Build the GraphQL Response Normalizer, Error Handler, and HTTP Request template as utility nodes in the main workflow.

Purpose: Phase 16 (API Migration) needs to transform Unraid GraphQL responses into the Docker API contract that 60+ existing Code nodes expect. The normalizer ensures zero changes to downstream nodes. The error handler standardizes GraphQL error checking (response.errors[] array) with equivalent HTTP status codes. The HTTP template provides correctly-configured timeout and retry settings for the myunraid.net cloud relay.

Output: Three new utility nodes in n8n-workflow.json: GraphQL Response Normalizer, GraphQL Error Handler, Unraid API HTTP Template.

@.planning/PROJECT.md @.planning/ROADMAP.md @.planning/STATE.md @ARCHITECTURE.md @.planning/phases/15-infrastructure-foundation/15-RESEARCH.md @.planning/phases/14-unraid-api-access/14-02-SUMMARY.md Task 1: Add GraphQL Response Normalizer utility node n8n-workflow.json Add a new Code node named "GraphQL Response Normalizer" to n8n-workflow.json. This is a **standalone utility node** -- do NOT connect it to any existing nodes. Place it at position [200, 2600] (below the registry nodes from Plan 01).

The node must implement a normalizeContainers(graphqlResponse) function that transforms Unraid GraphQL API responses to match the Docker API contract used by existing workflow nodes.

CRITICAL field mappings based on ARCHITECTURE.md verified schema:

Unraid GraphQL format (from Phase 14 verification):

{
  "data": {
    "docker": {
      "containers": [
        { "id": "server_hash:container_hash", "names": ["/n8n"], "state": "RUNNING" }
      ]
    }
  }
}

Docker API format (expected by existing nodes):

{ "Id": "abc123...", "Names": ["/n8n"], "State": "running", "Status": "running" }

Normalization rules:

  1. Id: Copy from Unraid id (keep the full PrefixedID -- downstream will use Container ID Registry for translation)
  2. Names: Copy from Unraid names array as-is (Phase 14 verified they already have / prefix)
  3. State: Convert Unraid UPPERCASE to lowercase ("RUNNING" -> "running", "STOPPED" -> "exited" to match Docker convention)
  4. Status: Set to same as State (Docker has separate Status field, set to normalized state value)
  5. Image: Set to "" (not available in basic Unraid query, add when schema is extended)
  6. _unraidId: Preserve original Unraid PrefixedID for debugging

State mapping (Unraid -> Docker equivalents):

  • RUNNING -> running
  • STOPPED -> exited
  • PAUSED -> paused
  • Default: lowercase the value

Validation:

  • If graphqlResponse.errors exists, throw with error messages joined
  • If graphqlResponse.data?.docker?.containers is missing, throw "Invalid GraphQL response structure"

Input/output contract:

  • Input: $input.item.json is the raw GraphQL response object
  • Output: Array of items, each { json: normalizedContainer } (n8n multi-item output format)

Add notes: "UTILITY: Transform Unraid GraphQL response to Docker API contract. Not connected - Phase 16 will wire this in."

Node properties:

  • id: "code-graphql-normalizer"
  • name: "GraphQL Response Normalizer"
  • type: "n8n-nodes-base.code"
  • typeVersion: 2 Run: python3 -c " import json wf = json.load(open('n8n-workflow.json')) nodes = {n['name']: n for n in wf['nodes']} norm = nodes.get('GraphQL Response Normalizer') print('EXISTS' if norm else 'MISSING') if norm: code = norm['parameters'].get('jsCode', '') print('Has normalizeContainers:', 'normalizeContainers' in code) print('Has State mapping:', 'RUNNING' in code and 'running' in code) print('Has STOPPED->exited:', 'STOPPED' in code and 'exited' in code) print('Has Names pass-through:', 'Names' in code) print('Has error check:', 'errors' in code) print('Has _unraidId:', '_unraidId' in code) " GraphQL Response Normalizer Code node exists with normalizeContainers() function that maps Unraid fields (id, names, state) to Docker fields (Id, Names, State), handles UPPERCASE->lowercase state conversion, validates response structure, and is not connected to any other nodes.
Task 2: Add GraphQL Error Handler and Unraid API HTTP Template nodes n8n-workflow.json Add two new utility nodes to n8n-workflow.json. These are **standalone utility nodes** -- do NOT connect them to any existing nodes.

Node 1: GraphQL Error Handler (Code node)

id: "code-graphql-error-handler" name: "GraphQL Error Handler" Position: [600, 2600]

Implement a checkGraphQLErrors(response) function that:

  1. Check GraphQL errors array:

    • If response.errors exists and has entries, examine first error
    • Extract error.extensions?.code and error.message
    • Map error codes to HTTP equivalents:
      • ALREADY_IN_STATE -> { statusCode: 304, alreadyInState: true, message } (matches Docker API statusCode === 304 pattern used in n8n-actions.json)
      • NOT_FOUND -> throw Container not found: ${message}
      • FORBIDDEN / UNAUTHORIZED -> throw Permission denied: ${message}. Check API key permissions.
      • Any other code -> throw Unraid API error: ${message}
  2. Check HTTP-level errors:

    • If response.statusCode >= 400: throw HTTP ${statusCode}: ${statusMessage}
  3. Check missing data:

    • If no response.data: throw GraphQL response missing data field
  4. Success return:

    • { statusCode: 200, alreadyInState: false, data: response.data }
  5. Input/output contract:

    • Input: $input.item.json is the raw response from HTTP Request node
    • Output: { json: { success, statusCode, alreadyInState, message, data } }
    • On alreadyInState: true: success: true, message: "Container already in desired state"
    • On error: throw (n8n error handling catches it)
    • On success: success: true, data: response.data

Add notes: "UTILITY: Standardized GraphQL error checking. Maps ALREADY_IN_STATE to HTTP 304. Not connected - Phase 16 will wire this in."

