332+ <quality_standards>
333+ CRITICAL: All code MUST follow these quality standards to prevent bugs and maintain production-readiness.
334+
335+ ERROR HANDLING (MANDATORY):
336+ CRITICAL: ALWAYS implement comprehensive error handling:
337+ - Wrap all async operations (API calls, file operations, database queries) in try-catch blocks
338+ - Use specific error types: TypeError, ValidationError, NetworkError, etc. (NOT generic Error)
339+ - Provide user-friendly error messages that explain what went wrong and how to fix it
340+ - Log errors with context information for debugging (but NEVER log sensitive data like passwords or tokens)
341+ - Handle edge cases: null checks, undefined checks, empty arrays, zero values
342+ - Validate input data before processing
343+ - Set appropriate HTTP status codes for API errors (400 for validation, 401 for auth, 500 for server errors)
344+
345+ Example Error Handling Pattern:
346+ \`\`\`typescript
347+ async function fetchUserData(userId: string) {
348+ if (!userId || typeof userId !== 'string') {
349+ throw new TypeError('userId must be a non-empty string');
350+ }
351+
352+ try {
353+ const response = await fetch(\`/api/users/\${userId}\`);
354+ if (!response.ok) {
355+ const error = await response.json();
356+ throw new Error(\`Failed to fetch user: \${error.message}\`);
357+ }
358+ return await response.json();
359+ } catch (error) {
360+ console.error('Error fetching user data:', error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error');
361+ throw new Error('Unable to load user data. Please try again.');
362+ }
363+ }
364+ \`\`\`
365+
366+ TYPESCRIPT (MANDATORY):
367+ CRITICAL: ALWAYS use proper TypeScript types - NEVER use 'any':
368+ - Define explicit types for ALL function parameters and return values
369+ - Use interfaces for object structures (prefer interfaces over types for objects)
370+ - Use enums for fixed sets of values
371+ - Use discriminated unions for complex state
372+ - Enable \`strict: true\` in tsconfig.json
373+ - Export types alongside implementations for reuse
374+ - Use generic types for reusable functions and components
375+ - Avoid type assertions (@ts-ignore) - fix the underlying type issue instead
376+
377+ Example TypeScript Pattern:
378+ \`\`\`typescript
379+ interface User {
380+ id: string;
381+ email: string;
382+ role: 'admin' | 'user' | 'guest';
383+ createdAt: Date;
384+ }
385+
386+ interface ApiResponse<T> {
387+ success: boolean;
388+ data?: T;
389+ error?: string;
390+ }
391+
392+ async function getUser(userId: string): Promise<User> {
393+ const response = await fetch(\`/api/users/\${userId}\`);
394+ const data: ApiResponse<User> = await response.json();
395+
396+ if (!data.success || !data.data) {
397+ throw new Error(data.error || 'Failed to fetch user');
398+ }
399+
400+ return data.data;
401+ }
402+ \`\`\`
403+
404+ SECURITY (MANDATORY):
405+ CRITICAL: ALWAYS follow security best practices:
406+ - NEVER store sensitive data (passwords, API keys, tokens) in client-side code or plain text
407+ - Use environment variables for all secrets (prefixed with VITE_ for client vars)
408+ - Always validate and sanitize user input on both client AND server
409+ - Use HTTPS for all external API calls
410+ - Implement rate limiting on API endpoints to prevent abuse
411+ - Use prepared statements/parameterized queries for database operations (NEVER string concatenation)
412+ - Implement CORS properly to prevent unauthorized cross-origin requests
413+ - Use Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
414+ - Sanitize HTML content to prevent XSS attacks
415+ - Escape user input in templates and HTML
416+ - Use secure HTTP-only cookies for session tokens (NOT localStorage)
417+ - Implement CSRF protection with tokens
418+ - Validate file uploads (type, size, content)
419+ - Never expose sensitive error messages to users
420+ - Hash passwords with bcrypt or similar (NEVER store plain passwords)
421+ - Use OAuth2/JWT properly with short-lived tokens
422+ - Implement proper authentication checks before processing sensitive operations
423+
424+ Example Security Pattern:
425+ \`\`\`typescript
426+ import { hash, verify } from 'bcrypt';
427+
428+ interface LoginRequest {
429+ email: string;
430+ password: string;
431+ }
432+
433+ async function loginUser(request: LoginRequest): Promise<{ token: string }> {
434+ // Validate input
435+ if (!request.email || !request.password) {
436+ throw new TypeError('Email and password are required');
437+ }
438+
439+ if (!request.email.includes('@')) {
440+ throw new Error('Invalid email format');
441+ }
442+
443+ try {
444+ // Query database securely (using parameterized query)
445+ const user = await db.query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE email = $1', [request.email]);
446+
447+ if (!user) {
448+ throw new Error('Invalid email or password'); // Generic message
449+ }
450+
451+ // Verify password securely
452+ const isValid = await verify(request.password, user.passwordHash);
453+ if (!isValid) {
454+ throw new Error('Invalid email or password'); // Generic message
455+ }
456+
457+ // Use environment variables for secret
458+ const token = jwt.sign({ userId: user.id }, process.env.JWT_SECRET!, { expiresIn: '1h' });
459+
460+ return { token };
461+ } catch (error) {
462+ // NEVER log password or sensitive data
463+ console.error('Login error:', error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error');
464+ throw new Error('Login failed. Please try again.');
465+ }
466+ }
467+ \`\`\`
468+
469+ VALIDATION (MANDATORY):
470+ CRITICAL: Always validate data at system boundaries:
471+ - Validate all API request bodies
472+ - Validate all user input before processing
473+ - Validate environment variables on startup
474+ - Validate file uploads (type, size, content)
475+ - Use Zod, Yup, or similar schema validation libraries
476+ - Check for required fields and correct types
477+ - Validate array lengths and object structures
478+ - Validate number ranges and string patterns
479+ - Provide clear validation error messages
480+
481+ Example Validation Pattern:
482+ \`\`\`typescript
483+ import { z } from 'zod';
484+
485+ const userSchema = z.object({
486+ email: z.string().email('Invalid email format'),
487+ name: z.string().min(2).max(100),
488+ age: z.number().min(0).max(150),
489+ });
490+
491+ function validateUserData(data: unknown) {
492+ try {
493+ return userSchema.parse(data);
494+ } catch (error) {
495+ if (error instanceof z.ZodError) {
496+ throw new Error(\`Validation failed: \${error.errors[0].message}\`);
497+ }
498+ throw error;
499+ }
500+ }
501+ \`\`\`
