+## [2.15.3] - 2025-10-03
+
+### Added
+- **Error Message Capture in Telemetry** - Enhanced telemetry tracking to capture actual error messages for better debugging
+  - Added optional `errorMessage` parameter to `trackError()` method
+  - Comprehensive error message sanitization to protect sensitive data
+  - Updated all production and test call sites to pass error messages
+  - Error messages now stored in telemetry events table for analysis
+
+### Security
+- **Enhanced Error Message Sanitization** - Comprehensive security hardening for telemetry data
+  - **ReDoS Prevention**: Early truncation to 1500 chars before regex processing
+  - **Full URL Redaction**: Changed from `[URL]/path` to `[URL]` to prevent API structure leakage
+  - **Correct Sanitization Order**: URLs → specific credentials → emails → generic patterns
+  - **Credential Pattern Detection**: Added AWS keys, GitHub tokens, JWT, Bearer tokens
+  - **Error Handling**: Try-catch wrapper with `[SANITIZATION_FAILED]` fallback
+  - **Stack Trace Truncation**: Limited to first 3 lines to reduce attack surface
+
+### Fixed
+- **Missing Error Messages**: Resolved issue where 272+ weekly validation errors had no error messages captured
+- **Data Leakage**: Fixed URL path preservation exposing API versions and user IDs
+- **Email Exposure**: Fixed sanitization order allowing emails in URLs to leak
+- **ReDoS Vulnerability**: Removed complex capturing regex patterns that could cause performance issues
+
+### Changed
+- **Breaking Change**: `trackError()` signature updated with 4th parameter `errorMessage?: string`
+  - All internal call sites updated in single commit (atomic change)
+  - Not backwards compatible but acceptable as all code is internal
+
+### Technical Details
+- **Sanitization Patterns**:
+  - AWS Keys: `AKIA[A-Z0-9]{16}` → `[AWS_KEY]`
+  - GitHub Tokens: `ghp_[a-zA-Z0-9]{36,}` → `[GITHUB_TOKEN]`
+  - JWT: `eyJ[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.eyJ[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+\.[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+` → `[JWT]`
+  - Bearer Tokens: `Bearer [^\s]+` → `Bearer [TOKEN]`
+  - Emails: `[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,}` → `[EMAIL]`
+  - Long Keys: `\b[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{32,}\b` → `[KEY]`
+  - Generic Credentials: `password/api_key/token=<value>` → `<field>=[REDACTED]`
+
+### Test Coverage
+- Added 18 new security-focused tests
+- Total telemetry tests: 269 passing
+- Coverage: 90.75% for telemetry module
+- All security patterns validated with edge cases
+
+### Performance
+- Early truncation prevents ReDoS attacks
+- Simplified regex patterns (no complex capturing groups)
+- Sanitization adds <1ms overhead per error
+- Final message truncated to 500 chars max
+
+### Impact
+- **Debugging**: Error messages now available for root cause analysis
+- **Security**: Comprehensive protection against credential leakage
+- **Performance**: Protected against ReDoS attacks
+- **Reliability**: Try-catch ensures sanitization never breaks telemetry
+
+## [2.15.2] - 2025-10-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **Template Search Performance & Reliability** - Enhanced `search_templates_by_metadata` with production-ready improvements
+  - **Ordering Stability**: Implemented CTE with VALUES clause to preserve exact Phase 1 ordering
+    - Prevents ordering discrepancies between ID selection and data fetch phases
+    - Ensures deterministic results across query phases
+  - **Defensive ID Validation**: Added type safety filters before Phase 2 query
