Scans your codebase for swallowed exceptions, unchecked error returns, and misleading log-and-continue paths, then scores overall error handling quality. Use it before a release or during a code review to catch silent failures that hide real bugs.
Audit the error handling in this code. Find: swallowed exceptions (catch blocks that don't re-throw or log), errors returned but never checked by callers, operations that can fail but have no error path, and places where errors are logged but execution continues incorrectly. Rate overall error handling 1-10 and explain the rating.
