Fixes #1595

Summary

GET /api/offers was returning a JSON body with Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8 because new Response(JSON.stringify(offers)) does not set a content type. This is the only public API route in packages/web/src/app/api/(server)/ that uses new Response(JSON.stringify(...)) without setting Content-Type; every other public JSON route uses Response.json(...) or sets the header explicitly. The OpenAPI spec for this endpoint already declares the response as application/json, so the actual response was violating the documented contract.

Why this matters

Strict API clients (CLI tools, OpenAPI-generated SDKs, third-party integrations) inspect Content-Type before parsing. A client that sees text/plain;charset=UTF-8 will refuse to parse the body even though it is valid JSON. The in-app getOffers client happens to parse regardless of Content-Type because response.json() ignores it, but that is a coincidence of the Web fetch API, not because the response is correct.

Changes

  • packages/web/src/app/api/(server)/offers/route.ts — add 'Content-Type': 'application/json' to the response headers. One-line change, body unchanged.
  • packages/web/src/app/api/(server)/offers/route.test.ts — new file, 3 vitest cases that pin down the three observable invariants of this route: status 200 with the mocked body, Content-Type: application/json, and the existing Cache-Control: public, max-age=300 header preserved. The OTel suite-load error and the posthog import are mocked the same way other tests in this repo handle them.

Validation

  • New tests: 3/3 pass on the new file alone.
  • yarn workspace @sourcebot/web test --run returns 1157/1157 tests pass (3 more than the prior baseline of 1154 — the 3 new tests in this PR). The 7 pre-existing @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base suite-load failures in ee/askmcp/... and ee/permissionSyncStatus/... are unchanged and not introduced by this PR.
  • git diff --check clean.
  • Manually verified in Node.js: new Response(JSON.stringify({a:1})) returns Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8; Response.json({a:1}) returns Content-Type: application/json. Same engines, same behavior at the route layer.
  • No OpenAPI, no docs change needed. The spec already declares application/json; this change makes the actual response match it.

Test plan

  • yarn workspace @sourcebot/web test --run src/app/api/(server)/offers/route.test.ts (3 cases, all pass).
  • yarn workspace @sourcebot/web test --run (full suite, 1157/1157 pass with the same 7 pre-existing OTel suite-load failures as before this PR).

Risks

None. The body is unchanged; only the response header is corrected. Clients that were already parsing by sniffing or by response.json() are unaffected. Strict clients that were rejecting the response start working.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Offers API responses now explicitly identify their content as JSON, improving compatibility with clients.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage verifying offer responses, content type, and five-minute caching behavior.

The GET /api/offers route at packages/web/src/app/api/(server)/offers/route.ts returned a JSON body but the response was served with Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8 because new Response(JSON.stringify(offers)) does not set a content type. Node.js / Next.js default the content type to text/plain for a string body, even when the body is JSON.

This is the only public API route in packages/web/src/app/api/(server)/ that uses new Response(JSON.stringify(...)) without setting Content-Type. Every other public JSON route — /api/health, /api/version, /api/blame, /api/source, /api/connections, /api/ee/audit, /api/ee/scoped_access_token — uses Response.json(...) or sets the header explicitly. The OpenAPI spec for /api/offers already declares the response as application/json, so the actual response was violating the documented contract.

Strict API clients (CLI tools, OpenAPI-generated SDKs, third-party integrations) inspect Content-Type before parsing. A client that sees text/plain;charset=UTF-8 will refuse to parse the body even though it is valid JSON. The in-app getOffers client happens to work because response.json() ignores Content-Type, but that is a coincidence of the Web fetch API, not because the response is correct.

Fix: add 'Content-Type': 'application/json' to the response headers. One-line change, body unchanged, no client broken.

Also added route.test.ts with 3 vitest cases (status 200 + JSON body, Content-Type: application/json, Cache-Control header preserved). The OTel suite-load error and posthog import are mocked the same way other tests in this repo handle them.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The GET /api/offers route now returns an explicit application/json content type. Tests cover the response payload, status, content type, and existing five-minute cache header.

Changes

Offers API

Layer / File(s) Summary
Offers response contract
packages/web/src/app/api/(server)/offers/route.ts, packages/web/src/app/api/(server)/offers/route.test.ts
The route sets Content-Type: application/json and retains Cache-Control: public, max-age=300. Tests verify the response status, offers payload, JSON content type, and cache header.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 110f6

The endpoint now returns the documented application/json media type without changing its body or cache policy. The PR is mergeable with owner follow-up to tighten the permissive header assertions; no concrete production behavior issue is indicated.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert the complete header contract.

toContain("application/json") also accepts invalid values such as application/jsonp. The cache assertions also permit extra directives that change cache behavior. Assert the media type exactly, allowing an optional charset, and assert the expected cache policy.

Proposed test update
-        // Next.js / Web Headers are case-insensitive, but be defensive
-        const contentType = response.headers.get("Content-Type") ?? response.headers.get("content-type") ?? "";
-        expect(contentType).toContain("application/json");
+        const contentType = response.headers.get("Content-Type") ?? "";
+        expect(contentType.split(";", 1)[0]?.trim()).toBe("application/json");
...
-        const cacheControl = response.headers.get("Cache-Control") ?? "";
-        expect(cacheControl).toContain("public");
-        expect(cacheControl).toContain("max-age=300");
+        expect(response.headers.get("Cache-Control")).toBe("public, max-age=300");
