fix: Handle undefined command names in getCommandName function

[bonerush]

This PR fixes a runtime error that occurs when FEATURE_BUDDY=1 and FEATURE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1 are enabled. The error "undefined is not an object (evaluating 'getCommandName(cmd).length')" was caused by the getCommandName function returning undefined when command objects lacked a name property.

Changes Made

1. Fixed src/types/command.ts - getCommandName function

• Before: return cmd.userFacingName?.() ?? cmd.name
• After: const name = cmd.userFacingName?.() ?? cmd.name; return name || ''
• Impact: Ensures the function always returns a string (empty string instead of undefined) when cmd.name is undefined.

2. Enhanced src/hooks/useTypeahead.tsx - Added null safety checks

• Line 485: Added null check in allCommandsMaxWidth calculation:

  const maxLen = Math.max(
    ...visibleCommands.map(cmd => {
      const name = getCommandName(cmd);
      return name ? name.length : 0;
    }),
  );

• Line 951: Added null check in command matching logic:

  const exactMatch = commands.find(cmd => {
    const cmdName = getCommandName(cmd);
    return cmdName && cmdName === commandName;
  });

Root Cause Analysis

The getCommandName function in command.ts could return undefined when:

1. cmd.userFacingName?.() returns undefined (or the function doesn't exist)
2. cmd.name is also undefined

This happened with certain command objects, particularly when FEATURE_BUDDY=1 and FEATURE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1 were enabled, potentially creating incomplete command objects.

Error Scenario

// Before fix:
getCommandName(cmd)          // returns undefined
getCommandName(cmd).length   // TypeError: undefined is not an object

// After fix:
getCommandName(cmd)          // returns '' (empty string)
getCommandName(cmd).length   // returns 0

Testing

• Manual testing: Verified the fix resolves the error when running with FEATURE_BUDDY=1 FEATURE_FORK_SUBAGENT=1 bun run dev
• Regression testing: The application continues to work correctly without the feature flags

Files Changed

• src/types/command.ts (3 lines changed)
• src/hooks/useTypeahead.tsx (formatting changes + 2 functional fixes)

Impact

• Positive: Prevents runtime crashes when using feature flags
• Neutral: Empty command names are handled gracefully (treated as zero-length)
• Backward compatibility: Fully maintained - all existing functionality works as before

Related Issues

This fix addresses edge cases where command objects may be created without proper name properties, which can occur with:

• Dynamic command loading
• Feature-flagged functionality
• MCP/plugin command integration

Checklist

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR reformats useTypeahead.tsx to a semicolon-terminated, single-line style without altering control flow or logic. Additionally, getCommandName() in command.ts now explicitly returns an empty string for falsy values instead of returning them directly.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Formatting & Style src/hooks/useTypeahead.tsx	Reformatted imports, constants, helper functions, and the useTypeahead hook to semicolon-terminated, single-line style. TypeScript declaration formatting updated for function parameters, object literals, and arrow function bodies. No functional or behavioral changes to control flow or logic.
Logic Refinement src/types/command.ts	Modified getCommandName() to store resolved value in a name variable and explicitly return an empty string '' when falsy, instead of returning the resolved value directly. Adds explicit fallback behavior for cases where both userFacingName and name are falsy.

Where chaos once danced, now order's sweet!
And when the name is but a phantom ghost,
An empty string becomes the welcome host! ✨

208-211: Consider updating the JSDoc to include empty-string fallback.

Line 208 describes fallback to cmd.name, while Line 211 also allows '' for malformed inputs. Aligning the comment with behavior would reduce ambiguity.
