description: '# Standardize Error Handling Patterns


  ## Objective

  Create consistent error handling utilities to reduce duplication and improve reliability.


  ## Current State

  - Duplicate try-except blocks throughout codebase

  - Inconsistent error logging and reporting

  - Similar error handling patterns reimplemented

  - Missing error context in many places


  ## Target Areas

  1. **File operations error handling**

  2. **Subprocess execution error handling**

  3. **Import/module loading error handling**

  4. **Configuration validation error handling**

  5. **API/service communication error handling**


  ## Tasks

  1. Create error_utils module with common handlers

  2. Implement error context managers

  3. Create standardized error logging helpers

  4. Develop error recovery patterns

  5. Refactor existing error handling to use utilities


  ## Patterns to Implement

  - Retry decorators with backoff

  - Context-aware error messages

  - Error aggregation for batch operations

  - Graceful degradation patterns


  ## Expected Outcome

  - Consistent error handling across codebase

  - Better error messages with context

  - Reduced duplicate error handling code

  - Improved system reliability
