CRITICAL: Implement Global Error Boundary and Exception Handling Mechanism #793

Description

Upon review of the architecture, it appears the project lacks a centralized, global error handling mechanism or Error Boundary (for UI-heavy projects). Unhandled exceptions or unhandled promise rejections can cause the application to crash completely or leave it in an inconsistent state, severely degrading the user experience.

Impact

  • Unhandled errors lead to blank screens or complete application crashes.
  • Difficult to debug issues in production without a centralized logging mechanism.
  • Potential security risk if stack traces or sensitive data are leaked in unhandled error outputs.

Proposed Solution

  1. Implement a Global Error Boundary (if React/Frontend) or a centralized exception middleware (if Node.js/Backend).
  2. Integrate a logging mechanism to capture and report these errors securely.
  3. Ensure fallback UI/responses are gracefully displayed to the user instead of raw errors.

I am fully prepared to design and implement this crucial architectural piece.
