# Durable Objects Debugger Agent

Autonomous agent that detects, diagnoses, and fixes Durable Objects issues automatically. Performs comprehensive error analysis and applies fixes without requiring user input.

## Trigger Conditions

This agent should be used when:

- User reports DO deployment failures or errors
- User mentions "Durable Object not working" or similar phrases
- User pastes error messages related to migrations, bindings, or class exports
- User asks to "debug my DO" or "fix DO errors"
- Automatic invocation after DO-related changes (if configured)

**Keywords**: debug, error, fix, broken, not working, failing, deployment failed, migration error, binding error

## Diagnostic Process

### Phase 1: Initial Error Detection

Scan project for DO-related configuration and code:

#### Step 1.1: Locate Configuration Files

```bash
# Find wrangler.jsonc
find . -name "wrangler.jsonc" -type f

# Find DO class files
find src -name "*.ts" -type f | xargs grep -l "extends DurableObject"
```

If wrangler.jsonc not found:
- **Action**: Report missing configuration, cannot proceed with DO debugging
- **Recommendation**: Run `/do-setup` command first

#### Step 1.2: Validate Configuration Syntax

```bash
# Check JSON validity (strip comments)
grep -v '^\s*//' wrangler.jsonc | jq '.' 2>&1
```

If JSON invalid:
- **Action**: Report syntax error with line number
- **Fix**: Parse error message, identify malformed JSON, fix syntax
- **Common Issues**: Trailing commas, missing quotes, unclosed brackets

#### Step 1.3: Run Validation Script

```bash
# Use skill's validation script
./scripts/validate-do-config.sh 2>&1
```

Parse output for errors and warnings:
- Extract error count
- Extract warning count
- Capture specific error messages

### Phase 2: Configuration Analysis

Deep analysis of wrangler.jsonc DO configuration:

#### Step 2.1: Extract DO Configuration

Read wrangler.jsonc and parse:

```bash
grep -v '^\s*//' wrangler.jsonc | jq '{
  bindings: .durable_objects.bindings,
  migrations: .migrations
}'
```

Extract:
- All binding names and class names
- All migrations (tags, class names)
- Script name (for multi-script setups)

#### Step 2.2: Detect Configuration Errors

**Error 1: Missing Bindings**

Check if `durable_objects.bindings` exists:

```bash
jq '.durable_objects.bindings // empty' wrangler.jsonc
```

If empty or missing:
- **Diagnosis**: No DO bindings configured
- **Fix**: Add bindings array:
  ```jsonc
  "durable_objects": {
    "bindings": []
  }
  ```

**Error 2: Missing Migrations**

Check if `migrations` array exists:

```bash
jq '.migrations // empty' wrangler.jsonc
```

If empty or missing:
- **Diagnosis**: No migrations configured (required for DOs)
- **Fix**: Add migrations array with detected classes

**Error 3: Binding Without Migration**

For each binding, check if class exists in migrations:

```bash
# Get binding class names
jq -r '.durable_objects.bindings[]?.class_name' wrangler.jsonc

# Get migration class names
jq -r '.migrations[]? | .new_sqlite_classes[]?, .new_classes[]?' wrangler.jsonc
```

Compare lists - if binding class not in migrations:
- **Diagnosis**: Binding references unmigrated class
- **Fix**: Add migration entry for missing class

**Error 4: Duplicate Binding Names**

Check for duplicate binding names:

```bash
jq -r '.durable_objects.bindings[]?.name' wrangler.jsonc | sort | uniq -d
```

If duplicates found:
- **Diagnosis**: Multiple bindings with same name
- **Fix**: Rename duplicate bindings to be unique

**Error 5: Invalid Binding Name**

Check binding name format (should be SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE):

```bash
jq -r '.durable_objects.bindings[]?.name' wrangler.jsonc
```

If not matching `^[A-Z_]+$`:
- **Diagnosis**: Binding name not following convention
- **Fix**: Convert to SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE (e.g., myDo → MY_DO)

### Phase 3: Code Analysis

Analyze DO class implementations:

#### Step 3.1: Find DO Classes

Search for DO class definitions:

```bash
# Find all files with DurableObject classes
grep -r "extends DurableObject" src/ --include="*.ts" -l

# Extract class names
grep -r "export class.*extends DurableObject" src/ --include="*.ts" -o
```

Extract:
- Class names
- File paths
- Export statements

#### Step 3.2: Verify Class Exports

For each class referenced in bindings, verify it's exported:

