-# Error Handling and Edge Cases
-
-This tutorial covers robust error handling patterns and edge case management when working with the BSV TypeScript SDK. You'll learn to build resilient applications that gracefully handle network failures, wallet issues, validation errors, and other common scenarios.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Basic familiarity with the BSV TypeScript SDK
-- Understanding of WalletClient usage
-- Knowledge of async/await and Promise handling
-- Basic TypeScript/JavaScript error handling concepts
-
-## Learning Goals
-
-By the end of this tutorial, you will:
-
-- Understand common error types in the BSV ecosystem
-- Implement robust retry mechanisms and recovery strategies
-- Handle wallet-specific errors and edge cases
-- Build production-ready error handling patterns
-- Debug and troubleshoot common SDK issues
-- Create user-friendly error reporting systems
-
-## Error Types and Categories
-
-### WalletErrorObject Interface
-
-The SDK uses a standardized error interface for wallet operations:
-
-```typescript
-import { WalletClient, WalletErrorObject } from '@bsv/sdk'
-
-function isWalletError(error: any): error is WalletErrorObject {
-  return error && typeof error === 'object' && error.isError === true
-}
-
-async function handleWalletOperation() {
-  try {
-    const wallet = new WalletClient('auto', 'localhost')
-    const result = await wallet.createAction({
-      description: 'Test transaction',
-      outputs: [{
-        satoshis: 100,
-        lockingScript: '006a0474657374', // "test"
-        outputDescription: 'Test output'
-      }]
-    })
-    
-    console.log('Transaction successful:', result.txid)
-    
-  } catch (error) {
-    if (isWalletError(error)) {
-      console.error('Wallet error occurred:', error.message)
-      // Handle wallet-specific error
-    } else {
-      console.error('General error:', error)
-      // Handle other types of errors
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Common Error Categories
-
-```typescript
-enum ErrorCategory {
-  NETWORK = 'network',
-  WALLET = 'wallet', 
-  VALIDATION = 'validation',
-  AUTHENTICATION = 'authentication',
-  INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS = 'insufficient_funds',
-  SCRIPT = 'script',
-  CRYPTOGRAPHIC = 'cryptographic'
-}
-
-interface CategorizedError {
-  category: ErrorCategory
-  message: string
-  originalError: Error
-  retryable: boolean
-  suggestedAction?: string
-}
-
-function categorizeError(error: Error): CategorizedError {
-  const message = error.message.toLowerCase()
-  
-  if (message.includes('insufficient funds')) {
-    return {
-      category: ErrorCategory.INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS,
-      message: error.message,
-      originalError: error,
-      retryable: true,
-      suggestedAction: 'Check wallet balance and available UTXOs'
-    }
-  }
-  
-  if (message.includes('rpc error') || message.includes('no header should have returned false')) {
-    return {
-      category: ErrorCategory.NETWORK,
-      message: error.message,
-      originalError: error,
-      retryable: true,
-      suggestedAction: 'Wait for wallet synchronization or restart wallet'
-    }
-  }
-  
-  if (message.includes('not authenticated') || message.includes('authentication')) {
-    return {
-      category: ErrorCategory.AUTHENTICATION,
-      message: error.message,
-      originalError: error,
-      retryable: true,
-      suggestedAction: 'Re-authenticate with wallet'
-    }
-  }
-  
-  if (message.includes('script') || message.includes('validation')) {
-    return {
-      category: ErrorCategory.VALIDATION,
-      message: error.message,
-      originalError: error,
-      retryable: false,
-      suggestedAction: 'Check transaction inputs and script validity'
-    }
-  }
-  
-  return {
-    category: ErrorCategory.NETWORK,
-    message: error.message,
-    originalError: error,
-    retryable: false
-  }
-}
-```

-## Retry Mechanisms and Recovery Strategies
-
-### Exponential Backoff Implementation
-
-```typescript

-      'insufficient funds',
-      'rpc error',
-      'no header should have returned false',