+    - Validates only positive integers are used in the CTE
+    - Logs warnings for filtered invalid IDs
+  - **Performance Monitoring**: Added detailed timing metrics (phase1Ms, phase2Ms, totalMs)
+    - Enables quantifying optimization benefits
+    - Debug logging for all search operations
+  - **DRY Refactoring**: Extracted `buildMetadataFilterConditions` helper method
+    - Eliminates duplication between `searchTemplatesByMetadata` and `getMetadataSearchCount`
+    - Centralized filter-building logic
+
+### Added
+- **Comprehensive Test Coverage** - 31 new unit tests achieving 100% coverage for changed code
+  - `buildMetadataFilterConditions` - All filter combinations (11 tests)
+  - Performance logging validation (3 tests)
+  - ID filtering edge cases - negative, zero, non-integer, null (7 tests)
+  - `getMetadataSearchCount` - Shared helper usage (7 tests)
+  - Two-phase query optimization verification (3 tests)
+- Fixed flaky integration tests with deterministic ordering using unique view counts
+
+### Performance
+- Query optimization maintains sub-1ms Phase 1 performance
+- Two-phase approach prevents timeout on large template sets
+- CTE-based ordering adds negligible overhead (<1ms)
+
+### Test Results
+- Unit tests: 31 new tests, all passing
+- Integration tests: 36 passing, 1 skipped
+- **Coverage**: 100% for changed code (previously 36.58% patch coverage)
+

+# Template Mining Analysis - Alternative to P0-R3
+
+**Date**: 2025-10-02
+**Context**: Analyzing whether to fix `get_node_for_task` (28% failure rate) or replace it with template-based configuration extraction
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**RECOMMENDATION**: Replace `get_node_for_task` with template-based configuration extraction. The template database contains 2,646 real-world workflows with rich node configurations that far exceed the 31 hardcoded task templates.
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### 1. Template Database Coverage
+
+- **Total Templates**: 2,646 production workflows from n8n.io
+- **Unique Node Types**: 543 (covers 103% of our 525 core nodes)
+- **Metadata Coverage**: 100% (AI-generated structured metadata)
+
+### 2. Node Type Coverage in Templates
+
+Top node types by template usage:
+```
+3,820 templates: n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest      (144% of total templates!)
+3,678 templates: n8n-nodes-base.set
+2,445 templates: n8n-nodes-base.code
+1,700 templates: n8n-nodes-base.googleSheets
+1,471 templates: @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent
+1,269 templates: @n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.lmChatOpenAi
+  792 templates: n8n-nodes-base.telegram
+  702 templates: n8n-nodes-base.httpRequestTool
+  596 templates: n8n-nodes-base.gmail
+  466 templates: n8n-nodes-base.webhook
+```
+
+**Comparison**:
+- Hardcoded task templates: 31 tasks covering 5.9% of nodes
+- Real templates: 2,646 templates with 2-3k examples for common nodes
+
+### 3. Database Structure
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE templates (
+  id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
+  workflow_id INTEGER UNIQUE NOT NULL,
+  name TEXT NOT NULL,
+  description TEXT,
+  -- Node information
+  nodes_used TEXT,              -- JSON array: ["n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest", ...]
+  workflow_json_compressed TEXT, -- Base64 encoded gzip of full workflow
+  -- Metadata (100% coverage)
+  metadata_json TEXT,           -- AI-generated structured metadata
+  -- Stats
+  views INTEGER DEFAULT 0,
+  created_at DATETIME,
+  -- ...
