Note for reviewers - Please add a 2nd reviewer if the PR affects more than 15 files or 100 lines (not counting
package-lock.json), if it incurs significant risk, or if it is going through a 2nd review+fix cycle.

📚 Context/Description Behind The Change

Reviewing the original JS code (converted to TS in this PR) we always encode when shouldSecondarySortOnId is true.

With the new guard the branch is silently skipped whenever the cursor object isn’t a plain object that passes the guard.

Two common scenarios fail:

  1. Mongoose documents / BSON objects – they are special objects whose prototype sometimes hides properties from the in operator.
  2. A second call to prepareResponse on the same response (e.g., in tests) – after the first run previous/next are strings, so the second run will now bail out and leave them as raw objects, breaking callers that expect strings.

🚨 Potential Risks & What To Monitor After Deployment

We need to test any usages of this method

🧑‍🔬 How Has This Been Tested?

  • Unit tests
  • will test by importing service tasks and testing issue in PLAT-186

Walkthrough

A new utility function, isPlainObject, was introduced to check if a value is a plain object, excluding arrays, class instances, and special objects like Dates or BSON. The encodePaginationTokens function was updated to utilize this check, ensuring that only plain objects are encoded as pagination tokens. The encoding logic within this function was also refactored to use a single ternary expression, simplifying the decision-making process for encoding tokens based on the presence of a secondary sort and the _id field. No changes were made to the function parameters or overall control flow.

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

52-52: Consider improving type safety by avoiding as any.

The as any type assertion bypasses TypeScript's type checking. Consider defining a more specific type for the response object or using a type that better represents the expected structure.

-    } as any;
+    };

If the TypeScript compiler requires explicit typing, consider creating a specific interface or using a more precise type annotation instead of as any.


41-41: Consider adding a test comment for clarity.

The test name is descriptive, but adding a brief comment explaining why this scenario was previously problematic would provide helpful context for future maintainers.

+  // This test verifies the fix for the issue where encoding was silently skipped

41-59: Excellent test coverage for the reported bug scenario.

This test case directly addresses the core issue described in the PR objectives where encoding was silently skipped for plain objects lacking _id fields. The test logic correctly verifies that cursors containing only the paginated field are properly encoded.
