Fixed password reset hanging when the notification email fails - #30699

Conversation
fixes TryGhost#30525 generateResetToken awaited sendResetNotification before responding, so a slow or failing mail transport blocked the request instead of just failing to deliver the email. POST /authentication/password_reset hits this directly, and /session hits the same code path internally when a locked-out admin tries to sign in, which is why the report shows both endpoints timing out after key rotation invalidated the admin's session. Sending is now fire-and-forget with the error logged, matching how the welcome email is already sent a few lines above. Added a regression test that stubs the mailer to reject and asserts the request still returns 200.

WalkthroughThe password reset endpoint now sends notification email without waiting for delivery. It logs delivery errors and returns an empty response object. End-to-end tests mock mail delivery, verify successful responses when sending fails or remains pending, and poll for asynchronous email delivery assertions. Suggested reviewers: Priority: ➖ Normal Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to Password reset requests are covered for both rejected and indefinitely stalled notification delivery, so notification problems no longer block the reset response. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 6✅ Passed checks (6 passed)

no ref The first test only proved an immediately-rejecting mailer doesn't break the response. This adds coverage for a transport that never settles at all, asserting the response still returns quickly instead of waiting on it -- the actual shape of the reported 504s.

Added a test for the actual stalled-transport case (mailer never resolves, response still returns quickly) rather than just the immediate-rejection case. |

Hi @coderabbitai — wanted to surface this one — CI's green, mergeable, and it's been quiet for a while. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help it along. |

Tip For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.
The stalled-transport regression test covers the reported timeout path. The asynchronous error handling also covers notification failures without blocking password-reset responses. You are interacting with an AI system. |

Closes #30525
generateResetTokenawaitedsendResetNotificationbefore responding, so a slow or failing mail transport blocked the whole request instead of just failing to deliver the email.POST /authentication/password_resethits this directly, and/sessionhits the same code internally when a locked-out admin tries to sign in — which is why the linked issue shows both endpoints timing out after key rotation invalidated the admin's session and forced a password reset.Sending is now fire-and-forget with the error logged, matching how the welcome email a few lines above is already sent. Added a regression test in
authentication.test.jsthat stubs the mailer to reject and asserts the request still returns 200; also switched two existing tests in the same file from a synchronous assertion to a small polling helper, since the email side effect is no longer guaranteed to finish before the response comes back.
