+# Error Handling Guide
+
+This guide covers Taski's comprehensive error handling capabilities including circular dependency detection, task build errors, and recovery strategies.
+
+## Error Types
+
+Taski provides specific exception types for different error scenarios:
+
+- `Taski::CircularDependencyError`: Circular dependency detected
+- `Taski::TaskBuildError`: Task execution failed
+- `Taski::TaskAnalysisError`: Static analysis failed
+- `Taski::SectionImplementationError`: Section implementation problems
+- `Taski::TaskInterruptedException`: Task interrupted by signal
+
+## Circular Dependency Detection
+
+Taski automatically detects circular dependencies and provides detailed error messages.
+
+### Simple Circular Dependency
+
+```ruby
+class TaskA < Taski::Task
+  exports :value_a
+  
+  def run
+    @value_a = TaskB.value_b  # TaskA depends on TaskB
+  end
+end
+
+class TaskB < Taski::Task
+  exports :value_b
+  
+  def run
+    @value_b = TaskA.value_a  # TaskB depends on TaskA - CIRCULAR!
+  end
+end
+
+begin
+  TaskA.run
+rescue Taski::CircularDependencyError => e
+  puts "Error: #{e.message}"
+end
+
+# Output:
+# Error: Circular dependency detected!
+# Cycle: TaskA → TaskB → TaskA
+# 
+# The dependency chain is:
+#   1. TaskA is trying to build → TaskB
+#   2. TaskB is trying to build → TaskA
+```
+
+### Complex Circular Dependencies
+
+```ruby
+class DatabaseConfig < Taski::Task
+  exports :connection_string
+  
+  def run
+    # This creates a complex circular dependency
+    @connection_string = "postgresql://#{ServerConfig.host}/#{AppConfig.database_name}"
+  end
+end
+
+class ServerConfig < Taski::Task
+  exports :host
+  
+  def run
+    @host = AppConfig.production? ? "prod.example.com" : "localhost"
+  end
+end
+
+class AppConfig < Taski::Task
+  exports :database_name, :production
+  
+  def run
+    @database_name = "myapp_#{DatabaseConfig.connection_string.split('/').last}"
+    @production = ENV['RAILS_ENV'] == 'production'
+  end
+end
+
+begin
+  DatabaseConfig.run
+rescue Taski::CircularDependencyError => e
+  puts "Complex circular dependency detected:"
+  puts e.message
+end
+
+# Output:
+# Complex circular dependency detected:
+# Circular dependency detected!
+# Cycle: DatabaseConfig → AppConfig → DatabaseConfig
+# 
+# The dependency chain is:
+#   1. DatabaseConfig is trying to build → AppConfig
+#   2. AppConfig is trying to build → DatabaseConfig
+```
+
+### Avoiding Circular Dependencies
+
+```ruby
+# ❌ Bad: Circular dependency
+class BadConfigA < Taski::Task
+  exports :value
+  def run; @value = BadConfigB.other_value; end
+end
+
+class BadConfigB < Taski::Task
+  exports :other_value
+  def run; @other_value = BadConfigA.value; end
+end
+
+# ✅ Good: Hierarchical dependencies
+class BaseConfig < Taski::Task
+  exports :environment, :base_url
+  
+  def run
+    @environment = ENV['RAILS_ENV'] || 'development'
+    @base_url = @environment == 'production' ? 'https://api.example.com' : 'http://localhost:3000'
+  end
+end
+
+class DatabaseConfig < Taski::Task
+  exports :connection_string
+  
+  def run
+    db_name = BaseConfig.environment == 'production' ? 'myapp_prod' : 'myapp_dev'
+    @connection_string = "postgresql://localhost/#{db_name}"
+  end
+end
+
+class ApiConfig < Taski::Task
+  exports :endpoint
+  
+  def run
+    @endpoint = "#{BaseConfig.base_url}/api/v1"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Task Build Errors
+
+When task execution fails, Taski wraps the error in a `TaskBuildError` with detailed context.
+
+### Basic Error Handling
+
+```ruby
+class FailingTask < Taski::Task
+  exports :result
+  
+  def run
+    raise "Something went wrong!"
