When networkErrorCount or serverErrorCount reaches maxRetries, calculateBackoffDelay produced a fixed short delay instead of respecting the user's configured reloadInterval. Skip backoff once retries are exhausted and use reloadInterval directly. Both network and server error paths now use the same calculateBackoffDelay strategy for consistency.
- Extract URL truncation into private #shortenUrl() method - Use #shortenUrl() consistently in all log messages - Merge duplicate networkErrorCount >= maxRetries checks into a single if/else block that handles both delay calculation and logging - Replace logFn.call(Log, ...) with explicit if/else for clarity - Remove redundant inline JSDoc for error event
Verify that both network and server errors fall back to reloadInterval after maxRetries is reached, and that error counts reset on success.

## Release Notes Thanks to: @cgillinger, @khassel, @KristjanESPERANTO, @sonnyb9 >⚠️ This release needs nodejs version >=22.21.1 <23 || >=24 (no change to previous release) [Compare to previous Release v2.35.0](v2.35.0...v2.36.0) This release falls outside the quarterly schedule. We opted for an early release due to: - Security fix for the internal cors proxy - API change of the weather provider smi - Several bug fixes ### Breaking Changes The cors proxy is now disabled by default. If required, it must be explicitly enabled in the `config.js` file. See the [documentation](https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/cors.html). ###⚠️ Security You can find several publicly accessible MagicMirror² instances. This should never be done. Doing so makes your entire configuration, including secrets and API keys, publicly visible. Furthermore, it allows attackers to target the host; this is only prevented beginning with this release. Public MagicMirror² instances should always run behind a reverse proxy with authentication. ### [core] - Prepare Release 2.36.0 (#4126) - Allow HTTPFetcher to pass through 304 responses (#4120) - fix(http-fetcher): fall back to reloadInterval after retries exhausted (#4113) - config endpoint must handle functions in module configs (#4106) - fix replaceSecretPlaceholder (#4104) - restrict replaceSecretPlaceholder to cors with allowWhitelist (#4102) - fix: prevent crash when config is undefined in socket handler (#4096) - fix cors function for alpine linux (#4091) - fix(cors): prevent SSRF via DNS rebinding (#4090) - add option to disable or restrict cors endpoint (#4087) - fix: prevent SSRF via /cors endpoint by blocking private/reserved IPs (#4084) - chore: add permissions section to enforce pull-request rules workflow (#4079) - update version for develop ### [dependencies] - update dependencies (#4124) - chore: update dependencies (#4088) - refactor: enable ESLint rule "no-unused-vars" and handle related issues (#4080) ### [modules/newsfeed] - fix(newsfeed): prevent duplicate parse error callback when using pipeline (#4083) ### [modules/updatenotification] - fix(updatenotification): harden git command execution + simplify checkUpdates (#4115) - fix(tests): correct import path for git_helper module in updatenotification tests (#4078) ### [modules/weather] - fix(weather): use nearest openmeteo hourly data (#4123) - fix(weather): avoid loading state after reconnect (#4121) - weather: fix UV index display and add WeatherFlow precipitation (#4108) - fix(weather): restore OpenWeatherMap v2.5 support (#4101) - fix(weather): use stable instanceId to prevent duplicate fetchers (#4092) - SMHI: migrate to SNOW1gv1 API (replace deprecated PMP3gv2) (#4082) ### [testing] - ci(actions): set explicit token permissions (#4114) - fix(http_fetcher): use undici.fetch when dispatcher is present (#4097) - ci(codeql): also scan develop branch on push and PR (#4086) - refactor: replace implicit global config with explicit global.config (#4085) --------- Signed-off-by: dependabot[bot] <support@github.com> Co-authored-by: sam detweiler <sdetweil@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Kristjan ESPERANTO <35647502+KristjanESPERANTO@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Veeck <github@veeck.de> Co-authored-by: veeck <gitkraken@veeck.de> Co-authored-by: Magnus <34011212+MagMar94@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ikko Eltociear Ashimine <eltociear@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: dependabot[bot] <49699333+dependabot[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: DevIncomin <56730075+Developer-Incoming@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Nathan <n8nyoung@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: mixasgr <mixasgr@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Savvas Adamtziloglou <savvas-gr@greeklug.gr> Co-authored-by: Konstantinos <geraki@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: OWL4C <124401812+OWL4C@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: BugHaver <43462320+bughaver@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: BugHaver <43462320+lsaadeh@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Bugsounet - Cédric <github@bugsounet.fr> Co-authored-by: Koen Konst <koenspero@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Koen Konst <c.h.konst@avisi.nl> Co-authored-by: dathbe <github@beffa.us> Co-authored-by: Marcel <m-idler@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Kevin G. <crazylegstoo@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Jboucly <33218155+jboucly@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jboucly <contact@jboucly.fr> Co-authored-by: Jarno <54169345+jarnoml@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jordan Welch <JordanHWelch@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Blackspirits <blackspirits@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Samed Ozdemir <samed@xsor.io> Co-authored-by: in-voker <58696565+in-voker@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Andrés Vanegas Jiménez <142350+angeldeejay@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: cgillinger <christian.gillinger@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Sonny B <43247590+sonnyb9@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: sonnyb9 <sonnyb9@users.noreply.github.com>

As reported in #4109, the weather module retries much more frequently than expected after network errors. #4092 already fixed the main cause (duplicate fetchers), but the backoff logic in
HTTPFetcherstill has a gap: once retries are exhausted,calculateBackoffDelaykeeps returning a short fixed delay (60s) instead of falling back toreloadInterval. The same problem existed for 5xx errors, where the delay grew to 8× the configured interval.Inspired by #4110 (thanks @CodeLine9), this PR makes both error paths fall back to
reloadIntervalafter retries are exhausted. I also simplified the catch block, extracted a#shortenUrl()helper for log messages, and added tests for the backoff progression.
