Description

Errors in production are captured via the error_tracker Elixir dependency and accessed via a dedicated dashboard at /dev/errors. There is no built-in tooling or endpoint to pull production errors programmatically in a pi session. This task covers the investigation and implementation of the best approach to expose production error data to pi, broken into three subtasks:

1. Expose production errors via a programmatic API (behind auth) — Add a JSON API endpoint under /api/v1/errors that lists errors and shows individual error details from the error_tracker tables.
2. Create pi tools to pull errors — Implement fetch_production_errors (list with filtering/pagination) and fetch_production_error (single error detail) as pi tools.
3. Create a pi extension to browse errors — Build an interactive TUI browsing experience via a pi extension that uses the tools from subtask 2.

Error data attributes

These are the attributes that subtask implementations must treat as the canonical data model:

Error (from error_tracker_errors table):

• id — UUID, unique error identifier
• kind — string, e.g. "error", "throw", "exit"
• reason — string, the error message/reason
• source_line — string, e.g. "lib/foo.ex:42"
• source_function — string, e.g. "MusicLibrary.Foo.bar/2"
• status — atom: :resolved | :unresolved
• fingerprint — hex string, deterministic hash of (kind, source_line, source_function)
• last_occurrence_at — UTC datetime (microsecond precision)
• muted — boolean
• inserted_at / updated_at — UTC datetime

Occurrence (from error_tracker_occurrences table):

• id — UUID
• reason — string, error reason at time of occurrence
• context — map, includes live_view.view, request.path, etc.
• breadcrumbs — array of strings
• stacktrace — embedded struct with lines array (each having: application, module, function, arity, file, line)
• error_id — FK to error
• inserted_at — UTC datetime

Aggregated/per-error metadata (computed, not stored):

• occurrence_count — total occurrences for this error
• first_occurrence_at — earliest occurrence timestamp
