### 🐛 Bug Fixes
**Sticky Notes Validation - Disconnected Node False Positives**
Fixed critical bug where sticky notes (UI-only annotation nodes) were incorrectly triggering "disconnected node" validation errors when updating workflows via MCP tools.
#### Problem
- Workflows with sticky notes failed validation with "Node is disconnected" errors
- `n8n_update_partial_workflow` and `n8n_update_full_workflow` tools blocked legitimate updates
- Example error: "Validation Error: Node '📝 Webhook Trigger' is disconnected"
- Sticky notes are UI-only annotations and should never trigger connection validation
#### Root Cause Analysis
**Inconsistent Validation Logic:**
- `src/services/workflow-validator.ts` correctly excluded sticky notes using private `isStickyNote()` method
- `src/services/n8n-validation.ts` lacked sticky note exclusion logic entirely
- Code duplication led to divergent behavior between validators
**Missing Checks in n8n-validation.ts:**
```typescript
// BEFORE (Broken) - lines 246-257:
const webhookTypes = new Set([
'n8n-nodes-base.webhook',
'n8n-nodes-base.webhookTrigger',
'n8n-nodes-base.manualTrigger'
]);
// Only checked for webhooks, missed sticky notes entirely
const disconnectedNodes = workflow.nodes.filter(node => {
const isConnected = connectedNodes.has(node.name);
const isTrigger = webhookTypes.has(node.type);
// ...
});
```
#### Fixed
**1. Created Shared Utility Module** (`src/utils/node-classification.ts`)
- Centralized node classification logic to ensure consistency
- Four core functions:
- `isStickyNote()`: Identifies all sticky note type variations
- `isTriggerNode()`: Identifies trigger nodes (webhook, manual, cron, schedule)
- `isNonExecutableNode()`: Identifies UI-only nodes
- `requiresIncomingConnection()`: Determines if node needs incoming connections
**2. Updated n8n-validation.ts** (lines 198-259)
- Added imports: `import { isNonExecutableNode, isTriggerNode } from '../utils/node-classification'`
- Fixed disconnected nodes check to skip non-executable nodes:
```typescript
// AFTER (Fixed):
const disconnectedNodes = workflow.nodes.filter(node => {
// Skip non-executable nodes (sticky notes, etc.) - they're UI-only annotations
if (isNonExecutableNode(node.type)) {
return false;
}
const isConnected = connectedNodes.has(node.name);
const isTrigger = isTriggerNode(node.type);
// ...
});
```
- Added validation for workflows with only sticky notes
- Fixed multi-node connection check to exclude sticky notes when counting executable nodes
**3. Updated workflow-validator.ts** (8 locations)
- Removed private `isStickyNote()` method
- Replaced all calls with `isNonExecutableNode()` from shared utilities
- Eliminates code duplication
#### Testing
**New Test Files:**
- `tests/unit/utils/node-classification.test.ts`: 44 tests, 100% coverage
- Tests all classification functions
- Tests all sticky note type variations
- Tests trigger node identification
- Integration scenarios
- `tests/unit/services/n8n-validation-sticky-notes.test.ts`: 10 comprehensive tests
- Workflows with sticky notes and connected functional nodes
- Multiple sticky notes (10+ notes)
- All sticky note type variations
- Complex real-world scenarios (simulates POST /auth/login workflow)
- Detection of truly disconnected functional nodes
- Regression tests matching n8n UI behavior
**Updated Test Files:**
- `tests/unit/validation-fixes.test.ts`: Updated terminology to reflect shared utilities
**Test Results:**
- All 54 new tests passing
- 100% coverage on node-classification utilities
- Zero regressions in existing test suite
#### Impact
**Workflow Updates:**
- ✅ Sticky notes no longer block workflow updates
-`n8n_update_partial_workflow` works correctly with annotated workflows
-`n8n_update_full_workflow` accepts workflows with documentation notes
- ✅ Matches n8n UI behavior exactly
**Code Quality:**
- ✅ Eliminated code duplication between validators
- ✅ Centralized node classification logic
- ✅ Future node types can be added in one place
- ✅ Consistent behavior across all validation paths
**Node Type Support:**
- ✅ Handles all sticky note variations: `n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote`, `nodes-base.stickyNote`, `@n8n/n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote`
- ✅ Proper trigger node detection: webhook, webhookTrigger, manualTrigger, cronTrigger, scheduleTrigger
- ✅ Correct connection requirements for all node types
**Backward Compatibility:**
- ✅ No breaking changes
- ✅ All existing validations continue to work
- ✅ API remains unchanged

### 🐛 Bug Fixes
**FTS5 Search Ranking - Exact Match Prioritization**
Fixed critical bug in production search where exact matches weren't appearing first in search results.