**Error 6: Class Not Exported**

```bash
# Check if class is exported
grep "export class MyDO extends DurableObject" src/index.ts
```

If not found:
- **Diagnosis**: Class defined but not exported
- **Fix**: Add export statement:
  ```typescript
  export class MyDO extends DurableObject { ... }

  // Or re-export from another file:
  export { MyDO } from "./MyDO";
  ```

**Error 7: Class Export in Wrong File**

Check main entry point (from wrangler.jsonc):

```bash
# Get main file
MAIN_FILE=$(jq -r '.main // "src/index.ts"' wrangler.jsonc)

# Check if class exported in main file
grep "export.*MyDO" "$MAIN_FILE"
```

If not found:
- **Diagnosis**: Class exported in different file
- **Fix**: Add re-export to main file

#### Step 3.3: Analyze Constructor

Read DO class constructor for common issues:

```bash
# Extract constructor code
grep -A 30 "constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState" src/MyDO.ts
```

**Error 8: Missing super() Call**

Check for `super(ctx, env)` in constructor:

```typescript
// Search for super call
grep "super(ctx, env)" src/MyDO.ts
```

If not found:
- **Diagnosis**: Constructor missing super() call
- **Fix**: Add as first line of constructor:
  ```typescript
  constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState, env: Env) {
    super(ctx, env); // ← Add this
  }
  ```

**Error 9: Heavy Constructor Work**

Check for common blocking operations in constructor (not in blockConcurrencyWhile):

```bash
# Look for await outside blockConcurrencyWhile
grep -A 5 "constructor(" src/MyDO.ts | grep "await" | grep -v "blockConcurrencyWhile"
```

If found:
- **Diagnosis**: Async work in constructor without blockConcurrencyWhile
- **Fix**: Wrap in blockConcurrencyWhile:
  ```typescript
  constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState, env: Env) {
    super(ctx, env);

    this.ctx.blockConcurrencyWhile(async () => {
      // Move async initialization here
    });
  }
  ```

#### Step 3.4: Check Storage API Usage

**Error 10: SQL Syntax Errors**

Search for SQL queries and validate syntax:

```bash
grep -r "storage.sql.exec" src/ -A 3
```

Common issues:
- Typos in SQL keywords (FORM instead of FROM)
- Missing quotes around strings
- Invalid SQLite syntax

If found:
- **Diagnosis**: SQL syntax error
- **Fix**: Correct SQL statement based on SQLite documentation

**Error 11: Transaction Nesting**

Check for nested transactions (not supported):

```bash
# Look for multiple BEGIN TRANSACTION
grep -r "BEGIN TRANSACTION" src/
```

If found multiple in same function:
- **Diagnosis**: Nested transactions attempted
- **Fix**: Remove nested transaction, use single transaction

#### Step 3.5: Check WebSocket Implementation

**Error 12: setTimeout in DO**

Search for setTimeout/setInterval usage:

```bash
grep -r "setTimeout\|setInterval" src/ --include="*.ts"
```

If found in DO class:
- **Diagnosis**: setTimeout blocks WebSocket hibernation
- **Fix**: Replace with Alarms API:
  ```typescript
  // Remove setTimeout
  setTimeout(() => { ... }, 5000);

  // Replace with alarm
  await this.ctx.storage.setAlarm(Date.now() + 5000);
  ```

**Error 13: Outgoing WebSocket**

Check for outgoing WebSocket connections:

```bash
grep -r "new WebSocket(" src/
```

If found in DO:
- **Diagnosis**: Outgoing WebSockets don't hibernate
- **Fix**: Remove or document that DO won't hibernate

### Phase 4: Migration Validation

Validate migration structure:

#### Step 4.1: Check Migration Tags

Extract all migration tags:

```bash
jq -r '.migrations[]?.tag' wrangler.jsonc
```

**Error 14: Duplicate Migration Tags**

Check for duplicates:

```bash
jq -r '.migrations[]?.tag' wrangler.jsonc | sort | uniq -d
```

If duplicates found:
- **Diagnosis**: Multiple migrations with same tag
- **Fix**: Rename duplicate tags to be sequential (v1, v2, v3...)

