Summary of What Needs to be Done
src/utils/jsonUtils.js — the safeParseJson function uses if (!jsonString) return fallback;. The ! (falsy) check incorrectly rejects valid JSON primitive strings like "false", "0", and "null" because those values are falsy in JavaScript.
Changes
Change the guard from if (!jsonString) to if (jsonString === null || jsonString === undefined), preserving JSON primitive strings as valid inputs that should be parsed.
Impact
- Silent data loss: Valid JSON strings that happen to be primitive values (
"false", "0", "null") are silently discarded and replaced with the fallback, which could cause bugs in code that expects those parsed values.
- This is a semantic bug — the function claims to safely parse JSON but actually destroys valid input.
Please assign this task to me.
