Ver1 Step 2 Error-Path Inventory (Carry-Forward)

Purpose

Provide a compact inventory of major failure paths with taxonomy mapping and retry behavior, aligned with:

  • docs/error_handling.md
  • docs/ver1/ver1-step2-results.md
  • docs/ver1/ver1-step1-2-carry-forward-checklist.md (CF-B1)

This is a lightweight operational artifact for Step 6/7 follow-through.


Inventory Table

Path ID Boundary/Operation Typical Failure Source Category Retriable Surface Behavior Current Coverage Notes
EP-API-001 API upload request validation invalid payload / empty file metadata validation_error no structured API error envelope (400) partial confirm all upload variants
EP-API-002 API resource lookup missing job/document not_found_error no structured API error envelope (404) partial verify consistency for all lookup routes
EP-SVC-001 Service provider-call mapping provider SDK/HTTP failure external_provider_error sometimes normalized AppError and safe message partial ensure consistent mapping in service boundary tests
EP-WKR-001 Worker provider timeout timeout/unavailable upstream external_provider_error or infrastructure_transient_error yes retry or terminal failed with persisted reason partial validate category mapping remains deterministic
EP-WKR-002 Worker non-retriable domain/input failure deterministic invalid input/state user_input_error or conflict_error no immediate terminal failed with persisted reason partial ensure no retry on non-retriable categories
EP-WKR-003 Worker retry exhaustion repeated retriable failure category from source; terminal state capped then no explicit failed status + error detail met implemented in Step 2; keep regression coverage
EP-UI-001 UI upload action failure surfaced AppError or fallback exception category-based safe user message category-driven title + message + suggestion + error id partial verify consistency on all primary UI actions
EP-LOG-001 Cross-boundary error logging missing/uneven fields n/a n/a logs include error_id, category, operation, ids when available partial complete in Step 6 (CF-B2)

Verification Targets (Step 6/7)

  1. Every critical path has category + retriable policy defined.
  2. API/UI behavior remains safe and actionable.
  3. Worker terminal failures are explicit and persisted.
  4. Logging fields are consistent at critical handoffs.
