Always use `set -eou pipefail` at the beginning of bash scripts to ensure consistent and robust error handling. This combination ensures scripts fail immediately on errors (`-e`), treat unset variables as errors (`-u`), and properly handle pipeline failures (`-o pipefail`), preventing silent failures and making debugging easier.
