§ FX-00/error fix index

AI app error fix index — 43 common AI app problems

The symptom-to-fix index for AI-built apps. Forty-three exact-match errors drawn from rescue work across Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Base44, and Replit Agent — now covering Turbopack, Clerk, NextAuth, Prisma pooling, Supabase Realtime and Storage, upstream rate limits, and three AI-builder coding-loop failures (token spirals, regression loops, context loss). Each page maps the error string to the root cause, the code-level fix, and a regression test you can merge.

The Afterbuild Labs /fix index is grouped into four mid-tier topical hubs — payments, auth, deploy, and database — plus a long tail of framework-specific and tool-specific errors. Roughly seventy percent of the production incidents Afterbuild Labs audits trace back to four recurring failure classes: Supabase Row-Level Security policies missing or misconfigured on multi-tenant tables, Stripe webhook handlers that only process checkout.session.completed and ignore invoice.paid, customer.subscription.updated, and customer.subscription.deleted, OAuth redirect URLs still pointing at a preview subdomain after cutover, and environment variables split inconsistently between a local .env file and the Vercel dashboard. Each /fix page names the exact error string, explains the underlying cause in plain prose, gives the copy-paste code-level fix, and ships with a regression test so the same break does not reappear on the next deploy.

§ 01/how the index works

What the AI app error fix index covers

The errors on this page are not random bugs — they are the predictable failure modes of AI-generated code once it hits real traffic, real payments, or a real production environment. Lovable and Bolt scaffold Stripe in test mode and skip webhook signature verification. Cursor regenerates nearby files and breaks shared utilities. Claude Code and v0 wire Supabase clients with the anon key where the service role is required. Each fix page is a root-cause walkthrough of one of those patterns: the exact error string, the commit shape that produced it, the fix, and the regression test.

Start with the category that matches your symptom. If the failure is touching money, read the Payments group — Stripe test-mode lingering in production and webhook signature mismatches are the most common revenue-losing bugs we rescue. If users cannot sign in, that is the Auth group, usually an OAuth redirect URI, a Clerk matcher conflict, or a cross-domain cookie flag. White screen on deploy is the Deploy & Build group, almost always an env var or a Turbopack mismatch. Silent insert failure is the Database group, almost always Supabase RLS or a Prisma connection-pool timeout. The Runtime & Frontend, Integrations, and API & Performance groups cover the long tail — hydration, next/image, Supabase Realtime, and the 429s and function timeouts that only show up under real traffic.

§ 01.5/sub-hub category pages

Browse fixes by category

Four dedicated category hubs group the most-requested fixes. Each hub has its own write-up, FAQ, and linking pattern if you want depth on one failure domain.

§ 02/ai coding loops errors

AI Coding Loops errors in AI-built apps

Failures in the AI coding tool itself — not the app it produced. Token spirals on Cursor and Bolt, regression loops where the agent re-breaks working code on every edit, and context loss as codebases outgrow the model's window.

§ 03/deploy & build errors

Deploy & Build errors in AI-built apps

Works-locally-breaks-in-production failures. Env var scoping, Turbopack errors, middleware mismatches, dynamic-route 404s, and white screens on deploy.

§ 04/auth errors

Auth errors in AI-built apps

Sign-in flows that break under real users. OAuth redirect URIs, cookie Secure/SameSite flags, Clerk redirect loops, NextAuth session drift, cross-domain cookies.

§ FX-07✕ FAIL

OAuth callback URL not working in production

Google or Supabase rejects the callback. Authorized redirect URI still points at localhost or a preview URL.

§ FX-08✕ FAIL

Google OAuth redirect_uri_mismatch

Error 400: redirect_uri_mismatch. Paste the exact production URL into Authorized redirect URIs — scheme, host, path must match.

§ FX-09✕ FAIL

Signup button does nothing

Click, no request, no error. Swallowed Supabase error, missing NEXT_PUBLIC_ env var, or RLS blocking the profile insert.

§ FX-10✕ FAIL

Users can't log in after deploy

Session cookies missing, JWT secret drift, or Supabase Site URL still set to localhost.

§ FX-11✕ FAIL

Password reset email not sending

Supabase default SMTP is rate-limited. Wire Resend, configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC, and stop losing signups.

