Research direction

Start by inspecting the Bugzilla REST comment request for bug 1714247 and reproduce the failure in browser DevTools. Compare the response and request behavior for the reported URL, including 429 responses and the CORS error. Done means the dashboard handles this response reliably, with the expected behavior verified in the relevant request flow.

Description

blocked

The issue is with "Assigned without recent activity" (under Stalled & Longstanding) for my security components.

DevTools logging says

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/bug/1714247/comment?new_since=2024-10-31. (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null).

However loading the URL https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/rest/bug/1714247/comment?new_since=2024-10-31 does get me a access-allow-origin response header.

I am not entirely sure who's at fault though.
