Question about Console Log Errors

Hello all! I have been working for some months now on building and supporting a Lucid extension (mostly used in LucidSpark). Extension works great, but lately I’ve noticed an increase in the number of errors showing up in the console that do not appear to be related to my extension - but I could be wrong. I’ve attached a few of the errors and just want a high-level opinion if these are things I need to be concerned with and dig deeper into to address. The first image below shows some errors that occur upon initial load of a document. The other two just pop up here and there. None of these appear to be actually causing problems, but thought I’d check.Thanks!

Page countif function with multiple pages

I am using the countif function: {{=COUNTIF(DESCENDANTS(page),CONTAINS(THIS."model", "xxx"))}} to count the objects on the current page according to the data field “model”. I’d like to put this in a table that has columns to count the objects on multiple pages. For example, one column for corporate, one for engineering, and one for manufacturing (page names). Is it possible to use the countif function to reference objects on another page in the same file?

Are the curl examples wrong in the documented endpoints?

 I have been checking the documentation for embedding files and it appears that I am supposed to be generating a temporary token that is to be used when embedding files. This is the page I am looking at: https://lucid.readme.io/reference/documentembedstokenThe example curl is:curl --request POST \ --url https://api.lucid.co/embeds/token \ --header 'accept: application/jwt' \ --header 'authorization: Bearer oauth2-...' \ --header 'content-type: application/json'This curl seems to be incorrect/missing data, as when I use the example I get the error The requested resource requires a valid Lucid-Api-Version header. So, I pass this header: Lucid-Api-Version: 1 in the curl (which I am assuming is correct but there is no good way for me to be sure) and I get the error Missing or invalid access token despite me passing in a valid access token. In addition, the documentation says I need to pass a body, including `origin`, and `embedId` (as optional) which is not included in the

Will there be newer data set API's coming?

I’d like to automate importing of CVS data but it appears the only API’s for that are in the legacy API which also requires OAuth 1.0? Is this correct and will there be newer API’s that are not legacy to meet this need?

BUG: https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id/trash

I’ve noticed that when I use the https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id/trash API call documented https://developer.lucid.co/rest-api/v1/#trash-document If I have the parent folder open in a browser window the document does not disappear. When I choose the Trash option from the Lucid web app ui the document vanishes. I have also noticed that when a document is created with a POST to https://api.lucid.co/documents the document shows up in the web app. If I click into the document that was deleted with the API trash call I get a notice the document is in the trash. Refreshing the browser page causes the trashed document to disappear. Also my first time trying to report a bug I’m not sure this is the best place so happy to have feedback on the correct way to report a bug.

Reference other existing libraries in an extension?

I love the Salesforce Well-Architected shape library and the Salesforce integration to connect and create ERDs but I don’t see an easy way to generate a document using the shape library from the ERD connector output.If I made a custom extension could that extension rely upon the Salesforce shape library or not? Or in general any other 3rd party shape library?
