fix(dashboard): cancel obsolete API requests at the HTTP transport

[dr-hoseyn]

Summary

Pass the generated client's AbortSignal through orvalFetcher to ofetch. When a user changes search/page parameters or leaves a screen, TanStack Query already cancels the obsolete query, but the HTTP adapter previously discarded its signal and let the network request finish.

The latest active request still completes normally. This fixes the shared transport used by generated API queries with a two-line change.

Before / after

Local integration comparison against dev (234ab68c), using the actual generated getGetUsersQueryOptions, TanStack QueryObserver, orvalFetcher, and ofetch with a loopback HTTP server:

Scenario / metric	Before	After
10 successive search keys: HTTP requests started	10	10
Superseded requests canceled at HTTP transport	0	9
Full responses sent by the server	10	1
Synthetic response body bytes sent	655,750	65,575
Unsubscribe after starting all 10: requests canceled	0	10
Unsubscribe after starting all 10: full responses sent	10	0
Already-aborted signal: requests reaching the server	1	0
Already-aborted signal: returned promise	Fulfilled	Rejected

For each search key, the harness waited until its request reached the server before switching keys. Responses were held until all 10 requests had started. Each response body was 65,575 bytes of synthetic JSON. Cancellation was measured using premature HTTP response-close events, not just canceled query state. The search scenario sent 90% fewer response body bytes in this controlled test; this is not a production performance estimate.

Type of change

• Breaking change
• Refactor / cleanup
• Documentation
• Tests / CI

Checklist

• I tested the change locally or explained why it cannot be tested.
• I added or updated tests for behavior changes.
• I updated documentation, translations, or examples if needed. (Not applicable.)
• I checked database migrations when models or schema changed. (Not applicable.)
• I did not include secrets, tokens, private keys, or unrelated changes.

Testing

• Ran a standalone local integration harness before and after the patch with Node 24.15.0 and the installed dashboard dependencies. Auth-token/timezone utilities were stubbed; query cancellation and HTTP transport used the real implementation. The harness is a local experiment, not a committed test suite; no test framework was added.
• Confirmed the latest search still succeeds, canceled requests are not retried, and pre-aborted requests never reach the server after the change.
• Regression checks passed for GET parameter normalization (object and sort-array inputs), POST JSON bodies, authentication/timezone headers, and HTTP 401 login redirects. Cancellation did not redirect to login.
• git diff --check: passed.
• node node_modules/typescript/bin/tsc -p tsconfig.app.json --noEmit --pretty false (from dashboard): fails on existing project diagnostics. A TypeScript compiler API comparison found the same 28 diagnostics before and after, with none in src/service/http.ts.

Suggested manual browser check (not run): throttle the network in DevTools, change user search/page parameters while a request is pending, and check that obsolete requests show as canceled while the final request succeeds. Navigate away with a request pending and check that it is canceled as well.

Screenshots

Not applicable; no visual UI changes.

Notes for reviewers

This forwards the existing optional signal without changing the generated API file or other request options. It is independent of the user/node usage aggregation PRs. HTTP cancellation does not guarantee that backend or database work which has already started is interrupted.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for canceling in-progress network requests, helping prevent unnecessary work when requests are no longer needed.

Walkthrough

orvalFetcher now accepts an optional abort signal and forwards it to fetcher, enabling request cancellation.

Changes

Request cancellation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Forward the abort signal dashboard/src/service/http.ts	orvalFetcher destructures signal and passes it to fetcher in the request options.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 23b68

Requests can now be canceled when they become obsolete, while active requests continue normally. No current merge-blocking risk remains.

Poem

A rabbit sends a signal bright
To stop a fetch at just the right time
The request pauses, neat and clear
No stale journey lingers near
Hops complete through code tonight