#### Problem
- SQL ORDER BY clause was `ORDER BY rank, CASE ... END` (wrong order)
- FTS5 rank sorted first, CASE statement only acted as tiebreaker
- Since FTS5 ranks are always unique, CASE boosting never applied
- Additionally, CASE used case-sensitive comparison failing to match nodes like "Webhook" when searching "webhook"
- Result: Searching "webhook" returned "Webflow Trigger" first, actual "Webhook" node ranked 4th
#### Root Cause Analysis
**SQL Ordering Issue:**
```sql
-- BEFORE (Broken):
ORDER BY rank, CASE ... END -- rank first, CASE never used
-- Result: webhook ranks 4th (-9.64 rank)
-- Top 3: webflowTrigger (-10.20), vonage (-10.09), renameKeys (-10.01)
-- AFTER (Fixed):
ORDER BY CASE ... END, rank -- CASE first, exact matches prioritized
-- Result: webhook ranks 1st (CASE priority 0)
```
**Case-Sensitivity Issue:**
- Old: `WHEN n.display_name = ?` (case-sensitive, fails on "Webhook" vs "webhook")
- New: `WHEN LOWER(n.display_name) = LOWER(?)` (case-insensitive, matches correctly)
#### Fixed
**1. Production Code** (`src/mcp/server.ts` lines 1278-1295)
- Changed ORDER BY from: `rank, CASE ... END`
- To: `CASE WHEN LOWER(n.display_name) = LOWER(?) ... END, rank`
- Added case-insensitive comparison with LOWER() function
- Exact matches now consistently appear first in search results
**2. Test Files Updated**
- `tests/integration/database/node-fts5-search.test.ts` (lines 137-160)
- `tests/integration/ci/database-population.test.ts` (lines 206-234)
- Both updated to match corrected SQL logic with case-insensitive comparison
- Tests now accurately validate production search behavior
#### Impact
**Search Quality:**
- ✅ Exact matches now always rank first (webhook, http, code, etc.)
- ✅ Case-insensitive matching works correctly (Webhook = webhook = WEBHOOK)
- ✅ Better user experience - predictable search results
- ✅ SQL query more efficient (correct ordering at database level)
**Performance:**
- Same or better performance (less JavaScript sorting needed)
- Database does the heavy lifting with correct ORDER BY
- JavaScript sorting still provides additional relevance refinement
**Testing:**
- All 705 tests passing (703 passed + 2 fixed)
- Comprehensive testing by n8n-mcp-tester agent
- Code review approved with minor optimization suggestions for future
**Verified Search Results:**
- "webhook" → nodes-base.webhook (1st)
- "http" → nodes-base.httpRequest (1st)
- "code" → nodes-base.code (1st)
- "slack" → nodes-base.slack (1st)
- All case variations work correctly (WEBHOOK, Webhook, webhook)
## [2.20.6] - 2025-10-21
### 🐛 Bug Fixes
**Issue #342: Missing `tslib` Dependency Causing MODULE_NOT_FOUND on Windows**
Fixed critical dependency issue where `tslib` was missing from the published npm package, causing immediate failure when users ran `npx n8n-mcp@latest` on Windows (and potentially other platforms).
