Potential fix for https://github.com/vectorMindsAI/vectorMindsAI-v0/security/code-scanning/51

In general, to fix an "assignment to constant" problem resulting from multiple destructurings of the same const variables, you should consolidate the destructuring into a single const declaration that includes all needed properties and default values, and remove the extra/duplicated declaration. This avoids any reassignment or redeclaration of const variables and keeps semantics clear.

For this file, the fix without changing functionality is:

  • Remove the duplicated const { hasError, error } = this.state and const { children, fallback, showDetails = ..., level = ... } = this.props on lines 131–132.
  • Replace the initial destructuring on lines 129–130 with a single consolidated set that includes all needed properties and default values:
    • From this.state: hasError, error, errorInfo, showStackTrace.
    • From this.props: children, fallback, and level (with the desired default).
  • Move showDetails (with its default value of process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') into each render*LevelError() method where it is actually read (renderAppLevelError, renderPageLevelError, renderSectionLevelError, renderComponentLevelError), rather than declaring it unused in render().
  • Ensure we only declare each variable once per scope. The logic afterward (using hasError, error, fallback, level, children, showDetails) will continue to work as before.

All required types and imports are already present; no new methods, definitions, or imports are necessary.

Pull request overview

This PR aims to address code scanning alert #51 (“Assignment to constant”) in the ErrorBoundary component by removing duplicated const destructuring that redeclared the same identifiers in a single scope.

Changes:

  • Removed duplicated destructuring of this.state and this.props in ErrorBoundary.render().
  • Consolidated this.props destructuring into a single declaration that includes defaults for showDetails and level.

showDetails is destructured (with a default) in render() but never used in this method. This creates dead code and can trigger unused-variable linting; consider removing showDetails from this destructuring, or apply the default where showDetails is actually read (e.g., in the render*LevelError() methods that currently do const { showDetails } = this.props).

Suggested change
showDetails = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',

The changes have already been applied in commit 18e0315. showDetails was removed from the render() method's destructuring since it's not used there — it remains destructured directly in each render*LevelError() method where it's actually read.

The PR description says the consolidated props destructuring should include showDetails with a default value, but the updated render() destructuring no longer includes showDetails at all. Either update the PR description to match the actual change, or include showDetails here (if the intent is to apply a default in render()).

Applied in commit 0f163c1. Added showDetails = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' as the default in each render*LevelError() method where showDetails is actually read, so the intended default is preserved without introducing an unused variable in render().