+  end
+end
+
+class DependentTask < Taski::Task
+  def run
+    puts "Using result: #{FailingTask.result}"
+  end
+end
+
+begin
+  DependentTask.run
+rescue Taski::TaskBuildError => e
+  puts "Task build failed: #{e.message}"
+  puts "Original error: #{e.cause.message}"
+  puts "Failed task: #{e.task_class}"
+end
+
+# Output:
+# Task build failed: Failed to build task FailingTask: Something went wrong!
+# Original error: Something went wrong!
+# Failed task: FailingTask
+```
+
+### Error Propagation
+
+```ruby
+class DatabaseTask < Taski::Task
+  exports :connection
+  
+  def run
+    raise "Database connection failed"
+  end
+end
+
+class CacheTask < Taski::Task
+  exports :redis_client
+  
+  def run
+    @redis_client = "redis://localhost:6379"
+  end
+end
+
+class ApplicationTask < Taski::Task
+  def run
+    # Both dependencies required
+    db = DatabaseTask.connection
+    cache = CacheTask.redis_client
+    puts "App started with DB: #{db}, Cache: #{cache}"
+  end
+end
+
+begin
+  ApplicationTask.run
+rescue Taski::TaskBuildError => e
+  puts "Application failed to start:"
+  puts "  Failed task: #{e.task_class}"
+  puts "  Error: #{e.cause.message}"
+  
+  # Chain of errors is preserved
+  current = e
+  while current.cause
+    current = current.cause
+    puts "  Caused by: #{current.message}" if current.respond_to?(:message)
+  end
+end
+
+# Output:
+# Application failed to start:
+#   Failed task: DatabaseTask
+#   Error: Database connection failed
+```
+
+## Dependency Error Recovery
+
+Taski provides powerful error recovery mechanisms using `rescue_deps`.
+
+### Basic Error Recovery
+
+```ruby
+class UnreliableService < Taski::Task
+  exports :data
+  
+  def run
+    if ENV['SERVICE_DOWN'] == 'true'
+      raise "Service unavailable"
+    end
+    @data = { users: 100, orders: 50 }
+  end
+end
+
+class FallbackService < Taski::Task
+  exports :cached_data
+  
+  def run
+    @cached_data = { users: 90, orders: 45 }  # Slightly stale data
+  end
+end
+
+class ReliableConsumer < Taski::Task
+  # Rescue any StandardError from dependencies
+  rescue_deps StandardError, -> { FallbackService.cached_data }
+  
+  def run
+    data = UnreliableService.data
+    puts "Processing data: #{data}"
+  end
+end
+
+# Test normal operation
+ENV['SERVICE_DOWN'] = 'false'
+ReliableConsumer.run
+# => Processing data: {users: 100, orders: 50}
+
+# Test fallback
+ENV['SERVICE_DOWN'] = 'true'
+ReliableConsumer.reset!
+ReliableConsumer.run
+# => Processing data: {users: 90, orders: 45}
+```
+
+### Multiple Rescue Strategies
+
+```ruby
+class PrimaryAPI < Taski::Task
+  exports :api_data
+  
+  def run
+    raise "Primary API down" if ENV['PRIMARY_DOWN'] == 'true'
+    @api_data = { source: 'primary', data: 'fresh' }
+  end
+end
+
+class SecondaryAPI < Taski::Task
+  exports :backup_data
+  
+  def run
+    raise "Secondary API down" if ENV['SECONDARY_DOWN'] == 'true'
+    @backup_data = { source: 'secondary', data: 'good' }
+  end
+end
+
+class LocalCache < Taski::Task
+  exports :cached_data
+  
+  def run
+    raise "Cache corrupted" if ENV['CACHE_CORRUPTED'] == 'true'
+    @cached_data = { source: 'cache', data: 'stale' }
+  end
+end
+
+class ResilientDataProcessor < Taski::Task
+  # Try primary API first
+  rescue_deps StandardError, -> { SecondaryAPI.backup_data }
+  # If that fails, try local cache
+  rescue_deps StandardError, -> { LocalCache.cached_data }
+  # If all else fails, use static data
+  rescue_deps StandardError, -> { { source: 'static', data: 'default' } }
+  
+  def run
+    data = PrimaryAPI.api_data
+    puts "Using data from #{data[:source]}: #{data[:data]}"
+  end
+end
+
+# Test various failure scenarios
+ENV['PRIMARY_DOWN'] = 'true'
+ResilientDataProcessor.run
+# => Using data from secondary: good
+
+ENV['SECONDARY_DOWN'] = 'true'
+ResilientDataProcessor.reset!
