Fixed critical bug where AI Agent validator never executed, missing 179 configuration errors (30% of all telemetry-identified failures).
The Bug:
- Switch case checked for '@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent' (full package format)
- But nodeType was normalized to 'nodes-langchain.agent' before reaching switch
- Result: AI Agent validator never matched, never executed
The Fix:
- Changed case to 'nodes-langchain.agent' to match normalized format
- Now correctly catches prompt configuration, maxIterations, error handling issues
Files Changed:
- src/services/enhanced-config-validator.ts:322 - Fixed nodeType format
- tests/unit/services/enhanced-config-validator.test.ts - Added validateAIAgent to mock and verification test
- CHANGELOG.md - Added bug fix section to 2.22.13 (not separate version)
Testing:
- npm test -- tests/unit/services/enhanced-config-validator.test.ts
- ✓ All 51 tests pass including new AI Agent validation test
Discovery:
Discovered by n8n-mcp-tester agent during post-deployment verification of 2.22.13 improvements. The agent attempted to validate an AI Agent node configuration and discovered the validator was never being called.
Impact:
- Without fix: 179 AI Agent configuration errors (30%) go undetected
- With fix: All AI Agent validation rules now execute correctly
Version: 2.22.13 (kept under same version as original implementation)

Fixed critical startup crash when server falls back to sql.js adapter
due to Node.js version mismatches.
Problem:
- better-sqlite3 fails to load when Node runtime version differs from build version
- Server falls back to sql.js (pure JS, no native dependencies)
- Database health check crashed with "no such module: fts5"
- Server exits immediately, preventing Claude Desktop connection
Solution:
- Wrapped FTS5 health check in try-catch block
- Logs warning when FTS5 not available
- Server continues with fallback search (LIKE queries)
- Graceful degradation: works with any Node.js version
Impact:
- Server now starts successfully with sql.js fallback
- Works with Node v20 (Claude Desktop) even when built with Node v22
- Clear warnings about FTS5 unavailability
- Users can choose: sql.js (slower, works everywhere) or rebuild better-sqlite3 (faster)
Files Changed:
- src/mcp/server.ts: Added try-catch around FTS5 health check (lines 299-317)
Testing:
- ✅ Tested with Node v20.17.0 (Claude Desktop)
- ✅ Tested with Node v22.17.0 (build version)
- ✅ All 6 startup checkpoints pass
- ✅ Database health check passes with warning

Added new fast workflow section based on 2025-11-04 update experience:
- CRITICAL: Check existing releases first to avoid version conflicts
- Skip local tests - CI runs them anyway (saves 2-3 min)
- Integration test failures with 'unauthorized' are infrastructure issues
- Release workflow only triggers on version CHANGE
- Updated time estimates for fast vs full workflow

* Update CLAUDE_CODE_SETUP.md
docs: Improve CLI setup for PowerShell and scope management
This commit introduces two improvements to the CLAUDE_CODE_SETUP.md documentation to enhance user experience, particularly for Windows users and those managing configuration scopes.
1. Add PowerShell-Compatible Commands:
The original `claude mcp add` commands use a syntax that fails in native Windows PowerShell due to its parameter parsing. This change adds dedicated code blocks for PowerShell, which correctly wrap the `-e` arguments in single quotes.
2. Clarify Configuration Scope Management:
The documentation previously lacked guidance on the default configuration scope and how to switch to a `project` scope. A new "Tips" section has been added to:
- Explain the default scope and the purpose of `--scope project`.
- Provide a clear, recommended CLI method for switching scopes.
- Offer an advanced, manual method by editing the `.claude.json` file.
* Update CLAUDE_CODE_SETUP.md again

The emoji (🎉) on line 147 inside the heredoc was causing GitHub Actions
YAML parser to fail with "Invalid workflow file" error on line 149.
Root cause analysis:
- Emojis work fine in echo statements throughout workflows
- But emojis as literal content inside heredocs within YAML break the parser
- The UTF-8 bytes of the emoji confuse GitHub Actions' YAML interpreter
- Error was reported at line 149 but caused by emoji on line 147
Solution:
- Removed emoji from heredoc content in release notes generation
- Heredoc now contains plain ASCII text only
- This follows the same pattern as other heredocs in the workflow
Related: Previous similar fix in commit 952a97e which changed from quoted
multi-line strings to heredocs. This fix completes that work by ensuring
heredoc content is parser-safe.

Added helpful suggestions for HTTP Request node best practices after thorough investigation of issue #361.
## What's New
1. **alwaysOutputData Suggestion**
- Suggests adding alwaysOutputData: true at node level
- Prevents silent workflow failures when HTTP requests error
- Ensures downstream error handling can process failed requests
2. **responseFormat Suggestion for API Endpoints**
- Suggests setting options.response.response.responseFormat
- Prevents JSON parsing confusion
- Triggered for URLs containing /api, /rest, supabase, firebase, googleapis, .com/v
3. **Enhanced URL Protocol Validation**
- Detects missing protocol in expression-based URLs
- Warns about patterns like =www.{{ $json.domain }}.com
- Warns about expressions without protocol
## Investigation Findings
**Key Discoveries:**
- Mixed expression syntax =literal{{ expression }} actually works in n8n (claim was incorrect)
- Real validation gaps: missing alwaysOutputData and responseFormat checks
- Compared broken vs fixed workflows to identify actual production issues
**Testing Evidence:**
- Analyzed workflow SwjKJsJhe8OsYfBk with mixed syntax - executions successful
- Compared broken workflow (mBmkyj460i5rYTG4) with fixed workflow (hQI9pby3nSFtk4TV)
- Identified that fixed workflow has alwaysOutputData: true and explicit responseFormat
## Impact
- Non-Breaking: All changes are suggestions/warnings, not errors
- Actionable: Clear guidance on how to implement best practices
- Production-Focused: Addresses real workflow reliability concerns
## Test Coverage
Added 8 new test cases covering:
- alwaysOutputData suggestion for all HTTP Request nodes
- responseFormat suggestion for API endpoint detection
- responseFormat NOT suggested when already configured
- URL protocol validation for expression-based URLs
- No false positives when protocol is correctly included
## Files Changed
- src/services/enhanced-config-validator.ts - Added enhanceHttpRequestValidation()

The test "should handle workflow with no fixable issues" was failing
because the new version upgrade feature (added in this PR) detected
that the test's webhook node (version 2) was outdated compared to
the database version (2.1), and suggested a version upgrade fix.
Solution: Explicitly exclude 'typeversion-upgrade' and 'version-migration'
fix types from this test using the fixTypes parameter. This preserves
the test's original intent of verifying the "no fixes available" code path.
This follows the pattern used in other tests in the same file that
use fixTypes to limit the scope of autofix operations.
