feat(core): carry structured exception detail on ExecutionResult - #907
Conversation
ExecutionResult.exception is serialized as str(e), which collapses the error to whichever single message the server's ErrorConfig mode baked in and drops the concrete type and the retry/notify flags. Every remote failure therefore rehydrates as a bare NotteBaseError, forcing the SDK to reconstruct meaning by matching known generic message strings. Add an additive exception_detail field carrying the error type, the three per-audience messages and both flags, and rehydrate the concrete NotteBaseError subclass from it on validation. Old servers never send the field and old clients ignore it, so the wire stays compatible in both skew directions; payloads without it keep today's behavior.

Reject exception_detail for successful results.
When success=True, this validator returns before checking exception_detail. model_post_init rejects only exception, so a payload with success=True, exception=None, and populated exception_detail is accepted and can serialize contradictory success and failure state.
Extend the success invariant to reject a non-None exception_detail. Add a matching test.
Proposed fix
def model_post_init(self, context: Any, /) -> None:
if self.success:
- if self.exception is not None:
+ if self.exception is not None or self.exception_detail is not None:

### Issue 1
packages/notte-core/src/notte_core/browser/observation.py:373-377
**Registry drops first-party error types**
When a remote execution returns a browser or agent error such as `InvalidLocatorRuntimeError` or `MaxStepsReachedError`, this registry does not load its defining module and falls back to `NotteBaseError`, causing client-side handlers for the concrete exception type not to match.

The rehydration registry only imported notte-core's own error modules, so a server-raised InvalidLocatorRuntimeError or MaxStepsReachedError fell back to the base class unless the client process happened to have imported its defining module - breaking hierarchy handlers like 'except BrowserError' for concrete subclasses the caller never imported directly. Import the notte-browser/notte-agent/notte-sdk error modules too, guarded, since SDK-only installs do not ship them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

… failures (#72) * feat(page): print the eval-js value bare and use exception_detail for failures eval-js printed "Successfully executed action: evaluate_js" followed by "Result: <value>", so the evaluated value could not be piped without post-processing, and a legitimately empty value vanished entirely (the Result line was skipped when markdown was empty). The value now prints alone on stdout with the status line on stderr; -o json is unchanged. Failures across every page command now prefer the structured exception_detail (nottelabs/notte#907) over the legacy `exception` string. That string is rendered in whatever ErrorConfig mode the server ran in, which for the API is "user" - so a failed action reported "Sorry, this action cannot be executed at the moment." instead of the JavaScript error. The shared helper reports the concrete error type and the developer message, falling back to the legacy string for API builds that predate the field. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test(integration): cover the eval-js shell contract end to end Exercises the two shapes the docs promise - title=$(notte page eval-js "document.title") capturing the value alone, and piping JSON.stringify(...) output into a JSON parser - plus a JS null arriving as "null" rather than empty, -o json still emitting the envelope, and a failing script exiting non-zero with the actual JavaScript error instead of the generic user-facing sentence. The shared harness prepends `-o json`, so these use a text-mode runner: the point is what a shell sees without --output json. Note the filename: page_eval_js_test.go would end in _js, which Go reads as the js/wasm GOOS suffix and silently excludes from every other platform's build.

Why
ExecutionResult.exceptioncrosses the wire asstr(e), which collapses the error to whichever single message the server'sErrorConfigmode baked in and drops the concrete type and theshould_retry_later/should_notify_teamflags. Every remote failure therefore rehydrates client-side as a bareNotteBaseErrorwith a possibly generic user-safe string — which is what forced the message-sniffing workaround in #905's SDK changes (_GENERIC_UNEXPECTED_MESSAGES/_is_generic_error_message), and whyexcept ActionExecutionErrorcan never match on aRemoteSession.This came out of the review discussion on #905: the reason-loss is unfixable at the SDK layer by construction, so this fixes it at the serialization layer instead, generally, for every error class.
What
SerializedErrormodel:{error_type, dev_message, user_message, agent_message, should_retry_later, should_notify_team}.ExecutionResult.exception_detailfield, auto-populated fromexceptionon construction (so local results, trajectory entries, and serialized payloads all carry it).exception_detailis present, the concreteNotteBaseErrorsubclass is rehydrated from it (registry = theNotteBaseErrorsubclass tree; unknown/external types fall back to the base class with messages and flags intact).Wire compatibility
Additive in both skew directions:
exception_detailin the payload → exact current behavior (string → bareNotteBaseError), pinned by test.Note on
dev_message: sending it to clients is no worse than today — the server's defaultErrorConfigmode isDEVELOPER, sostr(e)already serializes the dev message.Follow-up (after the API deploys this)
The SDK's generic-message matching in
endpoints/sessions.py(added in #905) can be deleted and the remote raise gate collapses toraise result.exception, making local and remote sessions raise the same typed errors.Tests
tests/test_execution_result_serialization.py: round-trip of type/messages/flags, legacy payload without the field, detail-only payload, unknown-type fallback, plain-exception handling, and the success/exception invariant.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
