Closes #400

Description

Implements a global error handling framework for quest-service with standardized error codes, custom exceptions, circuit breaker fault tolerance, exponential backoff retries, and unified response formatting.


Key Changes

  • Exception Hierarchy: Added BaseException, DomainException, and InfrastructureException roots to avoid collisions with standard NestJS exceptions.
  • Domain Exceptions: Created 25+ strongly-typed exception classes (AppNotFoundException, AuthenticationException, etc.).
  • Standardized Error Codes: Added enum-driven error code registry (50+ codes) for predictable client handling.
  • Fault Tolerance: Implemented circuit breakers and retry logic with exponential backoff and jitter.
  • Global Filter & Pipeline Integration: Enhanced NestJS HttpExceptionFilter and updated ValidationPipe to seamlessly process custom and legacy exceptions.
  • Testing: Added unit test coverage for exceptions, filters, and circuit breaker states.

Verification & Compatibility

  • Zero Breaking Changes: Existing NestJS exceptions continue working alongside the new framework.
  • Type Check: Clean compilation verified via npx tsc --noEmit.
  • Opt-In Architecture: Crate components allow modular/gradual adoption across teams.

Test Output

✓ BaseException & DomainException tests passing
✓ Circuit Breaker state transition tests passing
✓ Exception filter formatting tests passing

- Add error hierarchy with BaseException, DomainException, InfrastructureException
- Create 25+ custom exception classes for quest service domain
- Implement standardized error codes system with 50+ error codes
- Add circuit breaker pattern for external service fault tolerance
- Implement retry logic with exponential backoff and jitter
- Create error recovery strategies (RETRY, FALLBACK, CIRCUIT_BREAKER, etc.)
- Enhance global exception filter with proper logging and Sentry integration
- Add client-friendly error responses with retry guidance
- Create comprehensive test suite
- Update validation pipe to use new framework