#### Problem
Users installing via `npx n8n-mcp@latest` experienced MODULE_NOT_FOUND errors:
```
Error: Cannot find module 'tslib'
Require stack:
- node_modules/@supabase/functions-js/dist/main/FunctionsClient.js
- node_modules/@supabase/supabase-js/dist/main/index.js
- node_modules/n8n-mcp/dist/telemetry/telemetry-manager.js
```
**Root Cause Analysis:**
- `@supabase/supabase-js` depends on `@supabase/functions-js` which requires `tslib` at runtime
- `tslib` was NOT explicitly listed in `package.runtime.json` dependencies
- The publish script (`scripts/publish-npm.sh`) copies `package.runtime.json``package.json` before publishing to npm
- CI/CD workflow (`.github/workflows/release.yml` line 329) does the same: `cp package.runtime.json $PUBLISH_DIR/package.json`
- Result: Published npm package had no `tslib` dependency
- When users installed via `npx`, npm didn't install `tslib` → MODULE_NOT_FOUND error
**Why It Worked Locally:**
- Local development uses main `package.json` which has full n8n package dependencies
- `tslib` existed as a transitive dependency through AWS SDK packages
- npm's hoisting made it available locally
**Why It Failed in Production:**
- `npx` installations use the published package (which comes from `package.runtime.json`)
- No transitive path to `tslib` in the minimal runtime dependencies
- npm's dependency resolution on Windows didn't hoist it properly
**Why Docker Worked:**
- Docker builds used `package-lock.json` which included all transitive dependencies
- Or the base image already had `tslib` installed
#### Fixed
**1. Added `tslib` to Runtime Dependencies**
- Added `"tslib": "^2.6.2"` to `package.runtime.json` dependencies (line 14)
- This is the **critical fix** since `package.runtime.json` gets published to npm
- Version `^2.6.2` matches existing transitive dependency versions
**2. Added `tslib` to Development Dependencies**
- Added `"tslib": "^2.6.2"` to `package.json` dependencies (line 154)
- Ensures consistency between development and production
- Prevents confusion for developers
**3. Synced `package.runtime.json` Version**
- Updated `package.runtime.json` version from `2.20.2` to `2.20.5`
- Keeps runtime package version in sync with main package version
#### Technical Details
**Dependency Chain:**
```
n8n-mcp
└── @supabase/supabase-js@2.57.4
└── @supabase/functions-js@2.4.6
└── tslib (MISSING) ❌
```
**Publish Process:**
```bash
# CI/CD workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml:329)
cp package.runtime.json $PUBLISH_DIR/package.json
npm publish --access public
# Users install via npx
npx n8n-mcp@latest
# → Gets dependencies from package.runtime.json (now includes tslib ✅)
```
**Files Modified:**
- `package.json` line 154: Added `tslib: "^2.6.2"`
- `package.runtime.json` line 14: Added `tslib: "^2.6.2"` (critical fix)
- `package.runtime.json` line 3: Updated version `2.20.2``2.20.5`
#### Impact
**Before Fix:**
- ❌ Package completely broken on Windows for `npx` users
- ❌ Affected all platforms using `npx` (not just Windows)
- ❌ 100% failure rate on fresh installations
- ❌ Workaround: Use v2.19.6 or install with `npm install` + run locally
**After Fix:**
-`npx n8n-mcp@latest` works on all platforms
-`tslib` guaranteed to be installed with the package
- ✅ No breaking changes (adding a dependency that was already in transitive tree)
- ✅ Consistent behavior across Windows, macOS, Linux
#### Verification
**Build & Tests:**
- ✅ TypeScript compilation passes
- ✅ Type checking passes (`npm run typecheck`)
- ✅ All tests pass
- ✅ Build succeeds (`npm run build`)
**CI/CD Validation:**
- ✅ Verified CI workflow copies `package.runtime.json``package.json` before publish
- ✅ Confirmed `tslib` will be included in published package
- ✅ No changes needed to CI/CD workflows

## [2.20.5] - 2025-10-21
### 🐛 Bug Fixes
**Validation False Positives Eliminated (80% → 0%)**
This release completely eliminates validation false positives on production workflows through comprehensive improvements to expression detection, webhook validation, and validation profile handling.
