Summary

Closes #431. Credit to @skweeker for isolating the actual root cause via a targeted curl test — removing only the Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin header from an otherwise-identical captured browser request reproduced the empty response; restoring it fixed it.

goal-service/goal/goals requires that fetch-metadata header for newer goal types (custom accumulation goals with a date range, created through the current Connect UI). Without it the endpoint returns 200 [] — no error to catch, just silently empty, which is why get_goals("active") returning [] looked identical to "no active goals" even though the goal was visible and active in the Connect UI.

Browsers always send Sec-Fetch-* headers on same-origin fetches automatically; this client doesn't send any of them otherwise, since it presents as a native/API client rather than a browser page.

Fix

get_goals() now sends Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin explicitly. Scoped to this one method rather than applied globally, since it's the only endpoint confirmed to need it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Goal results now include newer custom accumulation goals with date ranges.
    • Goal retrieval works correctly across all paginated results.

Closes #431. goal-service/goal/goals requires the Sec-Fetch-Site:
same-origin fetch-metadata header for newer goal types (custom
accumulation goals with a date range, created via the current Connect
UI) - without it the endpoint returns [] with a 200, no error to catch.
Browsers always send this on a same-origin XHR; this client doesn't
send any Sec-Fetch-* headers otherwise.

Root cause isolated by @skweeker via curl - removing only that one
header from an otherwise-identical captured browser request reproduced
the empty response; restoring it fixed it.

Walkthrough

get_goals now sends Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin on each paginated goal request. Unit tests verify the header and update the mock callback to accept request headers.

Assert the header on every paginated request. get_goals() calls connectapi in a pagination loop, but this test returns [] immediately. It therefore records only one request. A later request that omits Sec-Fetch-Site: same-origin could pass. Return multiple pages and assert the header for every call in mock.call_args_list.
