditional redirect logic

Issue #2: Fix non-reactive reference in ContributionsList ✅

File: frontend/src/components/ContributionsList.svelte:22

Svelte was warning that the reactive reference only captured the initial value. Props changes weren't being reflected.

Changes:

  • Changed localError from $state to $derived for proper reactivity
  • Changed localLoading from $state to $derived for proper reactivity
  • Now properly reactive to prop changes

New Infrastructure

ErrorBoundary Component

File: frontend/src/components/ErrorBoundary.svelte

Global error boundary component that catches unhandled component errors and displays graceful fallback UI.

Features:

  • Catches component render errors
  • User-friendly error message display
  • Recovery buttons for error scenarios
  • Error logging for debugging

Error Handling Utilities

File: frontend/src/utils/errorHandling.js

Comprehensive utilities for API error handling and user feedback.

Exported Functions:

  1. fetchWithRetry() - Fetch with automatic retry logic
  2. formatErrorMessage() - User-friendly error formatting
  3. Logging utilities with [v0] prefix for debugging
