-### TASK-STATE-01 — Auth Errors Silently Swallowed in `useRegexTester` and `useLogPreview`
-
-**Where found**
-`frontend/src/hooks/useRegexTester.ts` and `frontend/src/hooks/useLogPreview.ts`. Each hook's catch block handles errors only as `err instanceof Error`, which catches `ApiError` (a subclass of `Error`), but does not call `handleFetchError`. The `handleFetchError` utility calls `isAuthError` and returns early without setting UI error text, allowing the global `SESSION_EXPIRED_EVENT` listener in `AuthProvider` to handle the redirect. By bypassing `handleFetchError`, auth errors (401/403) are displayed as UI error text (`err.message`) instead of triggering the session expiry flow.
-
-**Goal**
-Replace the ad-hoc catch blocks in both hooks with `handleFetchError`:
-```ts
-} catch (err: unknown) {
-  if (signal.aborted) return;
-  handleFetchError(err, setError, "Regex test failed");
-}
-```
-`handleFetchError` already imports `isAuthError` and returns early for auth errors, allowing the global handler to take over.
-
-**Possible traps and issues**
-- Confirm that `SESSION_EXPIRED_EVENT` is being listened to in `AuthProvider` and that it triggers navigation to `/login`. It is — this was verified in the architecture review.
-- After the fix, a 401 during a regex test will show no error text (the auth handler navigates away), which is correct behaviour.
-
-**Docs changes needed**
-Add a convention to `Docs/Web-Development.md`: "All hook catch blocks must use `handleFetchError` rather than directly calling `setError`, so auth errors are routed to the session-expiry flow."
-
-**Why this is needed**
-When a session expires while the user is in the Regex Tester, they see a confusing "Unauthorized" error message in the tester UI instead of being cleanly redirected to the login page.
