Screenshots

Notes for reviewers

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • The network inspector now offers a status selector with named HTTP status options, including None. You can also type a code; statuses outside the supported list are rejected with a helpful hint.
  • Mock responses with no status use 200 by default.
• Documentation
  • Updated HTTP fault-injection guidance with clearer status examples and details about None and unsupported stored statuses.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The network inspector replaces its numeric status input with predefined HTTP status choices. Shared status validation now governs draft creation and rule sanitization. Tests, documentation, and extension bundle references are updated.

Changes

Network inspector status selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared status catalog and rule sanitization packages/ng-devtools/src/config.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/http-rules.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/http.test.ts	A shared list defines accepted HTTP status codes and their labels. sanitizeRules uses the shared validator. Tests cover accepted and rejected statuses, including the body-only default of 200.
Inspector status selection and supporting updates app/src/pages/network-inspector.ts, app/src/__tests__/network-rule-status.test.ts, packages/ng-devtools/src/__tests__/network-inspector.test.ts, apps/docs/src/content/guides/ssr-http.md, apps/docs/src/content/inspectors/ssr-http.md, extension/ui/index.html, extension/ui/assets/browser-agent-rpc-*.js	The inspector uses a selector populated from the shared status list and rejects unlisted draft statuses. Tests cover selection and validation. Documentation describes the status choices, and extension bundle references use the updated JavaScript bundle name.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested labels: enhancement

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 97a7d

The status selector now offers only listed HTTP statuses, and the same list is enforced when rules are saved. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 97a7d

The supported status choices become narrower, but the traced rule-writing permissions and development-only interception remain intact. Existing rules using an omitted status can change behavior, including returning 200 when they contain a body.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The traced effect remains HTTP mocking in the configured development client or server runtime. Its reach follows existing rule targets, methods, and URL patterns, potentially covering every matching request in that runtime. Tenant isolation and deployed identity boundaries were not established by this inspection.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The inspector's HTTP write eligibility remains separate from status validation. The receiving RPC handler independently checks the HTTP action setting and sanitizes incoming rules, so modifying a draft or supplying an RPC payload does not make UI validation the sole control.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The UI assigns returned rules after a successful RPC resolution and reports caught failures without replacing its local list. Add, toggle, and removal retain whole-list replacement. These paths do not establish transactional persistence or ordering guarantees for overlapping writes; that mutation model predates the status-policy change.

Thanks, a list of real statuses is much nicer than a free number field. A few things:

1. CodeRabbit's point stands: draftRule() doesn't check the status anymore, so a value from setDraft() or a stored rule (like 599) still gets through. Could it refuse anything that isn't in HTTP_STATUS_OPTIONS?
2. Could we drop the 1xx ones? A mocked 100 Continue or 101 Switching Protocols doesn't make sense as an HttpClient response.
3. With a fixed list there's no way to mock codes like 499 (nginx) or 520 to 524 (Cloudflare) anymore, which do show up in production. Maybe a "Custom…" option, or just add those few?
4. The status validation test was removed and the others set the status through setDraft(). Could you add one that picks an option in the dropdown, and one that checks an invalid status is refused?
5. The build-extensions.spec.ts change looks unrelated, could it go in its own PR?

I'll take another look after that.