-        }
-        
-        // Calculate delay with exponential backoff

-## Network and Chain Tracker Error Handling
-
-### HTTP Client Error Management

-### Practical Retry Implementation
-
-Here's a practical example that handles common wallet errors with specific recovery strategies:
-
-```typescript
-import { WalletClient } from '@bsv/sdk'
-
-async function robustTransactionCreation() {
-  try {
-    const wallet = new WalletClient('auto', 'localhost')
-    
-    const { authenticated } = await wallet.isAuthenticated()
-    if (!authenticated) {
-      await wallet.waitForAuthentication()
-    }
-
-    // Implement retry logic for common wallet issues
-    async function createActionWithRetry(args: any, maxRetries = 3) {
-      for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
-        try {
-          console.log(`Transaction attempt ${attempt}/${maxRetries}`)
-          
-          const result = await wallet.createAction(args)
-          console.log('Transaction successful!')
-          return result
-          
-        } catch (error: any) {
-          console.log(`Attempt ${attempt} failed:`, error.message)
-          
-          if (error.message?.includes('Insufficient funds')) {
-            console.log('Checking available UTXOs...')
-            
-            const { outputs } = await wallet.listOutputs({
-              basket: 'tutorial',
-              limit: 20
-            })
-            
-            const spendableValue = outputs
-              .filter(o => o.spendable)
-              .reduce((sum, o) => sum + o.satoshis, 0)
-            
-            console.log(`Total spendable: ${spendableValue} satoshis`)
-            
-            if (spendableValue < 500) {
-              throw new Error('Insufficient confirmed funds available')
-            }
-            
-            // Try with a smaller amount
-            if (args.outputs && args.outputs[0]) {
-              args.outputs[0].satoshis = Math.min(100, spendableValue - 50)
-              console.log(`Retrying with reduced amount: ${args.outputs[0].satoshis} satoshis`)
-            }
-            
-          } else if (error.message?.includes('no header should have returned false')) {
-            console.log('Wallet synchronization issue detected')
-            console.log('Waiting for wallet to sync...')
-            await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000))
-            
-          } else if (error.message?.includes('RPC Error')) {
-            console.log('RPC communication error, retrying...')
-            await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000))
-            
-          } else {
-            // For other errors, don't retry
-            throw error
-          }
-          
-          if (attempt === maxRetries) {
-            throw new Error(`Transaction failed after ${maxRetries} attempts: ${error.message}`)
-          }
-        }
-      }
-    }
-
-    // Use the robust transaction creation
-    const result = await createActionWithRetry({
-      description: 'Robust transaction with error handling',
-      outputs: [
-        {
-          satoshis: 100,
-          lockingScript: '006a0e526f6275737420746573742074786e', // "Robust test txn"
-          outputDescription: 'Error handling demo'
-        }
-      ]
-    })
-
-    if (result && result.txid) {
-      console.log(`Robust transaction created: ${result.txid}`)
-    } else {
-      console.log('Transaction completed but no TXID returned')
-    }
-
-  } catch (error: unknown) {
-    console.error('Final error:', error)
-  }
-}
-
-robustTransactionCreation().catch(console.error)
-```
-
-This example demonstrates:
-
-- **Specific error pattern matching** for different error types
-- **Dynamic amount adjustment** for insufficient funds
-- **Wallet synchronization handling** with appropriate delays
-- **RPC error recovery** with retry logic
-- **Graceful degradation** when all retries are exhausted

-## Conclusion
-
-You've now mastered comprehensive error handling for the BSV TypeScript SDK. You can:
-
-- Categorize and handle different types of errors appropriately
-- Implement robust retry mechanisms with exponential backoff
-- Handle wallet-specific errors and authentication issues
-- Manage network failures and chain tracker problems
-- Validate cryptographic operations and handle edge cases
-- Build production-ready error monitoring and logging systems
-- Create user-friendly error messages and recovery strategies
-- Test error scenarios systematically
-
-These patterns enable you to build resilient Bitcoin applications that gracefully handle failures and provide excellent user experiences even when things go wrong.
