CI / Lint, typecheck, test, build (pull_request) Failing after 11s
The bridge was falling back to mock mode with a confusing 'Cannot read properties of null (reading code)' error. The actual underlying error (ECONNREFUSED, timeout, protocol mismatch) was being swallowed by our error handler that did `(e as Error).message` on a value that was sometimes null. Wrap the kRPC client connect() in per-step try/catch with a formatErr() helper that handles: - null / undefined - strings - Error with .code (NodeJS.ErrnoException) - arbitrary objects (JSON.stringify fallback) Now when the bridge can't reach kRPC you get a real error like 'kRPC RPC TCP connect to 127.0.0.1:50000 failed: code=ECONNREFUSED: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:50000' instead of the cryptic null-code message. Also fixed the bridge's main() error handler to be null-safe. Discovered while debugging the user's first end-to-end run on Windows: kRPC was reachable (Test-NetConnection succeeded) but the bridge couldn't complete the handshake. With this fix we'll see the real failure mode on the next attempt.