+);
+```
+
+### 4. Real Configuration Examples
+
+#### HTTP Request Node Configurations
+
+**Simple URL fetch**:
+```json
+{
+  "url": "https://api.example.com/data",
+  "options": {}
+}
+```
+
+**With authentication**:
+```json
+{
+  "url": "=https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{{ $json.data.id }}/result",
+  "options": {},
+  "authentication": "genericCredentialType",
+  "genericAuthType": "httpHeaderAuth"
+}
+```
+
+**Complex expressions**:
+```json
+{
+  "url": "=https://image.pollinations.ai/prompt/{{$('Social Media Content Factory').item.json.output.description.replaceAll(' ','-').replaceAll(',','').replaceAll('.','') }}",
+  "options": {}
+}
+```
+
+#### Webhook Node Configurations
+
+**Basic webhook**:
+```json
+{
+  "path": "ytube",
+  "options": {},
+  "httpMethod": "POST",
+  "responseMode": "responseNode"
+}
+```
+
+**With binary data**:
+```json
+{
+  "path": "your-endpoint",
+  "options": {
+    "binaryPropertyName": "data"
+  },
+  "httpMethod": "POST"
+}
+```
+
+### 5. AI-Generated Metadata
+
+Each template has structured metadata including:
+
+```json
+{
+  "categories": ["automation", "integration", "data processing"],
+  "complexity": "medium",
+  "use_cases": [
+    "Extract transaction data from Gmail",
+    "Automate bookkeeping",
+    "Expense tracking"
+  ],
+  "estimated_setup_minutes": 30,
+  "required_services": ["Gmail", "Google Sheets", "Google Gemini"],
+  "key_features": [
+    "Fetch emails by label",
+    "Extract transaction data",
+    "Use LLM for structured output"
+  ],
+  "target_audience": ["Accountants", "Small business owners"]
+}
+```
+
+## Comparison: Task Templates vs Real Templates
+
+### Current Approach (get_node_for_task)
+
+**Pros**:
+- Curated configurations with best practices
+- Predictable, stable responses
+- Fast lookup (no decompression needed)
+
+**Cons**:
+- Only 31 tasks (5.9% node coverage)
+- 28% failure rate (users can't find what they need)
+- Requires manual maintenance
+- Static configurations without real-world context
+- Usage ratio 22.5:1 (search_nodes is preferred)
+
+### Template-Based Approach
+
+**Pros**:
+- 2,646 real workflows with 2-3k examples for common nodes
+- 100% metadata coverage for semantic matching
+- Real-world patterns and best practices
+- Covers 543 node types (103% coverage)
+- Self-updating (templates fetched from n8n.io)
+- Rich context (use cases, complexity, setup time)
+
+**Cons**:
+- Requires decompression for full workflow access
+- May contain template-specific context (but can be filtered)
+- Need ranking/filtering logic for best matches
+
+## Proposed Implementation Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Extract Node Configurations from Templates
+
+Create a new service: `TemplateConfigExtractor`
+
+```typescript
+interface ExtractedNodeConfig {
+  nodeType: string;
+  configuration: Record<string, any>;
+  source: {
+    templateId: number;
+    templateName: string;
+    templateViews: number;
+    useCases: string[];
+    complexity: 'simple' | 'medium' | 'complex';
+  };
+  patterns: {
+    hasAuthentication: boolean;
+    hasExpressions: boolean;
+    hasOptionalFields: boolean;
+  };
+}
+
+class TemplateConfigExtractor {
+  async extractConfigsForNode(
+    nodeType: string,
+    options?: {
+      complexity?: 'simple' | 'medium' | 'complex';
+      requiresAuth?: boolean;
+      limit?: number;
+    }
+  ): Promise<ExtractedNodeConfig[]> {
+    // 1. Query templates containing nodeType
+    // 2. Decompress workflow_json_compressed
+    // 3. Extract node configurations
+    // 4. Rank by popularity + complexity match
+    // 5. Return top N configurations
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Integrate with Existing Tools
+
+**Option A**: Enhance `get_node_essentials`
+- Add `includeExamples: boolean` parameter
+- Return 2-3 real configurations from templates
+- Preserve existing compact format
+
+**Option B**: Enhance `get_node_info`
+- Add `examples` section with template-sourced configs
+- Include source attribution (template name, views)
+
+**Option C**: New tool `get_node_examples`
+- Dedicated tool for retrieving configuration examples
+- Query by node type, complexity, use case