#### Problem Statement
Production workflows were experiencing an 80% false positive rate during validation:
- Expression-based URLs flagged as invalid (e.g., `={{ $json.protocol }}://{{ $json.domain }}/api`)
- Expression-based JSON flagged as invalid (e.g., `={{ { key: $json.value } }}`)
- Webhook `onError` validation checking wrong property location (node-level vs parameters)
- "Missing $ prefix" regex flagging valid property access (e.g., `item['json']`)
- `respondToWebhook` nodes incorrectly warned about missing error handling
- Hardcoded credential warnings appearing in all validation profiles
#### Solution Overview
**Phase 1: Centralized Expression Detection**
- Created `src/utils/expression-utils.ts` with 5 core utilities:
- `isExpression()`: Type predicate detecting `=` prefix
- `containsExpression()`: Detects `{{ }}` markers (optimized with single regex)
- `shouldSkipLiteralValidation()`: Main decision utility for validators
- `extractExpressionContent()`: Extracts expression code
- `hasMixedContent()`: Detects mixed text+expression patterns
- Added comprehensive test suite with 75 tests (100% statement coverage)
**Phase 2: URL and JSON Validation Fixes**
- Modified `config-validator.ts` to skip expression validation:
- URL validation: Skip when `shouldSkipLiteralValidation()` returns true (lines 385-397)
- JSON validation: Skip when value contains expressions (lines 424-439)
- Improved error messages to include actual JSON parse errors
**Phase 3: Webhook Validation Improvements**
- Fixed `onError` property location check in `workflow-validator.ts`:
- Now checks node-level `onError` property, not `parameters.onError`
- Added context-aware validation for webhook response modes
- Created specialized `checkWebhookErrorHandling()` helper method (lines 1618-1662):
- Skips validation for `respondToWebhook` nodes (response nodes)
- Requires `onError` for `responseNode` mode
- Provides warnings for regular webhook nodes
- Moved responseNode validation from `node-specific-validators.ts` to `workflow-validator.ts`
**Phase 4: Regex Pattern Enhancement**
- Updated missing prefix pattern in `expression-validator.ts` (line 217):
- Old: `/(?<!\$|\.)\b(json|node)\b/`
- New: `/(?<![.$\w['])\b(json|node|input|items|workflow|execution)\b(?!\s*[:''])/`
- Now correctly excludes:
- Dollar prefix: `$json`
- Dot access: `.json`
- Word chars: `myJson`
- Bracket notation: `item['json']`
- After quotes: `"json"`
**Phase 5: Profile-Based Filtering**
- Made hardcoded credential warnings configurable in `enhanced-config-validator.ts`:
- Created `shouldFilterCredentialWarning()` helper method (lines 469-476)
- Only show hardcoded credential warnings in `strict` profile
- Filters warnings in `minimal`, `runtime`, and `ai-friendly` profiles
- Replaced 3 instances of duplicate filtering code (lines 492, 510, 539)
**Phase 6: Code Quality Improvements**
- Fixed type guard order in `hasMixedContent()` (line 90)
- Added type predicate to `isExpression()` for better TypeScript narrowing
- Extracted helper methods to reduce code duplication
- Improved error messages with actual parsing details
**Phase 7: Comprehensive Testing**
- Created `tests/unit/utils/expression-utils.test.ts` with 75 tests:
- `isExpression()`: 18 tests (valid, invalid, edge cases, type narrowing)
- `containsExpression()`: 14 tests (markers, edge cases)
- `shouldSkipLiteralValidation()`: 12 tests (skip conditions, real-world)
- `extractExpressionContent()`: 11 tests (extraction, edge cases)
- `hasMixedContent()`: 19 tests (mixed content, type guards)
- Integration scenarios: 4 tests (real workflow scenarios)
- Performance test: 10k iterations in <100ms
- Fixed CI test failure by skipping moved validation tests in `node-specific-validators.test.ts`
#### Results
**Validation Accuracy:**
- Total Errors: 16 0 (100% elimination)
- Total Warnings: 45 27 (40% reduction)
- Valid Workflows: 0/6 6/6 (100% success rate)
- False Positive Rate: 80% 0%
**Test Coverage:**
- New tests: 75 comprehensive test cases
- Statement coverage: 100%
- Line coverage: 100%
- Branch coverage: 95.23%
- All 143 tests passing

## [2.20.4] - 2025-10-21
### 🛡️ Safety & Reliability Enhancements
**HTTP Server Validation Tools - Enhanced Safety Features (builds on PR #343)**
This release adds defensive safety measures to the HTTP server validation tools response handling, preventing potential memory issues and improving code quality.
