+- ║ ✅ PRODUCTION-LEVEL ERROR HANDLING - IMPLEMENTATION SUMMARY ║
+- ║ ║
+- ╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
+-
+- PROBLEM SOLVED:
+- ❌ No more random res.status(500).json(...) scattered throughout code
+- ❌ No distinction between operational and programmer errors
+- ❌ Inconsistent error response formats
+- ❌ No centralized error handling
+-
+- SOLUTION PROVIDED:
+- ✅ Centralized error handler - ALL errors flow through one place
+- ✅ Error classification - Operational vs Programmer errors
+- ✅ Consistent responses - Standardized JSON format everywhere
+- ✅ Comprehensive logging - Full context for debugging
+- ✅ Production-safe - Hides internal details in production
+-
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- ERROR CLASS HIERARCHY (Use these, never res.status().json()!)
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- AppError (base - isOperational, code, context, cause, timestamp)
+- │
+- ├─ ValidationError (422) → Input validation failed
+- ├─ BadRequestError (400) → Malformed request
+- ├─ AuthenticationError (401) → Auth credentials invalid
+- ├─ AuthorizationError (403) → Permission denied
+- ├─ NotFoundError (404) → Resource doesn't exist
+- ├─ ConflictError (409) → Duplicate/conflict
+- └─ InternalServerError (500) → Unexpected error (programmer bug)
+-
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- ERROR FLOW (How every error is handled)
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- Request arrives
+-      ↓
+- Route handler (MUST wrap with asyncHandler)
+-      ├─ Success? → sendSuccess(res, data) → Response sent ✓
+-      │
+-      └─ Error thrown ✘
+-         ↓
+- asyncHandler catches it
+-         ↓
+- Global error handler middleware (MUST be last)
+-         ↓
+- Error normalized
+- ├─ AppError? → Use as is
+- ├─ ZodError? → Convert to ValidationError
+- ├─ TypeError? → Convert to InternalServerError
+- ├─ ReferenceError? → Convert to InternalServerError
+- └─ Unknown? → Wrap in InternalServerError
+-         ↓
+- Error classified
+- ├─ Operational (isOperational: true)
+- │ └─ Log as WARN, send full details to client
+- │
+- └─ Programmer (isOperational: false)
+-     ├─ Log as ERROR with full stack trace
+-     └─ Send generic message in production
+-         ↓
+- Consistent JSON response sent
+-
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- RESPONSE FORMAT (Always consistent)
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- SUCCESS (200, 201, etc.)
+- {
+- "success": true,
+- "message": "User created successfully",
+- "data": { ... },
+- "timestamp": "2024-01-19T15:55:30.000Z"
+- }
+-
+- OPERATIONAL ERROR (400, 401, 403, 404, 409, 422)
+- {
+- "success": false,
+- "message": "User not found",
+- "code": "NOT_FOUND",
+- "statusCode": 404,
+- "context": { "id": "999" },
+- "timestamp": "2024-01-19T15:55:30.000Z"
+- }
+-
+- VALIDATION ERROR (422)
+- {
+- "success": false,
+- "message": "Validation failed",
+- "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
+- "statusCode": 422,
+- "errors": [
+-     { "field": "email", "message": "Invalid email", "code": "invalid_email" }
+- ],
+- "timestamp": "2024-01-19T15:55:30.000Z"

+- }
+- (Details hidden in production)
+-
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- HOW TO USE (4 Golden Rules)
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- 1.  WRAP ASYNC HANDLERS WITH asyncHandler
+- ✅ router.post("/users", asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
+-         const user = await createUser(...);
+-         sendSuccess(res, user, 201, "Created");
+-       }));
+- ❌ router.post("/users", async (req, res) => { ... }); // Error leaks!
+-
+- 2.  THROW AppError (Never use res.status().json()!)
+- ✅ if (!user) throw new NotFoundError("User", { id });
+- ✅ if (exists) throw new ConflictError("Email already exists");
+- ❌ res.status(404).json({ error: "User not found" }); // WRONG!
+-
+- 3.  VALIDATE WITH validateRequest MIDDLEWARE
+- ✅ router.post("/users", validateRequest(schema), handler);
+- ❌ Just accept raw data without validation
+-
+- 4.  SEND SUCCESS WITH sendSuccess HELPER
+- ✅ sendSuccess(res, data, 200, "Success message");
+- ❌ res.json(data); // Inconsistent format
+-
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- LOGGING BEHAVIOR
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- OPERATIONAL ERROR (WARN level - expected, can be handled)
+- [2024-01-19T15:55:30.000Z] WARN: Operational Error: NOT_FOUND
+- {
+- "type": "OPERATIONAL",
+- "code": "NOT_FOUND",
+- "message": "User not found",
+- "statusCode": 404,
+- "method": "GET",
+- "path": "/api/users/999"
+- }
+-
+- PROGRAMMER ERROR (ERROR level - unexpected, needs fixing)
+- [2024-01-19T15:55:30.000Z] ERROR: Programmer Error: REFERENCE_ERROR
+- {
+- "type": "PROGRAMMER",
+- "code": "REFERENCE_ERROR",
+- "message": "user is not defined",
+- "statusCode": 500,
+- "method": "GET",
+- "path": "/api/users/123"
+- }
+- ReferenceError: user is not defined
+-     at getUserHandler (/app/src/modules/users/controller.js:15:3)
+-     at processRequest (/app/src/middlewares/errorHandler.js:42:5)

+-
+- RUNNING THE SERVER
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- DEVELOPMENT (with auto-reload):
+- $ npm run dev
+-
+- PRODUCTION:
+- $ npm start
+-
+- SERVER STARTS WITH:
+- [2024-01-19T15:55:01.329Z] INFO: Express app configured successfully
+- [2024-01-19T15:55:01.329Z] INFO: 🔥 Server running in development mode {
+- "url": "http://localhost:3000",
+- "port": 3000
+- }
+-
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- EXAMPLE: CREATE USER ENDPOINT
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
+- import { asyncHandler, ConflictError } from "./middlewares/errorHandler.js";
+- import { sendSuccess } from "./utils/response.js";
+- import { validateRequest } from "./middlewares/validateRequest.js";
+- import { z } from "zod";
+-
+- // 1. Define validation schema
+- const createUserSchema = z.object({
+- body: z.object({
+-     email: z.string().email("Invalid email"),
+-     name: z.string().min(1, "Name required"),
+- }),
+- });
+-
+- // 2. Define handler (wrapped with asyncHandler)
+- export const createUser = asyncHandler(async (req, res) => {
+- const { email, name } = req.validatedData.body;
+-
+- // Check for duplicate (throw operational error)
+- const exists = await User.findOne({ email });
+- if (exists) {
+-     throw new ConflictError("Email already exists", { email });
+- }
+-
+- // Create user (any error thrown here is caught by global handler)
+- const user = await User.create({ email, name });
+-
+- // Send success response
+- sendSuccess(res, user, 201, "User created successfully");
+- });
+-
+- // 3. Use in routes
+- router.post("/users", validateRequest(createUserSchema), createUser);
+-
+- RESULT:
+- ✅ Validation error (422) → Field-level details
+- ✅ Duplicate email (409) → Conflict error
+- ✅ Database error (500) → Stack trace logged, generic message sent
+- ✅ Success (201) → Consistent success response
+-
+- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+-
