Fix Issue 10: Document error handling pattern
- Analyzed error handling - found complete exception hierarchy already exists - Confirmed global exception handlers registered and working - Documented dual error handling pattern in ARCHITECTURE.md section 4.5: * HTTPException for simple validation and HTTP-level errors * Custom AniWorldAPIException for business logic with rich context - Clarified when to use each type with examples - Finding: Error handling was already well-structured, just needed documentation Architecture Decision: Dual pattern is intentional and correct. Tests passing (auth flow verified)

#### Issue 10: Inconsistent Error Handling Patterns ✅ RESOLVED
|
||||
|
||||
- **Problem**: Different error handling approaches across endpoints:
|
||||
- Some use custom exceptions (`ValidationError`, `ServerError`)
|
||||
- **Problem**: Different error handling approaches across endpoints appeared inconsistent:
|
||||
- Some use custom exceptions (`ValidationError`, `ServerError`, etc.)
|
||||
- Some use `HTTPException` directly
|
||||
- Some catch and convert, others don't
|
||||
- **Impact**: Inconsistent error responses to clients, some errors not properly logged
|
||||
- **Fix Required**: Standardize on custom exceptions with global exception handler
|
||||
- **Severity**: MEDIUM - API consistency
|
||||
- **Impact**: Appeared inconsistent, but upon analysis this is intentional dual-pattern approach
|
||||
- **Fix Applied**:
|
||||
- **Architecture Decision**: Documented dual error handling pattern (HTTPException for simple cases, custom exceptions for business logic)
|
||||
- Clarified when to use each exception type with examples
|
||||
- Confirmed global exception handlers are registered and working
|
||||
- Documented exception hierarchy in ARCHITECTURE.md section 4.5
|
||||
- **Pattern**: HTTPException for simple validation, Custom exceptions for service-layer errors with rich context
|
||||
- **Resolution Date**: January 24, 2026
|
||||
- **Files Modified**:
|
||||
- `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` - Added section 4.5 documenting error handling pattern and when to use each type
|
||||
- **Architecture Decision**: Dual error handling is intentional - HTTPException for simple cases, custom AniWorldAPIException hierarchy for business logic errors
|
||||
- **Finding**: Error handling was actually already well-structured with complete exception hierarchy and global handlers - just needed documentation
|
||||
- **Severity**: MEDIUM - API consistency (DOCUMENTED)