Node 2: Unraid API HTTP Template (HTTP Request node)

id: "http-unraid-api-template" name: "Unraid API HTTP Template" Position: [1000, 2600]

This is an n8n HTTP Request node pre-configured for Unraid GraphQL API calls. It serves as a copy-paste template for Phase 16 -- when migrating each API call, duplicate this node and update the query body.

Configuration:

{
  "method": "POST",
  "url": "={{ $env.UNRAID_HOST }}/graphql",
  "authentication": "genericCredentialType",
  "genericAuthType": "none",
  "sendHeaders": true,
  "headerParameters": {
    "parameters": [
      { "name": "Content-Type", "value": "application/json" },
      { "name": "x-api-key", "value": "={{ $env.UNRAID_API_KEY }}" }
    ]
  },
  "sendBody": true,
  "specifyBody": "json",
  "jsonBody": "={\"query\": \"query { docker { containers { id names state } } }\"}",
  "options": {
    "timeout": 15000,
    "allowUnauthorizedCerts": true,
    "response": {
      "response": {
        "fullResponse": true
      }
    }
  },
  "onError": "continueRegularOutput"
}

Key settings rationale:

  • 15000ms timeout: myunraid.net cloud relay adds 200-500ms latency (Phase 14 research). 15s provides safety margin for slow operations (container start/stop can take 3-5s + relay overhead).
  • allowUnauthorizedCerts: true: Matches Phase 14 verified configuration.
  • genericAuthType: none + manual x-api-key header: Phase 14 decision -- environment variables more reliable than n8n Header Auth credentials.
  • onError: continueRegularOutput: Allows downstream Code node (GraphQL Error Handler) to check errors instead of n8n catching them.
  • fullResponse: true: Returns statusCode, statusMessage alongside body for HTTP-level error checking.

Add notes: "TEMPLATE: Pre-configured HTTP Request for Unraid GraphQL API. 15s timeout for cloud relay. Duplicate and modify query for Phase 16 migration."

After adding all nodes, push the updated workflow to n8n using the push recipe from CLAUDE.md. Verify total node count is previous + 3 (from Plan 01) + 3 (from this plan) = original + 6. Run: `python3 -c " import json wf = json.load(open('n8n-workflow.json')) nodes = {n['name']: n for n in wf['nodes']}

Check Error Handler

eh = nodes.get('GraphQL Error Handler') print('Error Handler:', 'EXISTS' if eh else 'MISSING') if eh: code = eh['parameters'].get('jsCode', '') print(' Has checkGraphQLErrors:', 'checkGraphQLErrors' in code) print(' Has ALREADY_IN_STATE:', 'ALREADY_IN_STATE' in code) print(' Has 304:', '304' in code) print(' Has NOT_FOUND:', 'NOT_FOUND' in code) print(' Has FORBIDDEN:', 'FORBIDDEN' in code)

Check HTTP Template

ht = nodes.get('Unraid API HTTP Template') print('HTTP Template:', 'EXISTS' if ht else 'MISSING') if ht: params = ht.get('parameters', {}) print(' Has timeout 15000:', '15000' in json.dumps(params)) print(' Has UNRAID_HOST:', 'UNRAID_HOST' in json.dumps(params)) print(' Has UNRAID_API_KEY:', 'UNRAID_API_KEY' in json.dumps(params)) print(' Has continueRegularOutput:', ht.get('onError') == 'continueRegularOutput' or 'continueRegularOutput' in json.dumps(params))

print('Total nodes:', len(wf['nodes']))

Verify no connections for new utility nodes

conn = wf.get('connections', {}) for name in ['GraphQL Response Normalizer', 'GraphQL Error Handler', 'Unraid API HTTP Template']: has_outgoing = name in conn print(f'{name}: outgoing connections = {has_outgoing}') "` GraphQL Error Handler Code node exists with checkGraphQLErrors() function that maps ALREADY_IN_STATE to HTTP 304 equivalent, handles NOT_FOUND/FORBIDDEN/UNAUTHORIZED errors. Unraid API HTTP Template node exists with 15-second timeout, correct auth headers, and continueRegularOutput error handling. Neither node is connected. Workflow pushed to n8n.

1. Three new utility nodes exist: GraphQL Response Normalizer, GraphQL Error Handler, Unraid API HTTP Template 2. Normalizer correctly maps Unraid fields to Docker API contract (id->Id, UPPERCASE->lowercase state, names preserved) 3. Error Handler maps ALREADY_IN_STATE to 304 (matches Docker API pattern in n8n-actions.json) 4. HTTP Template has 15-second timeout, x-api-key header via env var, continueRegularOutput 5. None of the three nodes have connections to/from other nodes (standalone utilities) 6. Workflow JSON is valid and pushed to n8n 7. Combined with Plan 01, total of 6 new utility nodes added to workflow

<success_criteria>

  • GraphQL response normalization transforms Unraid API shape to match Docker API contract exactly
  • State values properly converted (RUNNING->running, STOPPED->exited)
  • GraphQL error handling checks response.errors[] and maps to HTTP status codes
  • ALREADY_IN_STATE maps to 304 (same pattern as Docker API's HTTP 304 for "already started/stopped")
  • HTTP template has 15-second timeout for myunraid.net cloud relay latency
  • Six standalone utility nodes total (3 from Plan 01 + 3 from Plan 02) ready for Phase 16 </success_criteria>
