Purpose
Implement comprehensive error handling for current code to make it robust and resilient while maintaining good UX.
Steps
- Error Detection: Identify potential failure points, edge cases, unhandled exceptions, missing validation, async/network call issues
- Error Handling Strategy: Implement try-catch blocks, add input validation/sanitization, create meaningful error messages/logging, design graceful degradation
- Recovery Mechanisms: Retry only when the write is replay-safe (idempotency key or equivalent deduplication). Otherwise keep an explicit no-retry path. Permitted retries need a bounded deadline, cancellation, and backoff. Add fallbacks and circuit breakers only where they do not hide the owning failure
- User Experience: Provide clear error messages, implement proper error status codes for APIs, add loading states/error boundaries for UI, include helpful suggestions
