fix(reporter): pre-fill the GitHub issue form with a crash summary

[soloturn]

AI-assisted change proposal. Filed by agent driven by @soloturn via GDD.

Summary

"Report Issue" just opened REPORT_ISSUE_LINK as-is - a bare https://github.com/.../issues/new, always blank, discarding everything the dialog already knows about the crash.

CrashSummary extracts, from the exception and the crashed process' own log output (the reporter runs in its own JVM per #52's subprocess isolation, so there's no other way to reach engine-version/module info):

• Every exception found - one labeled block each (full trace, capped at 15 lines, plus the 5 log lines logged right before it), naming the log tab it was found in. The one that triggered the report is always first, attributed to whichever tab also logged it if any (otherwise labeled "this crash"); every other exception found across the log tabs follows, so a crash whose real cause is an earlier exception logged in a different tab (e.g. during init) isn't left out.

  On macOS the crash reporter always relaunches in a subprocess (requiresProcessIsolation()), which reconstructs the exception from just its class name and message - its own stack trace points into the reporter's own relaunch machinery, not the real crash site. Whenever the triggering exception was also logged in a tab, the trace captured from that log text is used instead, since it's the real one.

• Engine version + active modules - extracted via regex against two fixed lines TerasologyEngine already emits at startup.

• OS + Java version - read directly via System.getProperty.

• The uploaded PasteBin link, when the user uploaded one.

How it reaches GitHub: @BenjaminAmos noted this shouldn't invent its own body format when Terasology already has a crash-bug-report template, and suggested converting it to an issue form so fields could be pre-populated individually. MovingBlocks/Terasology#5390 does that conversion. So:

• New GlobalProperties.KEY.REPORT_ISSUE_TEMPLATE - when a downstream app sets it (cr-terasology now does, to crash-bug-report.yml), CrashSummary.buildIssueFormFields() + a new GitHubIssueLinkBuilder.build(baseUrl, template, title, fields) overload build a template=+per-field-ID query, landing the summary in that form's real "Terasology Version"/"Operating System"/"Java Version"/"What actually happened"/"Log details"/"Additional Infos" fields instead of overwriting the whole issue.
• Apps without a configured template (cr-destsol, standalone cr-core) keep the original generic buildTitle()/buildBody() title+body fallback unchanged - the field IDs a configured template targets are inherently tied to whichever form that specific downstream repo defines, so this can never be cr-core's unconditional default.

Both CrashSummary and GitHubIssueLinkBuilder are plain, dependency-free classes with no Swing dependency, so they're covered directly by unit tests without a headless UI harness.

Second fix from #53 (item 3 of 5); log tab ordering, the dead forum link, and the Discord invite are still open follow-ups.

Update: URL was breaking, added a real fix + a real alternative

Bug: big crash, big URL. GitHub kills the whole thing past 8191 bytes, not just the long field. Whole submission failed.

Fix 1 - make the link always work: GitHubIssueLinkBuilder now counts bytes as it builds the URL. Goes over budget, it cuts the text and adds "truncated, see the full log" instead of sending a dead link.

Fix 2 - skip the URL entirely: added a second button, "Submit issue directly". No URL, no limit:

• Log in to GitHub (Device Flow - you get a code, type it on github.com, no password touches this app).
• Review/edit title and body (same as before - nothing posts without you clicking submit).
• Sends straight to GitHub's API as a POST body. No length cap at all.

One thing worth knowing: the login's client_id is public, not a secret - it's right there in this diff. That's normal for this kind of flow (same as gh CLI, docker login), but it does mean someone could copy that ID into a fake tool and phish a user with a fake code. GitHub's consent screen still names the real app, so it's not silent/invisible, just not airtight.

Needs a GitHub OAuth App registered with Device Flow on (one-time, web-UI-only step, can't be done via API) - done: REPORT_ISSUE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID is set for Terasology, button is live.

Test plan

• CrashSummaryTest - version/display-version extraction, module dedup, graceful fallback, title formatting, exception blocks (full trace + context lines) for both the triggering exception and others found in other tabs, PasteBin link handling, and buildIssueFormFields()'s per-field extraction/omission.
• GitHubIssueLinkBuilderTest - query-param encoding, null when REPORT_ISSUE_LINK isn't configured, the template+fields overload's query building and its omission of empty fields, plus new tests for the byte-budget truncation (stays under 8191, never splits a %XX escape).
• GitHubDeviceLoginTest / GitHubIssueApiClientTest - form-body parsing, poll retry/error handling, JSON request/response, owner/repo parsing. Mocked HTTP layer, no real network calls.
• ./gradlew build - clean.
• Manually verified live: clicked "File an issue on GitHub" in the running dialog - the crash summary landed in the real crash-bug-report.yml form fields (Terasology Version, Operating System, Java Version, What actually happened, etc.), not a blank/fallback issue.
• client_id verified against GitHub's device/code endpoint before committing - got a real device_code back, not invalid_client.

