📋 Decision Context

Question:

How to fix TypeError in syncFlashStateWithSpaceService when universe name is undefined?

Task: Fix Flash State sync TypeError from Testing Director handoff

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Add null-safe fallbacks for u.name in the universe mapping: name defaults to u.id or 'Unnamed Universe', slug uses conditional check before calling toLowerCase()

Options Considered:

• No alternatives documented

💭 Reasoning

The TypeError occurs because SpaceService returns universes with undefined names. The fix adds defensive fallbacks at the mapping layer rather than filtering out nameless universes, since they may still have valid IDs and data. Using u.id as primary fallback maintains traceability.
