AutopilotMonitor/tools/error-codes

Error-code catalog generator

generate.mjs rebuilds src/Shared/AutopilotMonitor.Shared/Resources/error-codes.json (schemaVersion 2) from primary sources and refreshes the web copy through src/Web/autopilot-monitor-web/scripts/sync-error-codes.js. The catalog is never edited by hand: a wrong or missing entry is fixed in the generator (a source, a pin, a family rule) and regenerated, so the next regeneration cannot lose the fix.

IME_ENUMS_JSON=<path> node tools/error-codes/generate.mjs [--cache-dir DIR] [--check]

• IME_ENUMS_JSON — enum extract of one Intune Management Extension build (imeVersion, customErrorCodes, enforcementStates, msiRetriableErrorCodes, deliveryOptimization). Produced by operator tooling; the generator only reads the JSON.
• --cache-dir DIR — keeps the fetched pages as files for offline reruns.
• --check — exits 1 when the committed catalog differs from the generator output.

Entry shape

Field	Meaning
key	lowercase 8-digit hex (0x80070005) or a decimal MSI exit code (1603). Decimal keys exist only for 0, 1601–1654 and 3010: exit codes of other installers are author-defined. Win32 codes live only as 0x8007xxxx; a HRESULT_FROM_WIN32 value whose low word is in the MSI range resolves to the decimal entry at lookup time (derivedFromWin32).
description	one line, taken from the source (see rules below)
confidence	high = MS Learn table/page or the IME build named in source; medium = paraphrase of an enum member name or of an analysis rule; low = carried over from the v1 catalog without a primary source
source	msdoc:<learn.microsoft.com URL> · ime:<version> · winerror.h · rule:<RULE-ID> · legacy-catalog-v1
category	msi win32 com appx windows-update cbs intune-win32 intune-mobile mdm-enrollment autopilot entra-join delivery-optimization
symbol	optional: the winerror.h/WU/AppX symbol, or the IME enum member name
imeRetriesDuringEsp	optional: one of the MSI return codes the IME retries automatically during the Autopilot ESP

enforcementStates is a second map: IME app enforcement state number → { name, description }.

Sources and family rules

Families are processed in this order; the first family that yields a key wins and later duplicates are reported on stderr.

Family	Source	Rule
win32	System Error Codes (per-range pages), WinHTTP error messages	Seed = codes seen in the field (WIN32_FIELD_SEEN) ∪ the IME MSI-retry list ∪ every 0x8007xxxx code another family names, minus the MSI decimal range and the AppX page's own range. Symbol and text verbatim. A seed code the reference does not list fails the run.
msi	Windows Installer error codes	Rows in the MSI decimal range only; verbatim.
com	winerror.h	Hand-listed HRESULTs that are not Win32-derived (S_OK, E_FAIL, E_UNEXPECTED, HTTP/RPC status HRESULTs the Delivery Optimization client names).
appx	Troubleshooting packaging, deployment, and query of Windows apps	Whole table; first sentence of the cell. Authority for its own 0x80073Cxx/0x80073Dxx range.
windows-update	Windows Update error codes by component	Sections an enrollment can meet (agent core, handlers, download manager, protocol talker, data store, drivers, MSI handler, agent setup, AU client); verbatim.
windows-update / cbs	Windows Update common errors	One table per single-code heading; symbol = text before ; in the Message cell, description = text after it, else the Description cell. 0x800F… → cbs.
intune-mobile / intune-win32	Intune app installation error codes	iOS/iPadOS and Windows tables (Android skipped); description = the message cell.
mdm-enrollment / autopilot / entra-join	Windows enrollment errors, Autopilot known issues	Prose pages: one-sentence paraphrase listed in PROSE_ENTRIES; the generator asserts the code appears on the page. Codes only our analysis rules name carry rule: and medium.
intune-win32 (0x87D3xxxx)	IME CustomErrorCodes enum	Member name as symbol, humanised as description, medium. Two known sign/digit defects in the enum source are corrected by IME_ENUM_FIXUPS; a build that fixes them makes the run fail so the fixup is removed.
delivery-optimization (0x80D0xxxx)	IME DeliveryOptimizationConstants	Member name as symbol, humanised, medium.
legacy	v1 catalog	Entries no primary source covers, low.

Description rules: whole sentences up to 200 characters, cross-reference sentences ("For more information, see …") dropped, no trailing period. DESCRIPTION_PINS holds the few wordings consumers depend on (each says the same as the source row it replaces).

Regeneration checklist

1. Run the generator (with --cache-dir when iterating).
2. Read the stderr summary: entry count per family, dropped duplicates.
3. git diff the catalog; a removed key needs a reason (the C#, web and MCP tests pin the keys the product relies on).
4. Spot-check ten random entries per family against the source page.
5. Build and run the Backend, Web and MCP test suites.
