Handle missing extension API in load errors

[mdroidian]

Summary

• log the original runExtension lifecycle failure before attempting secondary reporting
• collect extension settings and version defensively when a loader does not supply extensionAPI
• make toast rendering and SamePage reporting best-effort so their failures do not obscure the original error

Why

An ESM extension imported from a roam/js block can call onload with an args object but without Roam's extension-scoped API. If the extension callback then rejects, the production catch path currently dereferences args.extensionAPI.settings.getAll(), replacing the original failure with a secondary TypeError.

Validation

• npx tsc --noEmit
• npm run lint (passes with one existing no-explicit-any warning in src/types/index.ts)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved error notifications when the extension fails to load.
  • Added clearer fallback messages when error reporting succeeds or fails.
  • Prevented secondary errors from disrupting failure handling.
  • Improved handling when extension settings or version information are unavailable.

• Release

  • Updated the extension to version 0.89.0.

Walkthrough

The package version changes from 0.88.4 to 0.89.0. runExtension adds a shared renderLoadFailure helper that displays guarded error toasts. Production handling now safely reads optional settings, defaults the extension version to "unknown", and logs settings access failures. Error-report success and failure paths use distinct notifications and logging.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f473b

The change improves handling when extension APIs are absent, but rejected non-Error values can still break error reporting and asynchronous toast failures can escape handling. These cases may mask the original load failure or create unhandled rejections, so follow-up is needed before merge.

Warning

There were issues while running some tools. Please review the errors and either fix the tool's configuration or disable the tool if it's a critical failure.

🔧 ESLint

If the error stems from missing dependencies, add them to the package.json file. For unrecoverable errors (e.g., due to private dependencies), disable the tool in the CodeRabbit configuration.

In `@src/util/runExtension.ts`:
- Line 145: Normalize the rejection value caught in the runExtension flow before
accessing error.message or error.stack, converting null, undefined, and other
non-Error values into a usable Error representation while preserving existing
Error details. Ensure report construction, console.error, and the fallback toast
continue to execute for all rejection values.
- Around line 22-35: Update renderLoadFailure and the renderToast flow so
asynchronous failures from MarkedReact/import("marked-react") and toaster.show
are handled through a rejection path, preserving the best-effort error logging
used for synchronous failures. Ensure renderLoadFailure awaits or otherwise
catches the returned promise so no toast-rendering rejection becomes unhandled.