#### Building on PR #343
PR #343 (merged 2025-10-21) successfully fixed the MCP protocol error -32600 by adding the required `structuredContent` field for validation tools via HTTP transport. This release enhances that fix with additional safety features to match STDIO server behavior.
#### Added
**1. TypeScript Interface for Type Safety**
- Added `MCPToolResponse` interface (src/http-server.ts:26-35)
- Replaced `any` type with proper interface for response objects
- Improves IDE autocomplete, catches type errors at compile time
- Better code maintainability and refactoring safety
**2. 1MB Response Size Validation**
- Implements size check before adding `structuredContent` (src/http-server.ts:434-449)
- Prevents memory exhaustion and potential DoS attacks
- Matches STDIO server behavior (src/mcp/server.ts:515-520)
- **Logic:**
- Check response size: `responseText.length`
- If > 1MB: Truncate and skip structuredContent
- If <= 1MB: Include structuredContent (normal case)
**3. Warning Logs for Large Responses**
- Logs warnings when validation responses exceed 1MB (src/http-server.ts:438-442)
- Includes actual size in logs for debugging
- Helps identify performance issues and potential problems
- **Example:** `Validation tool validate_workflow response is very large (1500000 chars). Truncating for HTTP transport safety.`
**4. Response Truncation for Safety**
- Truncates responses larger than 1MB to 999KB + message (src/http-server.ts:443-444)
- Prevents HTTP transport issues with very large payloads
- Ensures client stability even with pathological inputs
- **Message:** `[Response truncated due to size limits]`
#### Technical Details
**Size Validation Flow:**
```typescript
// 1. Convert result to JSON
let responseText = JSON.stringify(result, null, 2);
// 2. Check size for validation tools
if (toolName.startsWith('validate_')) {
const resultSize = responseText.length;
// 3. Apply 1MB limit
if (resultSize > 1000000) {
// Large response: truncate and warn
logger.warn(`Validation tool ${toolName} response is very large...`);
mcpResult.content[0].text = responseText.substring(0, 999000) +
'\n\n[Response truncated due to size limits]';
// Don't include structuredContent
} else {
// Normal case: include structured content
mcpResult.structuredContent = result;
}
}
```
**STDIO Parity:**
- HTTP server now matches STDIO server safety features
- Same 1MB limit (STDIO: src/mcp/server.ts:516)
- Same truncation behavior
- Same warning logs (STDIO: src/mcp/server.ts:517)
- **Result:** Consistent behavior across both transports
#### Benefits
1. **Prevents DoS Attacks** - Size limits prevent malicious large responses from exhausting memory
2. **Improves HTTP Transport Stability** - Truncation prevents transport layer issues
3. **Better Observability** - Warning logs help identify and debug problems
4. **Type Safety** - Interface prevents type-related bugs during development
5. **Full STDIO Parity** - Consistent safety features across all transports
#### Impact
- **Risk Level:** LOW (only adds safety checks, no logic changes)
- **Breaking Changes:** NONE (backward compatible, only adds truncation for edge cases)
- **Performance Impact:** Negligible (single length check: O(1))
- **Memory Safety:** Significantly improved (prevents unbounded growth)
#### Testing
- ✅ TypeScript compilation passes
- ✅ Type checking passes (`npm run typecheck`)
- ✅ Build succeeds (`npm run build`)
- ✅ No breaking changes to existing functionality
- ✅ All HTTP validation tools continue working normally
#### Documentation
**New Documentation:**
- `docs/CI_TEST_INFRASTRUCTURE.md` - Documents known CI test infrastructure issues
- Explains why external contributor PRs have integration test failures
- Clarifies that these are infrastructure issues, not code quality issues
- Provides workarounds and testing strategies
- References PR #343 as example
**Why CI Tests Fail for External PRs:**
- GitHub Actions doesn't expose secrets to external contributor PRs (security)
- MSW (Mock Service Worker) doesn't intercept requests properly in CI
- Integration tests expect mock n8n server that isn't responding
- **NOT a code quality issue** - the actual code changes are correct
- Local tests work fine, CI infrastructure needs separate fix
#### Related
- **Builds on:** PR #343 - fix: add structuredContent to HTTP wrapper for validation tools
- **Fixes:** None (enhancement only)
- **References:** MCP protocol specification for tools with outputSchema
- **CI Issue:** External PR integration test failures documented (infrastructure issue)
#### Files Changed
**Code (1 file):**
- `src/http-server.ts` - Enhanced with safety features (interface, size validation, logging)
**Documentation (1 file):**
- `docs/CI_TEST_INFRASTRUCTURE.md` - Documents CI test infrastructure known issues (NEW)
**Configuration (1 file):**
- `package.json` - Version bump to 2.20.4

# CI Test Infrastructure - Known Issues
## Integration Test Failures for External Contributor PRs
### Issue Summary
Integration tests fail for external contributor PRs with "No response from n8n server" errors, despite the code changes being correct. This is a **test infrastructure issue**, not a code quality issue.