§ FX-12✕ FAIL

Session expires immediately after login

SameSite=Strict on OAuth, Secure flag over HTTP, or JWT exp in milliseconds instead of seconds.

§ FX-25✕ FAIL

Clerk infinite redirect loop

Every page bounces between /sign-in and the protected route. Middleware matcher conflict, publicRoutes gap, or cookies dropped on a subdomain.

§ FX-26✕ FAIL

NextAuth session undefined in production

useSession returns null for logged-in users. Missing NEXTAUTH_URL, trust-host flag off, or the session cookie blocked by cookie domain mismatch.

§ FX-27✕ FAIL

Cookies not set cross-domain in production

Login sets the cookie, next request drops it. SameSite=Lax on a cross-site POST, missing Secure flag, or a third-party cookie blocked by the browser.

§ 05/payments errors

Payments errors in AI-built apps

Stripe wires AI builders scaffold and leave broken. Webhook signature failures, test-mode drift in production, expired Checkout sessions, missing signing secrets.

§ 06/database errors

Database errors in AI-built apps

Supabase RLS, silent insert failures, N+1 query patterns, Prisma connection-pool timeouts, and failed production migrations.

§ 07/runtime & frontend errors

Runtime & Frontend errors in AI-built apps

UI and runtime fixes that ship most often during rescue. Hydration errors, CORS, Tailwind not applying, next/image failures, App Router stuck loading, Strict Mode double renders.

§ FX-05✕ FAIL

env variables not loading Vercel

process.env.X is undefined after deploy. Missing NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix, wrong environment scope, or a stale cached build.

§ FX-06✕ FAIL

Next.js hydration error in production

Text content did not match. SSR mismatch from Date.now, window access, or a localStorage read on first paint.

§ FX-15✕ FAIL

CORS error in production only

Access-Control-Allow-Origin missing on live domain. Add the origin to Supabase/Clerk allow-list or return it from Next.js middleware.

§ FX-16✕ FAIL

Form submit does nothing

Click, no network request. Missing event.preventDefault, wrong button type, or a swallowed API error.

§ FX-32✕ FAIL

Tailwind CSS not working in production

Styles render in dev, strip out of the production bundle. JIT content globs miss the file, PurgeCSS over-aggressive, or the class is constructed at runtime.

§ FX-33✕ FAIL

Next.js Image not loading in production

next/image returns 400 or a broken icon. Missing domains/remotePatterns entry, oversized width/height pair, or a loader that needs an env-var base URL.

§ FX-34✕ FAIL

API route returns 405 Method Not Allowed

POST to /api/foo returns 405. App Router requires a named export (GET/POST), the method is missing, or the route file is in the wrong segment.

§ FX-35✕ FAIL

React Strict Mode double render

useEffect fires twice, API calls duplicate in dev. Expected in Strict Mode — add an AbortController, idempotency key, or gate effects with a ref.

§ FX-36✕ FAIL

Next.js App Router stuck loading

loading.tsx never resolves. A Suspense boundary waiting on a promise that never settles, a fetch without a timeout, or a server action blocked by an edge-runtime import.

§ 08/integrations errors

Integrations errors in AI-built apps

Third-party service wires that silently break at the edge. Supabase Realtime subscriptions dropping events and Supabase Storage 403s on signed uploads.

§ 09/api & performance errors

API & Performance errors in AI-built apps

API routes and platform limits that tip over under real traffic. 429 rate limits from upstream APIs, Vercel function timeouts, and app crashes under concurrent load.

§ 06/engagement notes

When to read the fix index vs book the error rescue

Each fix page is written so a technical founder or a developer can read the root-cause walkthrough and ship the patch without hiring anyone. Most resolve in 30–90 minutes once the root cause is clear. If you are comfortable reading a diff, running a regression test, and pushing to production, the fix index is usually enough on its own. Every page links to the relevant expert and stack hub if you want to go deeper.

If the failure is revenue-losing, data-leaking, or showing up in front of investors in the next 48 hours, book a rescue. The Emergency Triage service is exactly that window — one bug, 48 hours, $299 fixed price, refund if we miss. For multi-error regression sprints see Break the Fix Loop. For stack-wide coverage read the Supabase fix hub, the Stripe integration fix hub, and the Vercel deploy fix hub.