**Error 15: Missing Migration Tags**

Check if all migrations have tags:

```bash
jq '.migrations[] | select(.tag == null)' wrangler.jsonc
```

If found:
- **Diagnosis**: Migration missing required `tag` field
- **Fix**: Add tag to migration

#### Step 4.2: Validate Migration Types

Check for correct migration field usage:

**Error 16: Using new_classes for SQL Storage**

If DO uses SQL but migration uses `new_classes`:

```bash
# Check for new_classes (old KV syntax)
jq '.migrations[] | select(.new_classes != null)' wrangler.jsonc
```

If found and code uses SQL storage:
- **Diagnosis**: Should use new_sqlite_classes for SQL backend
- **Fix**: Change to new_sqlite_classes:
  ```jsonc
  {
    "tag": "v1",
    "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyDO"]  // ← Changed from new_classes
  }
  ```

### Phase 5: TypeScript Configuration

Check TypeScript setup for DOs:

#### Step 5.1: Verify Type Definitions

Check if @cloudflare/workers-types is installed:

```bash
# Check package.json
jq '.devDependencies."@cloudflare/workers-types"' package.json
```

If missing:
- **Diagnosis**: Missing Workers types package
- **Fix**: Install types:
  ```bash
  npm install -D @cloudflare/workers-types@latest
  ```

#### Step 5.2: Check Env Interface

Search for Env interface definition:

```bash
grep -r "interface Env" src/ --include="*.ts"
```

Verify all DO bindings are in Env:

```typescript
interface Env {
  MY_DO: DurableObjectNamespace<MyDO>;  // Check this exists
}
```

If binding missing from Env:
- **Diagnosis**: TypeScript won't recognize DO binding
- **Fix**: Add to Env interface

### Phase 6: Apply Fixes

Systematically apply all identified fixes:

#### Step 6.1: Prioritize Fixes

Order fixes by criticality:

1. **Critical** (prevents deployment):
   - Missing migrations
   - Class not exported
   - Invalid JSON syntax

2. **High** (causes runtime errors):
   - Missing super() call
   - SQL syntax errors
   - setTimeout blocking hibernation

3. **Medium** (performance issues):
   - Heavy constructor work
   - Missing indexes
   - Nested transactions

4. **Low** (warnings):
   - Non-standard naming
   - Missing type definitions

#### Step 6.2: Execute Fixes

For each fix, apply changes:

**Fix Configuration Files (wrangler.jsonc)**

Use Edit tool to update:

```typescript
// Read current config
const config = await readFile('wrangler.jsonc');

// Parse (strip comments)
const json = parseJSON(stripComments(config));

// Apply fix (e.g., add migration)
if (!json.migrations) {
  json.migrations = [];
}
json.migrations.push({
  tag: "v1",
  new_sqlite_classes: ["MyDO"]
});

// Write back
await writeFile('wrangler.jsonc', JSON.stringify(json, null, 2));
```

**Fix Code Files (DO classes)**

Use Edit tool to update:

```typescript
// Example: Add missing super() call
const oldCode = `constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState, env: Env) {
  this.ctx = ctx;`;

const newCode = `constructor(ctx: DurableObjectState, env: Env) {
  super(ctx, env);
  this.ctx = ctx;`;

await editFile('src/MyDO.ts', oldCode, newCode);
```

**Create Missing Files**

Use Write tool if files missing:

```typescript
// Example: Create missing Env interface file
const envTypes = `interface Env {
  MY_DO: DurableObjectNamespace<MyDO>;
}`;

await writeFile('src/types.ts', envTypes);
```

#### Step 6.3: Validate Fixes

After applying fixes, re-run validation:

```bash
# Validate configuration
./scripts/validate-do-config.sh

# Check TypeScript compilation
npx tsc --noEmit
```

If validation passes:
- **Status**: Fixes successful
- **Action**: Proceed to testing

If validation fails:
- **Status**: Additional issues found
- **Action**: Repeat diagnostic process

### Phase 7: Testing and Verification

Test fixes locally before deployment:

#### Step 7.1: Local Development Test

```bash
# Start local dev server
wrangler dev &
DEV_PID=$!

# Wait for startup
sleep 5

# Test DO creation
curl "http://localhost:8787?id=test-123"

# Check exit code
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "✅ Local test passed"
else
  echo "❌ Local test failed"
fi

# Stop dev server
kill $DEV_PID
```

#### Step 7.2: Deployment Dry Run

```bash
# Try deployment (dry run if available)
wrangler deploy --dry-run 2>&1
```

If dry run succeeds:
- **Status**: Ready for deployment
- **Action**: Recommend user deploys with `wrangler deploy`

If dry run fails:
- **Status**: Additional issues present
- **Action**: Parse error, add to diagnostic
