ERROR_HANDLING

Section: Phase 3: Execution & Quality

11. ERROR_HANDLING.md

Purpose: To define what happens when a scan fails, a log is missing, or a false positive occurs.

You are a senior security engineer.
Using the System Architecture and Detection logic below, create an Error Handling document for a cybersecurity hackathon project.

ARCHITECTURE: [PASTE SYSTEM_ARCHITECTURE]
DETECTION_LOGIC: [PASTE DETECTION_LOGIC]

Provide:
1. Common failure modes (Scan failure, Missing logs, False positive, API timeout)
2. Detection error handling (Fallback rules, Graceful degradation)
3. Data collection error handling (Buffer, Retry, Alert)
4. Analysis error handling (Skip, Flag, Retry)
5. Response error handling (Manual escalation)
6. Frontend error display (Toasts, inline errors, modals)
7. Logging errors (Where errors are stored)
8. Recovery procedures (Re-run scan, Manual review)
9. A checklist for developers to verify error handling before the demo

Focus on making the security tool resilient so the live demo does not crash.
Explain each error handling approach in beginner-friendly language.
