better-result Adoption

Migrate existing error handling (try/catch, Promise rejections, thrown exceptions) to typed Result-based error handling with better-result.

When to Use

• Adopting better-result in existing codebase
• Converting try/catch blocks to Result types
• Replacing thrown exceptions with typed errors
• Migrating Promise-based code to Result.tryPromise
• Introducing railway-oriented programming patterns

Migration Strategy

1. Start at Boundaries

Begin migration at I/O boundaries (API calls, DB queries, file ops) and work inward. Don't attempt full-codebase migration at once.

2. Identify Error Categories
