Summary
0005for predictable error handling and recovery across the Kernel, Extension, and Experience layers@throwscontractsdocs/design/README.mdWhy
Error handling is a primary reliability and trust requirement for Hyperkernel. The existing architecture defines command, event, projection, and external-effect failure behavior in several places, but it does not yet provide one cross-layer contract for exception semantics, catch ownership, retry safety, public failure descriptors, and resilient UI recovery.
This record makes those decisions explicit while preserving the distinction between target architecture and the current early implementation.
Impact
This PR changes documentation only. It does not implement custom errors, retry orchestration, transport failure descriptors, initialization boundaries, or error UI. Future implementation work must still be classified and verified according to its Kernel, Extension, or Experience risk, and Kernel changes continue to require experienced human review.