Related

• Third item toward Reporter dialog: log tab order, PasteBin only uploads one log, dead/blank report links #53.
• Includes what was previously fix(reporter): list exceptions from every log tab in the issue body #67 (multi-tab exception listing), folded in here.
• feat(templates): convert crash-bug-report.md to an issue form Terasology#5390 (the issue-form conversion this depends on for cr-terasology).

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d3c9e

The change adds crash summaries, bounded prefilled issue links and optional direct GitHub submission. No blocking risk is identified from the supplied evidence.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d3c9e

The browser-reporting path can restore exception details that a user removed from the displayed logs and send them to GitHub before review. Direct submission provides editable content and explicit confirmation, but the installed application's effective permissions remain unverified.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: The new browser-prefill path does not treat user-edited logs as the authoritative disclosure boundary. The original exception message always contributes to the title, and removing or changing its logged header causes the original exception trace to be restored. If those values contain private data, clicking the report action transmits it in the GitHub URL before the user can review the issue form. This export did not exist in the base report action.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated disclosure scope is the crash data included in an individual user-initiated report. Direct creation targets the configured repository under the authorizing user's token. A broader repository or organization authority ceiling cannot be established without live application grants and installation state.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — If an exception contains private values, editing those values out of the log tabs does not necessarily remove them from the generated title or fallback trace. The browser route then exports them through URL parameters before issue-form review. No actual sensitive value or remotely reachable exploitation path was demonstrated.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — OAuth requests use fixed HTTPS GitHub endpoints, and issue creation sends the token in a Bearer header to the fixed GitHub API host. Normal direct submission requires authorization followed by review and explicit submission. The verification URI is received from GitHub and opened without an additional local origin check; this alone does not establish attacker control.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Disposal interrupts login and submission workers, and terminal success/failure handlers suppress UI actions after disposal. Login callbacks lack equivalent disposal guards, and disposal does not clear the in-memory token field. An accepted POST may still create an issue after closure, but authorization completion alone does not invoke issue creation.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Use one user-approved disclosure representation for every reporting route, including exception-derived titles and fallback traces. Preview and approve browser-prefill content locally before navigation so editing the GitHub form is not the first opportunity to remove private data.
• proposed — Represent cancellation and submission completion explicitly, guard late authorization callbacks, discard credential references at terminal states, and distinguish uncertain remote publication from definite failure. Verify least-privilege GitHub App grants and repository installation before rollout.

Rather than inventing a new template, can you use the existing one at https://github.com/MovingBlocks/Terasology/blob/develop/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/crash-bug-report.md instead?

If we convert that template into an issue form, then we might be able to do even better and just pre-populate certain fields (see https://docs.github.com/en/issues/tracking-your-work-with-issues/using-issues/creating-an-issue#creating-an-issue-from-a-url-query).

[soloturn]

Good idea - opened MovingBlocks/Terasology#5390 converting crash-bug-report.md to an issue form (same sections/fields, individually addressable by ID). Once that's in, I'll rework this PR's CrashSummary to pre-fill it via the field-ID query params instead of the custom body it builds now.

[BenjaminAmos]

I have tried to test this but unfortunately it does not work. GitHub refuses to accept the form submission because the new issue URL produced is far too long after query parameters are added.

[soloturn]

Pushed a fix: the builder now budgets the whole URL to GitHub's 8191-byte limit (github/docs#5136), truncating or dropping fields instead of overflowing it. Please re-test.

[soloturn]

Added a real alternative: GitHub's OAuth Device Flow (no client secret) + the REST API to submit issues directly, no URL length limit at all. New button only shows up once REPORT_ISSUE_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID is set - needs a maintainer to register an OAuth App at github.com/settings/developers with Device Flow enabled and put its client ID in cr-terasology's crashreporter.properties; I can't do that step myself. Until then it's a no-op addition, existing prefill-link flow unchanged.

[soloturn]

OAuth App registered and wired in - "Submit issue directly" button is now live for Terasology. client_id verified against GitHub's device/code endpoint before committing (got a real device_code back, not invalid_client).

Agent-authored comment — @Cervator via GDD.