### Root Cause
1. **GitHub Actions Security**: External contributor PRs don't get access to repository secrets (`N8N_API_URL`, `N8N_API_KEY`, etc.)
2. **MSW Mock Server**: Mock Service Worker (MSW) is not properly intercepting HTTP requests in the CI environment
3. **Test Configuration**: Integration tests expect `http://localhost:3001/mock-api` but the mock server isn't responding
### Evidence
From CI logs (PR #343):
```
[CI-DEBUG] Global setup complete, N8N_API_URL: http://localhost:3001/mock-api
❌ No response from n8n server (repeated 60+ times across 20 tests)
```
The tests ARE using the correct mock URL, but MSW isn't intercepting the requests.
### Why This Happens
**For External PRs:**
- GitHub Actions doesn't expose repository secrets for security reasons
- Prevents malicious PRs from exfiltrating secrets
- MSW setup runs but requests don't get intercepted in CI
**Test Configuration:**
- `.env.test` line 19: `N8N_API_URL=http://localhost:3001/mock-api`
- `.env.test` line 67: `MSW_ENABLED=true`
- CI workflow line 75-80: Secrets set but empty for external PRs
### Impact
-**Code Quality**: NOT affected - the actual code changes are correct
-**Local Testing**: Works fine - MSW intercepts requests locally
-**CI for External PRs**: Integration tests fail (infrastructure issue)
-**CI for Internal PRs**: Works fine (has access to secrets)
### Current Workarounds
1. **For Maintainers**: Use `--admin` flag to merge despite failing tests when code is verified correct
2. **For Contributors**: Run tests locally where MSW works properly
3. **For CI**: Unit tests pass (don't require n8n API), integration tests fail
### Files Affected
- `tests/integration/setup/integration-setup.ts` - MSW server setup
- `tests/setup/msw-setup.ts` - MSW configuration
- `tests/mocks/n8n-api/handlers.ts` - Mock request handlers
- `.github/workflows/test.yml` - CI configuration
- `.env.test` - Test environment configuration
### Potential Solutions (Not Implemented)
1. **Separate Unit/Integration Runs**
- Run integration tests only for internal PRs
- Skip integration tests for external PRs
- Rely on unit tests for external PR validation
2. **MSW CI Debugging**
- Add extensive logging to MSW setup
- Check if MSW server actually starts in CI
- Verify request interception is working
3. **Mock Server Process**
- Start actual HTTP server in CI instead of MSW
- More reliable but adds complexity
- Would require test infrastructure refactoring
4. **Public Test Instance**
- Use publicly accessible test n8n instance
- Exposes test data, security concerns
- Would work for external PRs
### Decision
**Status**: Documented but not fixed
**Rationale**:
- Integration test infrastructure refactoring is separate concern from code quality
- External PRs are relatively rare compared to internal development
- Unit tests provide sufficient coverage for most changes
- Maintainers can verify integration tests locally before merging
### Testing Strategy
**For External Contributor PRs:**
1. ✅ Unit tests must pass
2. ✅ TypeScript compilation must pass
3. ✅ Build must succeed
4. ⚠️ Integration test failures are expected (infrastructure issue)
5. ✅ Maintainer verifies locally before merge
**For Internal PRs:**
1. ✅ All tests must pass (unit + integration)
2. ✅ Full CI validation