+ResilientDataProcessor.run
+# => Using data from cache: stale
+
+ENV['CACHE_CORRUPTED'] = 'true'
+ResilientDataProcessor.reset!
+ResilientDataProcessor.run
+# => Using data from static: default
+```
+
+### Conditional Error Recovery
+
+```ruby
+class ExternalService < Taski::Task
+  exports :external_data
+  
+  def run
+    case ENV['ERROR_TYPE']
+    when 'network'
+      raise SocketError, "Network unreachable"
+    when 'timeout'
+      raise Timeout::Error, "Request timed out"
+    when 'auth'
+      raise SecurityError, "Authentication failed"
+    else
+      @external_data = "external service data"
+    end
+  end
+end
+
+class SmartConsumer < Taski::Task
+  # Only rescue network and timeout errors, not auth errors
+  rescue_deps SocketError, Timeout::Error, -> { "fallback data" }
+  
+  def run
+    data = ExternalService.external_data
+    puts "Using: #{data}"
+  end
+end
+
+# Network error - rescued
+ENV['ERROR_TYPE'] = 'network'
+SmartConsumer.run
+# => Using: fallback data
+
+# Auth error - not rescued, propagates up
+ENV['ERROR_TYPE'] = 'auth'
+begin
+  SmartConsumer.reset!
+  SmartConsumer.run
+rescue Taski::TaskBuildError => e
+  puts "Auth error not handled: #{e.cause.message}"
+end
+# => Auth error not handled: Authentication failed
+```
+
+## Error Recovery Patterns
+
+### Circuit Breaker Pattern
+
+```ruby
+class CircuitBreakerService < Taski::Task
+  exports :service_data
+  
+  def run
+    failure_count = ENV['FAILURE_COUNT'].to_i
+    
+    if failure_count >= 3
+      raise "Circuit breaker open - too many failures"
+    end
+    
+    @service_data = "service response"
+  end
+end
+
+class CircuitBreakerConsumer < Taski::Task
+  rescue_deps StandardError, -> { 
+    puts "Circuit breaker activated, using cached response"
+    "cached response" 
+  }
+  
+  def run
+    data = CircuitBreakerService.service_data
+    puts "Service response: #{data}"
+  end
+end
+
+ENV['FAILURE_COUNT'] = '5'
+CircuitBreakerConsumer.run
+# => Circuit breaker activated, using cached response
+```
+
+### Retry with Backoff
+
+```ruby
+class RetryableService < Taski::Task
+  exports :retry_data
+  
+  def run
+    attempt = (ENV['ATTEMPT'] || '1').to_i
+    
+    if attempt < 3
+      ENV['ATTEMPT'] = (attempt + 1).to_s
+      raise "Temporary failure (attempt #{attempt})"
+    end
+    
+    @retry_data = "success on attempt #{attempt}"
+  end
+end
+
+class RetryingConsumer < Taski::Task
+  rescue_deps StandardError, -> {
+    puts "Retrying after failure..."
+    sleep(1)  # Simple backoff
+    RetryableService.reset!
+    
+    begin
+      RetryableService.retry_data
+    rescue => e
+      "final fallback after retries"
+    end
+  }
+  
+  def run
+    data = RetryableService.retry_data
+    puts "Final result: #{data}"
+  end
+end
+
+ENV['ATTEMPT'] = '1'
+RetryingConsumer.run
+# => Retrying after failure...
+# => Final result: success on attempt 3
+```
+
+## Static Analysis Errors
+
+Taski performs static analysis to detect dependency issues early.
+
+### Missing Dependencies
+
+```ruby
+class MissingDepTask < Taski::Task
+  exports :result
+  
+  def run
+    # This will cause a NameError at class definition time
+    @result = UndefinedTask.some_value
+  end
+end
+
+# Error occurs immediately when class is defined:
+# NameError: uninitialized constant UndefinedTask
+```
+
+### Invalid ref() Usage
+
+```ruby
+class InvalidRefTask < Taski::Task
+  define :invalid_ref, -> {
+    ref("NonExistentTask").value  # Will fail at runtime
+  }
+  
+  def run
+    puts invalid_ref
+  end
+end
+
+begin
+  InvalidRefTask.run
+rescue => e
+  puts "Reference error: #{e.message}"
+end
+# => Reference error: uninitialized constant NonExistentTask
+```
+
+## Signal Interruption Handling
+
+Handle task interruption gracefully with proper cleanup.
