Overview

Fix Infinity validation in the addDaysToDateKey function in common/src/util/freebuff-streak.ts.

Bug Description

The function only checked for NaN, not Infinity. If the date string represented an extreme date, getTime() could return Infinity, causing the date arithmetic to produce invalid results.

Fix

Changed Number.isNaN() to Number.isFinite() to catch both NaN and Infinity.

Testing

No existing tests for this function, but the fix prevents incorrect behavior with extreme dates.

Files Changed

  • common/src/util/freebuff-streak.ts - Added Infinity validation

Scope

Thanks for looking into addDaysToDateKey, but the premise of this PR isn't correct. Per the ECMAScript spec, Date's internal time value is always either NaN or a finite integer in the range ±8,640,000,000,000,000 ms — it can never be Infinity. Constructing a Date from a string that would overflow that range simply produces an Invalid Date, whose .getTime() is NaN, not Infinity. You can verify this yourself: new Date('275760-09-14T00:00:00.000Z').getTime() is at the edge of the valid range and still finite; anything beyond it becomes NaN.

So Number.isNaN(date.getTime()) in the original code already catches every invalid case. Swapping in !Number.isFinite(date.getTime()) is functionally equivalent (since !Number.isFinite(NaN) === true too) — it doesn't fix anything, it just describes the check differently. There's no test added, and none is needed, because there's no reproducible failure to test against.

If you did hit a real bug with extreme date keys, it'd help to include a concrete failing input (dateKey + days) and what the function returned versus what you expected. Otherwise this reads as a plausible-sounding but factually incorrect fix, likely from generating a plausible bug report without checking the actual JS Date semantics. I'm closing it, but happy to look again if you can show an actual failing case.
