## Quick Start

### 1. Capture an Error

```bash
./cli/capture-error.sh \
  --agent-id "agent-123" \
  --error-type "TIMEOUT" \
  --message "Agent timed out after 900s" \
  --context "Loop 3 implementation"
```

### 2. Batch Errors for Processing

```bash
./cli/batch-errors.sh \
  --input errors.json \
  --max-batch-size 5 \
  --output batches.json
```

### 3. Log an Error

```bash
./cli/log-error.sh \
  --task-id "task-123" \
  --agent-id "agent-123" \
  --error-type "VALIDATION" \
  --message "Output validation failed"
```

## Module Details

### Capture Module (lib/capture/)

**Purpose:** Standardized error capture and categorization

**Error Types:**
- TIMEOUT - Agent execution timeout
- CRASH - Agent process crash
- VALIDATION - Output validation failure
- COORDINATION - Redis coordination failure (CLI mode only; task-mode default has no Redis)
- UNKNOWN - Uncategorized errors

**Features:**
- Standardized error format
- Category-based recovery strategies
- Context preservation

### Batching Module (lib/batching/)

**Purpose:** Group errors for batch agent processing

**Features:**
- Error clustering by file
- Wave calculation for parallel processing
- Tier-based batching (small/medium/large)
- Template-based batch configuration

### Logging Module (lib/logging/)

**Purpose:** Error log storage and management

**Features:**
- Structured error logging
- Log cleanup and rotation
- Integration with CLI and Docker modes
- TypeScript implementation

---

## Integration with CFN Loop

```bash
# 1. Capture error when agent fails
./cli/capture-error.sh \
  --agent-id "$AGENT_ID" \
  --error-type "TIMEOUT" \
  --message "$ERROR_MESSAGE"

# 2. Log the error
./cli/log-error.sh \
  --task-id "$TASK_ID" \
  --agent-id "$AGENT_ID" \
  --error-type "TIMEOUT"

# 3. Batch multiple errors for batch processing
./cli/batch-errors.sh --input collected-errors.json
```
