## Purpose

Implements comprehensive error handling strategies including custom exception hierarchies, structured logging, graceful degradation, and recovery mechanisms.

---

## Domain Alignment

| Aspect | Specification |
|--------|---------------|
| **Primary Use** | Error management and resilience |
| **Target Users** | All developers |
| **Integration Points** | Logging frameworks, monitoring systems |

---

## Triggers

| Trigger Type | Pattern |
|--------------|---------|
| **Implicit** | "exception", "error handling", "catch" keywords |
| **Explicit** | `@error` prefix |
| **Contextual** | Try-catch blocks or error scenarios |

---

## Input/Output

| Direction | Format | Example |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| **Input** | Code or error scenario | "Handle database connection failures" |
| **Output** | Error handling implementation | Exception classes, retry logic, logging |

---

## Safeguards

| Safeguard | Implementation |
|-----------|----------------|
| **No Silent Failures** | All errors logged or propagated |
| **Sensitive Data** | Never log credentials or PII |
| **Recovery Priority** | Graceful degradation over crashes |
| **User Messaging** | Technical details hidden from users |
