Implement structured error logging with error codes #17

Description

@BunsDev

Problem

Error handling across the codebase is inconsistent:

  • Some try-catch blocks silently swallow errors (especially JSON parsing in ingestion)
  • API routes return generic "Unexpected server error" with no error code
  • No structured logging format — errors are logged as raw strings or not at all
  • Debugging production issues requires reading source code to trace error origins

Proposed Solution

1. Error Code Registry

// lib/opentrust/errors.ts
export enum ErrorCode {
  DB_CONNECTION_FAILED = "DB_CONNECTION_FAILED",
  DB_QUERY_FAILED = "DB_QUERY_FAILED",
  AUTH_INVALID_CREDENTIALS = "AUTH_INVALID_CREDENTIALS",
  AUTH_TOKEN_EXPIRED = "AUTH_TOKEN_EXPIRED",
  VALIDATION_FAILED = "VALIDATION_FAILED",
  INGESTION_PARSE_ERROR = "INGESTION_PARSE_ERROR",
  MEMORY_NOT_FOUND = "MEMORY_NOT_FOUND",
  SEARCH_QUERY_INVALID = "SEARCH_QUERY_INVALID",
  // ...
}

2. Structured Logger

// lib/opentrust/logger.ts
logger.error({
  code: ErrorCode.INGESTION_PARSE_ERROR,
  message: "Failed to parse session JSON",
  context: { sessionId, filePath },
  error: originalError,
});

3. Audit Trail

  • Errors logged with timestamp, code, context, and stack trace
  • Replace all silent catch blocks with explicit logging

Acceptance Criteria

  • Error code enum covers all known error categories
  • Structured logger utility created with error, warn, info levels
  • All try-catch blocks use the structured logger (no silent swallowing)
  • API error responses include error codes
  • Unit tests for the logger utility
