🎉 SkyArtShop - Complete System Fix Report

Date: January 13, 2026
Status: ALL ISSUES RESOLVED
Verification: Complete


📋 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The SkyArtShop application experienced critical syntax errors on January 4, 2026, causing server crash loops. All issues have been identified, fixed, and verified. The system is now stable and fully operational.


🔴 PROBLEM IDENTIFIED

Issue: Server Crash Loop Due to Syntax Errors

Timeline:

  • January 4, 2026: Multiple syntax errors introduced
  • Duration: Several hours of instability with 100+ PM2 restarts
  • Impact: Complete site downtime, API unavailable

Symptoms:

  • Server restarting every 1-2 seconds
  • "Cannot set headers after they are sent" errors
  • "Unexpected token" syntax errors
  • Admin panel and frontend inaccessible

🎯 ROOT CAUSE

Three backend files contained critical syntax errors:

1. /backend/middleware/apiOptimization.js

  • Line 235: Uncommented text SAFEGUARD: Enhanced validation
  • Line 321: Missing closing brace
  • Line 340: Unexpected end of input

2. /backend/middleware/cache.js

  • Line 56: Malformed template literal }${key} instead of ${key}

3. /backend/routes/public.js

  • Line 135: SQL query syntax error with parentheses

SOLUTION IMPLEMENTED

Fix #1: apiOptimization.js

  • Removed uncommented text causing "Unexpected identifier"
  • Added proper comment markers for SAFEGUARD notes
  • Closed all function braces correctly
  • Verified proper module.exports structure

Fix #2: cache.js

  • Fixed template literal syntax in logger statements
  • Changed }${key} to proper ${key} format
  • Validated all template strings throughout file

Fix #3: public.js

  • Fixed SQL query parentheses matching
  • Corrected JSON aggregation syntax
  • Verified PostgreSQL query structure

Added npm run syntax-check to validate all JavaScript files

3. PM2 Restart Protection

Configured max_restarts and min_uptime in ecosystem.config.js

4. Enhanced Logging

Winston logger already in place for better error tracking

5. Error Monitoring

All errors logged to /backend/logs/error.log with timestamps
