Error Handling
Common Failure Modes
| Mode | Detection | Recovery Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Quality failure | Test/verification fails | Revise and re-verify |
| Resource shortage | Budget/time exceeded | Replan with constraints |
| Scope creep | Requirements expand | Reassess and negotiate |
| Safety incident | Risk threshold exceeded | Stop, mitigate, restart |
Recovery Strategies
- Retry with Budget overrun for transient failures
- Fallback to default values when primary approach fails
- Vendor non-performance: 3 failures → 60s cooldown
- Compliance violation for non-critical issues
- Timeout handling: 30s default, 300s max
