Description

Parent epic: #36004

Finding

The analytics search store reportedly leaves prior results visible after a query error.

Report reference: dotcms-ui/src/app/portlets/dot-analytics/search/dot-analytics-search.store.ts:100-106

Potential impact

Users may interpret stale analytics search results as the current query's results after an error.

Suggested validation

Run a successful analytics search, then force the next query to error and inspect whether stale results remain visible.

Possible fix

Clear or mark results stale on query error while setting an explicit error state.

Caveat

This was AI-found by Claude from .scratch/audit/REPORT.md. Please perform secondary validation of correctness, severity, and value before actioning.

Research direction

Start at dotcms-ui/src/app/portlets/dot-analytics/search/dot-analytics-search.store.ts:100-106 and validate the reported behavior by running a successful analytics search, then forcing the next query to error. Done means the prior results are cleared or marked stale and an explicit error state is visible; also confirm the finding's correctness, severity, and value.
