Suppress exact Firefox removeChild noise

[ross0x01]

Summary

• suppress the exact Firefox Node.removeChild DOM mutation exception already proven to be harmless React/browser reconciliation noise
• retain near-matching and unknown DOM exceptions for investigation
• freeze a date-sensitive checkout recommendation test so the repository gate is deterministic at month end

Production evidence

Frozen audit window: 2026-08-30T20:02:18Z to 2026-08-31T20:02:18Z.

PostHog recorded four occurrences across three split issues for:

NotFoundError: Node.removeChild: The node to be removed is not a child of this node

The representative sample was Firefox chat traffic and matched the semantics of the existing exact React DOM mutation allowlist. No application frames or evidence of state loss were present. The filter is exact-string only; an adversarial near-match remains captured.

The broader audit found no other sufficiently attributable application defect for a safe code change. Provider 4xx/5xx failures, persistence failures, stack overflows, payment/auth failures, and unknown exceptions remain visible.

Root cause and change

This is a Firefox spelling of the same benign DOM reconciliation race already filtered for Chromium/WebKit messages. Add only the observed exact message to the existing set and cover both the positive match and a near-match negative case.

The unrelated checkout test had embedded a calendar-dependent weekly spend expectation. It deterministically failed on August 31, so the test now freezes Date.now to its original fixture date without changing production behavior.

Validation

• focused Jest: 36/36
• full commit hook: 422 suites, 4,447 tests
• TypeScript typecheck
• ESLint and Prettier
• git diff --check
• adversarial review: exact message boundary, all callers, alternate paths, privacy, deployment skew, and non-suppression of near matches

Manual verification

Automated validation is sufficient. This changes only client-side exception filtering and has exact positive/negative regression coverage.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Reduced noise from expected React DOM mutation errors in frontend exception reporting.
  • Continued reporting similar errors when they may indicate unavailable application state.

• Tests

  • Improved checkout-resume test reliability with a fixed timestamp during execution.
  • Improved test cleanup by automatically restoring mocked timers and other test mocks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request centralizes Jest mock cleanup for the checkout-resume test and adds filtering and regression coverage for specific React DOM Node.removeChild exceptions.

Changes

Test and exception handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Deterministic checkout-resume test app/components/__tests__/MessageErrorState.test.tsx	An afterEach hook restores Jest mocks after each test. The checkout-resume test keeps its fixed Date.now() mock without manual restoration.
React DOM exception filtering lib/posthog/expected-frontend-exceptions.ts, lib/posthog/__tests__/expected-frontend-exceptions.test.ts	The expected-exception allowlist drops the exact Node.removeChild browser error. Regression coverage confirms that a related application-state message remains retained.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d5104

The PR narrowly suppresses one verified harmless Firefox DOM reconciliation exception while preserving near-matches and unknown errors, and makes a date-sensitive test deterministic without changing production behavior. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