+- Returns ranked list of real configurations
+
+### Phase 3: Deprecate get_node_for_task
+
+- Mark as deprecated in tool documentation
+- Redirect to enhanced tools
+- Remove after 2-3 version cycles
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Decompression Cost
+
+- Average compressed size: 6-12 KB
+- Decompression time: ~5-10ms per template
+- Caching strategy needed for frequently accessed templates
+
+### Query Strategy
+
+```sql
+-- Fast: Get templates for a node type (no decompression)
+SELECT id, name, views, metadata_json
+FROM templates
+WHERE nodes_used LIKE '%n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest%'
+ORDER BY views DESC
+LIMIT 10;
+
+-- Then decompress only top matches
+```
+
+### Caching
+
+- Cache decompressed workflows for popular templates (top 100)
+- TTL: 1 hour
+- Estimated memory: 100 * 50KB = 5MB
+
+## Impact on P0-R3
+
+**Original P0-R3 Plan**: Expand task library from 31 to 100+ tasks using fuzzy matching
+
+**New Approach**: Mine 2,646 templates for real configurations
+
+**Impact Assessment**:
+
+| Metric | Original Plan | Template Mining |
+|--------|--------------|-----------------|
+| Configuration examples | 100 (estimated) | 2,646+ actual |
+| Node coverage | ~20% | 103% |
+| Maintenance | High (manual) | Low (auto-fetch) |
+| Accuracy | Curated | Production-tested |
+| Context richness | Limited | Rich metadata |
+| Development time | 2-3 weeks | 1 week |
+
+**Recommendation**: PIVOT to template mining approach for P0-R3
+
+## Implementation Estimate
+
+### Week 1: Core Infrastructure
+- Day 1-2: Create `TemplateConfigExtractor` service
+- Day 3: Implement caching layer
+- Day 4-5: Testing and optimization
+
+### Week 2: Integration
+- Day 1-2: Enhance `get_node_essentials` with examples
+- Day 3: Update tool documentation
+- Day 4-5: Integration testing
+
+**Total**: 2 weeks vs 3 weeks for original plan
+
+## Validation Tests
+
+```typescript
+// Test: Extract HTTP Request configs
+const configs = await extractor.extractConfigsForNode(
+  'n8n-nodes-base.httpRequest',

+
+## Risks and Mitigation
+
+### Risk 1: Template Quality Varies
+- **Mitigation**: Filter by views (popularity) and metadata complexity rating
+- Only use templates with >1000 views for examples
+
+### Risk 2: Decompression Performance
+- **Mitigation**: Cache decompressed popular templates
+- Implement lazy loading (decompress on demand)
+
+### Risk 3: Template-Specific Context
+- **Mitigation**: Extract only node configuration, strip workflow-specific context
+- Provide source attribution for context
+
+### Risk 4: Breaking Changes in Template Structure
+- **Mitigation**: Robust error handling in decompression
+- Fallback to cached configs if template fetch fails
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+**Before** (get_node_for_task):
+- 392 calls, 72% success rate
+- 28% failure rate
+- 31 task templates
+- 5.9% node coverage
+
+**Target** (template-based):
+- 90%+ success rate for configuration discovery
+- 100%+ node coverage
+- 2,646+ real-world examples
+- Self-updating from n8n.io
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. ✅ Complete template database analysis
+2. ⏳ Create `TemplateConfigExtractor` service
+3. ⏳ Implement caching layer
+4. ⏳ Enhance `get_node_essentials` with examples
+5. ⏳ Update P0 implementation plan
+6. ⏳ Begin implementation
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The template database provides a vastly superior alternative to hardcoded task templates:
+
+- **2,646 templates** vs 31 tasks (85x more examples)
+- **103% node coverage** vs 5.9% coverage (17x improvement)
+- **Real-world configurations** vs synthetic examples
+- **Self-updating** vs manual maintenance
+- **Rich metadata** for semantic matching
+
+**Recommendation**: Pivot P0-R3 from "expand task library" to "mine template configurations"

+# Comprehensive Integration Testing Plan
+
+## Overview
+
+Transform the test suite to test all 17 n8n API handlers against a **real n8n instance** instead of mocks. This plan ensures 100% coverage of every tool, operation, and parameter combination to prevent bugs like the P0 workflow creation issue from slipping through.
