oaknut-exception 11.0.1

Categorised exceptions and CLI error-reporting boundary for the oaknut package family.

oaknut-exception

Categorised exceptions and a CLI error-reporting boundary for the oaknut-* family of packages.

The package defines a small exception hierarchy that every other oaknut-* package's domain errors slot into:

• OaknutException — root of the hierarchy. Carries an exit_code property derived from the BSD sysexits.h set (via the exit-codes package).
• DataError — the operation failed because of the data it was given (a user-supplied path, a corrupted on-disc structure, an unsupported filetype). No traceback at the CLI boundary.
• ConfigurationError — the operation failed because of a runtime environment / configuration issue. No traceback at the CLI boundary.
• InternalError — the operation failed because something went wrong inside the library. Traceback retained at the CLI boundary so the report-an-issue path is obvious.

Plus a single error-handling boundary helper:

• handled_errors — a context manager (also usable as a decorator) that catches DataError and ConfigurationError, prints them via a caller-supplied printer, and exits with the most appropriate ExitCode. InternalError and unexpected exceptions propagate so their tracebacks reach the user. KeyboardInterrupt exits with the conventional 128 + SIGINT status.

This package is what every oaknut-disc-like CLI uses to map library errors onto stable exit codes without dropping into try/except in every command.
