Description

I have react application in production (tus node server with tus gcs store) with many active users.
From time to time my server is being reset from error I get from tus, due to file metadata is missing.
The error is:

            /node_modules/@tus/gcs-store/dist/index.js:130
            const { size, metadata: meta } = metadata.metadata;
                    ^
            TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'size' of 'metadata.metadata' as it is undefined.

I can’t find a way to reproduce it, and therefore I cant find a way to fix it.
I also couldn’t find a way to catch this error and prevent the reset.

Research direction

Start with the stack trace at @tus/gcs-store/dist/index.js:130 and inspect how GCS object metadata is read during upload handling. Investigate when metadata.metadata can be undefined and whether the failure can be reproduced or safely handled. Done means identifying the cause and preventing this error from resetting the server.
