  • Bearer tokens: bearer xyz123... → bearer [TOKEN]

DoS Protection

  • Callback timeouts: 1 second execution limit
  • Entry limits: Max 50 debug entries
  • Memory bounds: Oldest entries removed automatically
  • Input validation: Type checking on all inputs

XSS Protection

  • HTML escaping: All user data escaped via DOM-based method
  • No innerHTML injection: Only escaped content inserted

  3. Verify settings modal loads: Click ⚙️ icon
  4. Verify checkbox exists: Search for "Enable LLM Request/Response"
  5. Check script paths: View page source, verify ../shared/ paths

Logs not appearing

  1. Verify debug mode is enabled (checkbox checked)
  2. Make an LLM request (submit analysis)
  3. Check console for "🐛 API Client Debug Mode: ON"
  4. Verify backend is responding: curl http://localhost:8000/health

API not working

  1. Check backend status: systemctl status truthforge-backend
  2. Check backend logs: journalctl -u truthforge-backend -f
  3. Verify port 8090: curl http://localhost:8090/api/health
  4. Check Caddy logs: tail -f /home/alex/caddy_terraphim/log/truthforge-alpha.log

  5. Configuration presets: Save/load model configurations

Monitoring

# Watch production logs
tail -f /home/alex/caddy_terraphim/log/truthforge-alpha.log

# Watch backend logs
journalctl -u truthforge-backend -f

# Check for debug-related errors
grep -i "debug\|error" /home/alex/caddy_terraphim/log/truthforge-alpha.log

Technical Details

Architecture

User enables debug checkbox in settings
        ↓
Settings Manager emits 'debugModeChanged' event
        ↓
App.setupDebugMode() listener receives event
        ↓
┌───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Show/hide debug panel              │
│ 2. Call apiClient.setDebugMode(true) │
│ 3. Connect logs to panel              │
└───────────────────────────────────────┘
        ↓
API Client wraps chatCompletion() method
        ↓
Before request: logDebug('request', {...})
After response: logDebug('response', {...})
        ↓
logDebug() sanitizes data, logs to console
        ↓
logDebug() calls registered callbacks
        ↓
Callback adds entry to DebugPanel
        ↓
User sees log in UI panel at bottom

Event Flow

// Settings change
settingsManager.updateSettings({ enableDebugMode: true })
  → emit('settingChanged', ...)
  → emit('settingsUpdated', ...)
  → emit('debugModeChanged', true)

// App receives event
setupDebugMode() listener
  → setDebugPanelVisibility(true)
  → apiClient.setDebugMode(true)

// API call triggers logging
apiClient.chatCompletion(...)
  → logDebug('request', {...})
    → console.group(...)
    → debugCallbacks.forEach(cb => cb(entry))
      → debugPanel.addEntry(entry)
        → render()

Data Sanitization Pipeline

User input (may contain PII)
  ↓
sanitizeForLogging(text)
  ↓
Regex replacements:
  - /[\w.-]+@[\w.-]+\.\w+/g → '[EMAIL]'
  - /\b(sk|api|token|key)[-_]?[\w]{20,}/gi → '[KEY]'
  - /password[:\s=]+\S+/gi → 'password:[REDACTED]'
  - /bearer\s+[\w.-]{20,}/gi → 'bearer [TOKEN]'
  ↓
Sanitized text (safe for logging)
  ↓
escapeHtml(sanitized)
  ↓
XSS-safe HTML output
