Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Error Handling Design Review

Review error taxonomy, exception boundaries, timeouts, retry/backoff, circuit breaking, degradation, idempotency, transaction consistency, propagation, consumer contracts, telemetry, and recovery before implementation. It produces `EH-##` failure-mode findings and validation preparation; it does not run fault injection or review a real incident.

## When to Use

- Use it to distinguish expected behavior, propagation, retry conditions, and human handoff across failure modes.
- Use it to check error messages/status, data consistency, telemetry, recovery, and consumer contracts.
- Use it when error handling is incomplete and a bounded first pass is needed.

Do not use it to execute fault injection, choose SLA/copy/risk acceptance for a Human, or treat code presence as correctness.

## Output Format Options

- Use Markdown by default; when a table, CSV, or JSON is requested, preserve the same evidence, status, impact, owner, and validation fields.
- Do not present a structured format or static inventory as execution, pass, approval, or release evidence.