+
+### Basic Signal Handling
+
+```ruby
+class InterruptibleTask < Taski::Task
+  def run
+    puts "Starting long operation..."
+    
+    begin
+      long_running_operation
+    rescue Taski::TaskInterruptedException => e
+      puts "Task interrupted: #{e.message}"
+      perform_cleanup
+      raise  # Re-raise to maintain proper error flow
+    end
+    
+    puts "Operation completed"
+  end
+  
+  private
+  
+  def long_running_operation
+    50.times do |i|
+      puts "Step #{i + 1}/50"
+      sleep(0.2)
+    end
+  end
+  
+  def perform_cleanup
+    puts "Cleaning up resources..."
+    puts "Cleanup complete"
+  end
+end
+
+# Run with Ctrl+C to test interruption
+InterruptibleTask.run
+```
+
+### Nested Task Interruption
+
+```ruby
+class DatabaseMigration < Taski::Task
+  def run
+    puts "Starting migration..."
+    
+    begin
+      migrate_schema
+      migrate_data
+    rescue Taski::TaskInterruptedException => e
+      puts "Migration interrupted, rolling back..."
+      rollback_changes
+      raise
+    end
+    
+    puts "Migration completed"
+  end
+  
+  private
+  
+  def migrate_schema
+    puts "Migrating schema..."
+    sleep(2)
+  end
+  
+  def migrate_data
+    puts "Migrating data..."
+    sleep(3)
+  end
+  
+  def rollback_changes
+    puts "Rolling back migration changes..."
+    sleep(1)
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Debugging Strategies
+
+### Comprehensive Error Logging
+
+```ruby
+class DiagnosticTask < Taski::Task
+  def run
+    begin
+      risky_operation
+    rescue => e
+      Taski.logger.error "Task failed", 
+                         task: self.class.name,
+                         error_class: e.class.name,
+                         error_message: e.message,
+                         backtrace: e.backtrace.first(5)
+      raise
+    end
+  end
+  
+  private
+  
+  def risky_operation
+    raise "Diagnostic error for testing"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### Dependency Chain Analysis
+
+```ruby
+class DebugTask < Taski::Task
+  exports :debug_info
+  
+  def run
+    puts "Dependency analysis:"
+    puts "  Dependencies: #{self.class.dependencies.map(&:name)}"
+    puts "  Dependency tree:"
+    puts self.class.tree.split("\n").map { |line| "    #{line}" }
+    
+    @debug_info = "debug complete"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Fail Fast and Clearly
+
+```ruby
+# ✅ Good: Clear error messages
+class ValidatingTask < Taski::Task
+  def run
+    validate_environment!
+    perform_work
+  end
+  
+  private
+  
+  def validate_environment!
+    required_vars = %w[DATABASE_URL API_KEY]
+    missing = required_vars.select { |var| ENV[var].nil? || ENV[var].empty? }
+    
+    if missing.any?
+      raise "Missing required environment variables: #{missing.join(', ')}"
+    end
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### 2. Provide Meaningful Fallbacks
+
+```ruby
+# ✅ Good: Meaningful fallback with logging
+class GracefulTask < Taski::Task
+  rescue_deps StandardError, -> {
+    Taski.logger.warn "Primary service failed, using fallback"
+    load_fallback_data
+  }
+  
+  def self.load_fallback_data
+    { status: 'degraded', message: 'Using cached data due to service outage' }
+  end
+end
+```
+
+### 3. Test Error Scenarios
+
+```ruby
+# Test both success and failure paths
+class TestableTask < Taski::Task
+  exports :result
+  
+  def run
+    if ENV['SIMULATE_FAILURE'] == 'true'
+      raise "Simulated failure for testing"
+    end
+    
+    @result = "success"
+  end
+end
+
+# In tests:
+# ENV['SIMULATE_FAILURE'] = 'true'
+# expect { TestableTask.run }.to raise_error(Taski::TaskBuildError)
+```
+
+This comprehensive error handling guide ensures your Taski applications are robust and maintainable in production environments.
