still no information for debugging


① On-Demand Stack Trace Retrieval

Instead of sending the full stack trace to the UI immediately, store it in your heartbeatManager and let the UI request it:

data class HeartbeatEntry(
    val summary: String,       // short message
    val fullError: String?,    // full stack trace (optional)
    val timestamp: Long
)

// Recording an exception
val fullError = e.stackTrace.joinToString("\n")
heartbeatManager.recordHeartbeat(
    success = false,
    error = "${e::class.simpleName}: ${e.message ?: "no message"}",
    fullError = fullError
)

UI can now:

  • Show only the summary by default.
  • Include a “Show More” button or clickable area to fetch fullError.

② Toggle/Expandable UI

You already have an expandable heartbeat section. You can extend it to request more info on demand:

var expanded by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
var showFullStack by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }

Column {
    Text(
        text = if (expanded) entry.summary else entry.summary.take(80) + "...",
        modifier = Modifier.clickable { expanded = !expanded }
    )

    if (expanded) {
        Button(onClick = { showFullStack = !showFullStack }) {
            Text(if (showFullStack) "Hide Stack" else "Show Stack")
        }
        if (showFullStack) {
            Text(entry.fullError ?: "No additional info")
        }
    }
}

Benefits:

  • Keeps UI compact.
  • Lets devs request stack traces only if needed.
  • Avoids overwhelming end users with too much debug info.

③ Remote/Advanced Debug Request

For more complex apps (like chatbots), you could:

  1. Send a debug request to the backend/service (like /heartbeat/details?id=123) to retrieve logs on demand.
  2. Use a toggle in settings to turn on verbose heartbeat logging.
  3. Optionally, store last N heartbeat entries with full stack traces for later inspection.

✅ Recommendation

  • Summary + optional full error is usually sufficient.
  • Use a clickable expand/“Show Stack” UI pattern.
  • Keep logs locally or in memory to avoid exposing sensitive info automatically.
