graceful error handling

Implement error handling that gracefully degrades when operations fail, uses consistent reporting patterns, and considers security implications. Always wrap potentially failing operations in try-catch blocks, provide meaningful fallback behavior, and follow established error reporting conventions.

Key principles:

• Use environment-aware error information disclosure (preserve debugging details in development, sanitize in production)
• Follow consistent error reporting patterns across the codebase
• Implement defensive programming against unexpected error types
• Provide graceful degradation when non-critical operations fail

Example implementation:

try {
  sessionStorage.setItem(storageKey, JSON.stringify(data));
} catch (error) {
  warning(
    false,
    `Failed to save data in sessionStorage, feature will not work properly. ${error}`
  );
  // Continue execution - don't let storage failure break the app
}

// Environment-aware error disclosure
error.stack = process.env.NODE_ENV === "development" ? val.stack : "";

// Proper error propagation with meaningful responses
if (res.status === 404) {
  throw new ErrorResponseImpl(404, "Not Found", true);
}

This approach ensures applications remain functional even when individual operations fail, while maintaining appropriate security boundaries and consistent user experience.
