# Error Handling

The SDK returns tuples for execution outcomes and uses a single structured error envelope: `%AmpSdk.Error{}`.

## `run/2` Return Values

`AmpSdk.run/2` returns `{:ok, result}` or `{:error, %AmpSdk.Error{}}`:

```elixir
case AmpSdk.run("do something") do
  {:ok, result} ->
    IO.puts(result)

  {:error, %AmpSdk.Error{kind: :no_result}} ->
    IO.puts("No result received")

  {:error, %AmpSdk.Error{kind: kind, message: message}} ->
    IO.puts("#{kind}: #{message}")
end
```

Common `kind` values include `:cli_not_found`, `:command_timeout`,
`:stream_timeout`, `:run_deadline_exceeded`, `:unsupported_capability`,
`:task_timeout`, `:command_failed`, `:execution_failed`, and
`:invalid_configuration`.

## Exception Types

`AmpSdk.Error` can be raised in explicit bang APIs or direct constructor usage:

- `AmpSdk.Error` (primary exception envelope)

Use tuple returns where possible and pattern-match on `%AmpSdk.Error{}` in application code.

## Shared-Core Transport Errors

The SDK no longer exposes a separate Amp-owned raw transport wrapper. Shared
core transport failures still normalize into tagged tuples or exceptions under
the hood:

```elixir
{:error, {:transport, reason}}
```

Normalize these when you need the unified envelope:

```elixir
error = AmpSdk.Error.normalize({:transport, :timeout}, kind: :transport_error)
```

## Streaming Errors

When using `AmpSdk.execute/2`, errors are delivered inline as `ErrorResultMessage` structs rather than raising exceptions:

```elixir
AmpSdk.execute("prompt")
|> Enum.each(fn
  %AmpSdk.Types.ErrorResultMessage{error: error, permission_denials: denials} ->
    IO.puts("Error: #{error}")
    if denials, do: IO.puts("Denied tools: #{inspect(denials)}")

  %AmpSdk.Types.ResultMessage{result: result} ->
    IO.puts("Success: #{result}")

  _ -> :ok
end)
```

## Timeout Handling

Use `Options.stream_timeout_ms` for idle receive control and
`Options.run_deadline_ms` for a non-rearming total limit:

```elixir
alias AmpSdk.Types.Options

AmpSdk.execute("slow task", %Options{
  stream_timeout_ms: 30_000,
  run_deadline_ms: 180_000
})
|> Enum.to_list()
```

Requests for `completion_only: true` or a non-`nil` `output_schema` fail before
CLI resolution with `kind: :unsupported_capability`. The error details retain
the Core `provider`, `feature`, `option`, and `support_state` fields.

You can still wrap long-running calls in a `Task` if you need outer cancellation:

```elixir
task = Task.async(fn -> AmpSdk.run("slow task") end)

case Task.yield(task, 30_000) || Task.shutdown(task) do
  {:ok, {:ok, result}} -> IO.puts(result)
  {:ok, {:error, %AmpSdk.Error{message: msg}}} -> IO.puts("Error: #{msg}")
  nil -> IO.puts("Timed out after 30s")
end
```