Read the branch in full against master. The issue-form dependency is settled: MovingBlocks/Terasology#5390 merged on 2026-08-22 and its field IDs match. Three commits pushed on top of yours, in the spirit of the earlier rounds:

• Lockfiles. Master locks dependencies since build: add nebula.release versioning and dependency locking #68, so org.json had to enter the lock state or the merged build fails the way PR-68 Translate into Polish #7 did.
• Review fixes. fitToBudget dropped one character and re-encoded the whole body per iteration on the Swing thread, so a large crash froze the dialog; it binary-searches the cut now and keeps surrogate pairs intact. Cancel in GitHubLoginDialog only disposed, leaving the poller hitting the token endpoint until the code expired; dispose() interrupts it. Both worker threads caught only IOException, so a rate-limited or HTML response killed the thread with the dialog stuck on "Requesting…"; requestDeviceCode and createIssue now report those as IOException, and the workers catch RuntimeException too. The trace regex stopped at ... N more, dropping every later Caused by:. parseOwnerRepo accepts a bare repo link. Tests for each.
• Profile. cr-core is shared with Destination Sol, whose reports would have read "Terasology version: unknown" and "Active modules: none found in logs". CrashSummary.Profile now carries the product name, the version/module regexes and the issue-form field IDs from crashreporter.properties; cr-terasology declares the Terasology values, cr-destsol a product name, cr-core's defaults none. A bare core degrades to exceptions, OS and Java.

Two things only you and the maintainers can settle:

1. OAuth scope. GitHubDeviceLogin requests public_repo, which grants write access to every public repository the reporter owns and persists until revoked by hand. For "file one issue" that is a lot to ask of a player, and an OAuth App has no narrower scope; a GitHub App with issues: write on the one repo would. Also worth confirming the client ID is registered under the MovingBlocks org rather than a personal account.
2. One PR or two. The pre-fill is self-contained and, with the above, mergeable. Direct submit carries the scope decision. Splitting it would let the pre-fill land now; keeping it together means the whole PR waits on (1).

Java 8 compatibility of the main sources is fine; only tests use String.repeat.

Agent-authored comment — @soloturn via GDD.

@Cervator , lets use a registered app please.

1. CrashReporter asks GitHub for login with scope public_repo. A fake copy of CrashReporter can ask for the exact same scope. GitHub then shows this message:

Terasology Crash Reporter by MovingBlocks wants to access your account.
This app would like permission to:
Read and write access to code, commit statuses, repository projects, collaborators, and deployment statuses for public repositories.
Authorize MovingBlocks

With a registered GitHub App limited to terasology with issues permission only, GitHub would instead show this message:

Terasology Crash Reporter by MovingBlocks wants to access your account.
Repository access: Only select repositories: Terasology
Repository permissions: Issues: Read and write
Authorize MovingBlocks

2. The gamer sees this message before approving. The gamer must pay attention to this message to notice the difference.

3. The gamer clicks approve.

4. GitHub gives a token matching the message that was approved. Whoever holds this token can act as the gamer on GitHub. With the first message a fake app holding this token can change or delete code on any public repo the gamer owns. With the second message a fake app holding this token can only create issues on terasology.

5. GitHub also has a setting called token expiration. Turning it on does not help against a fake app. It only changes what our own honest app does with its own copy of the access. A fake app runs its own code and keeps using whatever GitHub gave it, refreshing it forever if it wants, no matter what our own code does. The only real ways to reduce damage after the gamer approves once are keeping the access small, like the registered GitHub App in point 1, and the gamer or repo owner noticing something wrong and revoking the access by hand.

Agent-authored comment — @Cervator via GDD.

Two commits pushed since the last note.

Review round 1. All ten findings from CodeRabbit and Copilot were checked against the code and addressed: small form fields are reserved before a long trace is fitted and the body leads with the log link, so truncation cannot drop the pointer to the full log; the dialog disposes on window close, tracks the submit thread, and ignores callbacks after it closes; submission has its own failure message; a token reply with neither token nor error stops the poll; Suppressed: sections and same-header failures are kept; a configured regex without a capture group is rejected; title truncation respects surrogate pairs; tests use Guava's repeat. Tests added for each behavioural change.

GitHub App instead of the OAuth App. This settles the scope question from the earlier note. The reporter now authorizes through a GitHub App registered under MovingBlocks with only "Issues: read and write", installed on Terasology. A player's token is limited to what the app may do, on that repository, and to what the player could already do there, which is open an issue. No scope is sent and no secret or private key is involved. The client ID was checked against the device-code endpoint.

@soloturn two things for you: the earlier OAuth App (Ov23li…) can be deleted, and the direct-submit path wants one manual run from inside Terasology, since cr-core's interactive test has no client ID and hides that button.
