+### Handle errors
+
+Every error from this library carries a stable `code` (see [Error codes](#error-codes)), so you can respond to *why* generation failed rather than parsing OS messages. The hook exposes it as `errorCode`; for a caught error, use `getLocalLLMErrorCode()`.
+
+Foundation Models has a small context window, so a long conversation eventually fails with `ERR_CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED`. The library never drops turns silently; decide what your app should do:
+
+```tsx
+const { errorCode, reset, streamResponse } = useLocalLLM({ instructions });
+
+if (errorCode === 'ERR_CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED') {
+  // Start over, or create a new session seeded with a summary of the chat.
+  reset?.();
+}
+if (errorCode === 'ERR_GUARDRAIL_VIOLATION' || errorCode === 'ERR_REFUSAL') {
+  // The model declined; ask the person to rephrase.
+}
+```
+
+```ts
+import { generate, getLocalLLMErrorCode } from 'expo-local-llm';
+
+try {
+  await generate(prompt);
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof Error && getLocalLLMErrorCode(error) === 'ERR_RATE_LIMITED') {
+    // The system is throttling on-device generation; retry later.
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Using with Effect
+
+The library has no runtime dependencies, so it does not ship [Effect](https://effect.website) bindings. The error codes map directly onto a tagged error, so a wrapper takes a few lines:
+
+```ts
+import { Data, Effect } from 'effect';
+import { generate, getLocalLLMErrorCode, type LocalLLMErrorCode } from 'expo-local-llm';
+
+class LocalLLMFailure extends Data.TaggedError('LocalLLMFailure')<{
+  code: LocalLLMErrorCode | null;
+  message: string;
+}> {}
+
+const generateEffect = (prompt: string) =>
+  Effect.tryPromise({
+    try: () => generate(prompt),
+    catch: (error) =>
+      new LocalLLMFailure({
+        code: error instanceof Error ? getLocalLLMErrorCode(error) : null,
+        message: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Generation failed',
+      }),
+  });
+
+// Recover from one failure by its code.
+const answer = generateEffect('Summarise my notes').pipe(
+  Effect.catchIf(
+    (failure) => failure.code === 'ERR_RATE_LIMITED',
+    () => Effect.succeed('Try again in a moment.'),

+| `ERR_RATE_LIMITED` | The system is throttling generation (quota, background use, load). Retry later. |
+| `ERR_MODEL_UNAVAILABLE` | Model assets are missing or the device cannot run the model right now. |
+| `ERR_DECODING_FAILED` | Output could not be decoded into the requested structure. |
+| `ERR_TIMEOUT` | Generation exceeded the system's time limit (iOS 27+). |
+| `ERR_TOOL_FAILED` | A tool handler threw, timed out, or was removed mid-call. |
+| `ERR_GENERATION_FAILED` | Any other generation failure. |
+| `ERR_SESSION_BUSY` | The session already has a generation in progress. |
+| `ERR_SESSION_INVALID` | The session was released or is not ready. |

 - Events belong to their session. Use a separate session for independent conversations.
 - A session accepts one generation at a time; overlapping requests reject. After cancellation, await the original generation promise before starting another request.

+- **Android**: Gemini Nano SDK is in beta and its API surface may change. Build, module loading, eligibility, and unsupported-feature rejection are device-verified; generation has not been validated on Gemini Nano hardware (`getCapabilities().experimental` is `true`).
+- **Context window**: neither platform trims history to fit the model's context. iOS rejects with `ERR_CONTEXT_WINDOW_EXCEEDED` when the transcript is too long; Android keeps the last 10 exchanges. Call `reset()` or start a new session when that happens.
 - **iOS**: Apple's Foundation Model may refuse certain categories of prompts (e.g. personal health data interpretation) due to built-in safety guardrails.
 - Generation methods (`respond`, `streamResponse`) require a session and `availability === 'available'`. Cancellation remains available while a session exists.
 - Tool calling is iOS 26+ only. Android will throw at session creation if tools are passed.
