Introduce comprehensive application-wide error boundary and recovery system #220

Description

@Lakes41

Difficulty: Advanced
Type: Architecture

Background

Unexpected runtime exceptions currently risk terminating portions of the application or presenting users with limited recovery options. As GuildPass Mobile grows in complexity, resilient error recovery becomes increasingly important.

A centralized recovery strategy improves both reliability and debugging.

Problem

Application errors are handled inconsistently across screens and components, making failures difficult to diagnose while degrading user experience.

Expected outcome

Introduce a unified error boundary system capable of gracefully recovering from unexpected runtime failures while collecting meaningful diagnostic information.

Suggested implementation

  1. Audit existing runtime error handling.
  2. Implement application-level React Error Boundaries.
  3. Add reusable fallback UI components.
  4. Categorize recoverable versus unrecoverable failures.
  5. Integrate structured error logging.
  6. Provide users with retry and recovery actions where appropriate.

Acceptance criteria

  • Unexpected rendering failures no longer terminate the application.
  • Users receive meaningful recovery options.
  • Structured diagnostic information is collected.
  • Error boundaries are documented for future development.
  • Existing application behavior remains unaffected.
