> common-error-handling

Cross-cutting standards for error design, response shapes, error codes, and boundary placement across API, domain, and infrastructure layers. Use when defining error hierarchies, wrapping exceptions, building standardized error responses, or placing error boundaries in layered architectures. (triggers: **/*.service.ts, **/*.handler.ts, **/*.controller.ts, **/*.go, **/*.java, **/*.kt, **/*.py, error handling, exception, try catch, error boundary, error response, error code, throw)

Error Handling Standards

Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)

Error Architecture

  • API Layer: Map domain errors to HTTP responses globally.
  • Domain Layer: Throw pure business errors. NO HTTP status codes here.
  • Infra Layer: Wrap 3rd-party exceptions. Do NOT leak raw DB errors to API.
  • Standard Shape: APIs must return a standardized JSON envelope:

See implementation examples for the standard error response shape.

Error Mechanics

  • Wrap: Add context (fmt.Errorf("process: %w", err), new Error('msg', { cause })).
  • Replace: Only when original error leaks sensitive details.
  • Error Codes: Use SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE IDs (ORDER_PAYMENT_FAILED).

Anti-Patterns

  • Swallowing Errors: Never catch(e) {} without logging or re-throwing.
  • Stack Traces: Never expose stack traces in API responses.
  • Generic 500s: Use 400 with specific details for validation instead of 500.

> common-store-changelog

Generate user-facing release notes for the Apple App Store and Google Play Store by collecting git history, triaging user-impacting changes, and drafting store-compliant changelogs. Enforces character limits (App Store ≤4000, Google Play ≤500), tone, and bullet format. Use when generating release notes, app store changelog, play store release, what's new, or version release notes for any mobile app. (triggers: generate changelog, app store notes, play store release, what's new, release notes, ve
