Description

Create comprehensive documentation for error handling strategies across MistKit, including all error types, recovery patterns, and best practices.

Background

PR #105 review highlighted the need for comprehensive error handling documentation. CloudKitError and TokenManagerError types need complete documentation with handling strategies.

Error Types to Document

1. CloudKitError

  • All error cases and meanings
  • HTTP status code mappings
  • CloudKit service error responses
  • Network and connectivity errors

2. TokenManagerError

  • Authentication failure scenarios
  • Token expiration handling
  • Storage and retrieval errors
  • Configuration errors

3. General Error Patterns

  • Async/await error handling
  • Result type usage patterns
  • Error propagation strategies
  • Logging and debugging approaches

Documentation Requirements

Error Handling Guide

  • Error type hierarchy and relationships
  • When and how to catch specific errors
  • Recovery and retry strategies
  • User-facing error message guidelines

Code Examples

// Comprehensive error handling example
do {
    let result = try await cloudKitService.performOperation()
    // Handle success
} catch let error as CloudKitError {
    switch error {
    case .networkError(let underlying):
        // Handle network issues
    case .authenticationFailed:
        // Handle auth failures
    // ... other cases
    }
} catch let error as TokenManagerError {
    // Handle token-specific errors
} catch {
    // Handle unexpected errors
}

Best Practices

  • Error handling in different application contexts
  • Testing error scenarios
  • Performance considerations
  • Security implications of error handling

Tasks

  • Document all error types with @throws annotations
  • Create error handling strategy guide
  • Add comprehensive code examples
  • Document retry and recovery patterns
  • Add troubleshooting section for common errors

Acceptance Criteria

  • All error types are fully documented
  • Error handling strategies are clear and actionable
  • Examples cover real-world scenarios
  • Developers can implement robust error handling
