Conversation
Three sites folded failures into empty results indistinguishable from genuine emptiness: - clone.rs encrypted-blobs list fetch: a non-2xx or transport error silently returned no recovered paths; now warns via emit_warning, matching the per-blob stage in the same function. - clone.rs arweave fallback: unwrap_or_default() became unwrap_or_else that warns, matching the node-recovery arm directly above it. - changelog handler: store::log failures now return a git error and list_prs failures propagate (503 when the pool is unreachable) instead of answering 200 with an empty timeline. store::log itself only returns empty when the ref genuinely does not resolve: a ref that resolves but fails to log is a read failure, not an empty repo. Closes #400.

Greptile SummaryThe PR makes clone recovery failures visible as warnings and propagates changelog Git/database failures instead of silently returning empty results.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR should not merge until The main silent-error paths are improved, but damaged ref or repository metadata can still make both Git commands fail and be returned as a successful empty history, leaving the central changelog bug incomplete.

| Filename | Overview |
|---|---|
| crates/gitlawb-node/src/git/store.rs | Adds failed-log classification via rev-parse, but conflates missing refs with failures that make the repository or ref unreadable. |
| crates/gitlawb-node/src/api/changelog.rs | Propagates Git and database read failures and adds endpoint coverage for corrupt, unavailable, healthy, and empty states. |
| crates/gl/src/clone.rs | Routes newly handled recovery failures through visible, sanitized warnings while preserving best-effort clone behavior. |

When git log fails, this code treats every unsuccessful rev-parse result as proof that the ref is absent. If repository damage makes the HEAD or ref metadata unreadable, both commands fail and store::log returns an empty history. The changelog can then return a misleading 200 response instead of reporting the degraded store. Please distinguish a genuinely missing or unborn ref from repository and ref-read failures.

- Around line 154-158: Update the ref-resolution handling around resolved so
only a confirmed missing ref returns an empty history. Propagate repository or
command failures from the resolution probe, including invalid repository
configuration, instead of converting them to Ok(vec![]). Add a regression test
covering an invalid repository and asserting the failure is returned.

Summary
Four sites folded failures into empty results indistinguishable from genuine emptiness: two silent recovery degrades in
gl cloneand two folds in the changelog endpoint that turned a degraded repo or DB into a 200 with an empty timeline.Motivation & context
Closes #400
A caller cannot tell "nothing recovered" from "recovery failed" or "no events" from "the store could not be read". The clone paths keep best-effort behavior but now warn; the endpoint now errors.

What changed