+
+## Critical Requirements
+
+1. **Credentials**:
+   - Local development: Read from `.env` file
+   - CI/GitHub Actions: Use GitHub secrets (`N8N_URL`, `N8N_API_KEY`)
+
+2. **Pre-activated Webhook Workflows**:
+   - n8n API doesn't support workflow activation via API
+   - Need pre-created, activated workflows for webhook testing
+   - Store workflow IDs in `.env`:
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_GET_ID` - Webhook with GET method
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_POST_ID` - Webhook with POST method
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_PUT_ID` - Webhook with PUT method
+     - `N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_DELETE_ID` - Webhook with DELETE method
+
+3. **100% Coverage Goal**: Test EVERY tool, EVERY operation, EVERY parameter combination
+

+
+**Branch**: `feat/integration-tests-workflow-creation`
+
+**File**: `tests/integration/n8n-api/workflows/create-workflow.test.ts`
+
+**10+ Test Scenarios**:
+1. Create workflow with base webhook node (verify P0 bug fix)
+2. Create workflow with base HTTP request node
+3. Create workflow with langchain agent node
+4. Create complex multi-node workflow
+5. Create workflow with complex connections
+6. Error: Invalid node type
+7. Error: Missing required parameters
+8. Error: Duplicate node names
+9. Error: Invalid connection references

+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Test Isolation Strategy
+
+### Workflow Naming Convention
+- Prefix: `[MCP-TEST]`
+- Include test name: `[MCP-TEST] Create Workflow - Base Nodes`
+- Include timestamp for uniqueness: `[MCP-TEST] Test Name ${Date.now()}`
+
+### Workflow Tagging
+- All test workflows tagged with: `mcp-integration-test`
+- Enables bulk cleanup queries
+
+### Cleanup Levels
+1. **Test-level**: After each test via `afterEach` hook
+2. **Suite-level**: After each test file via `afterAll` hook
+3. **CI-level**: After CI job completes (always run)
+4. **Orphan cleanup**: Periodic job to clean up failed test runs
+
+---

+- Test workflow retrieval
+- Test workflow deletion
+
+**Branch:** `feat/integration-tests-workflow-creation`
+
+## Prerequisites for Running Tests
+
+Before running integration tests, you need to:
+
+1. **Set up n8n instance:**
+   - Local: `npx n8n start`
+   - Or use cloud/self-hosted n8n
+
+2. **Configure credentials in `.env`:**
+   ```bash
+   N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:5678
+   N8N_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
+   ```
+
+3. **Create 4 webhook workflows manually:**
+   - One for each HTTP method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
+   - Activate each workflow in n8n UI
+   - Set workflow IDs in `.env`:
+     ```bash
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_GET_ID=<workflow-id>
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_POST_ID=<workflow-id>
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_PUT_ID=<workflow-id>
+     N8N_TEST_WEBHOOK_DELETE_ID=<workflow-id>
+     ```
+
+See `docs/local/integration-testing-plan.md` for detailed setup instructions.
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+Phase 1 Success Criteria - ALL MET:
+- ✅ All utilities implemented and tested
+- ✅ TypeScript compiles without errors
+- ✅ Code follows project conventions
+- ✅ Comprehensive documentation
+- ✅ Environment configuration complete
+- ✅ Cleanup infrastructure in place
+- ✅ Ready for Phase 2 test implementation
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. **N8nApiClient Constructor:** Uses config object, not separate parameters
+2. **Cursor Handling:** n8n API returns `null` for no more pages, need to convert to `undefined`
+3. **Workflow ID Validation:** Some workflows might have undefined IDs, need null checks
+4. **Connection Types:** Error connections need explicit typing to avoid TypeScript errors
+5. **Webhook Activation:** Cannot be done via API, must be manual - hence pre-activated workflow requirement
+
+## Time Invested
+
+Phase 1 actual time: ~2 hours (estimated 2-3 days in plan)
+- Faster than expected due to clear architecture and reusable patterns

czlonkowski	8d1ae278ee	fix: optimize search_templates_by_metadata to prevent timeout Problem: - search_templates_by_metadata with no filters caused Claude Desktop timeouts - Query loaded ALL templates with metadata_json and decompressed workflows - With 2,646 templates, this caused significant performance issues Solution: - Implement two-phase query optimization: 1. Phase 1: SELECT id only (fast, no workflow data) 2. Phase 2: Fetch full records only for matching IDs (decompress only needed rows) - Prevents loading/decompressing thousands of rows when only 20 are needed Performance Impact: - No filters: Now responds instantly instead of timing out - With filters: Same fast performance, minimal overhead - Only decompresses the exact number of rows needed (limit parameter) Testing: - Tested with no filters: ✅ 2,646 templates, returned 5 in <1s - Tested with complexity filter: ✅ 262 templates, returned 3 in <1s 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>	2025-10-03 13:36:46 +02:00
