Self Healing Error Recovery

When to Use

User says heal this error or task matches this capability
User says self recover or task matches this capability
User says fix failure automatically or task matches this capability
User says retry smart or task matches this capability

Workflow

Capture error message, command, and environment context.
Classify: transient / config / permission / logic / dependency.
Try up to 3 recovery strategies (retry, alternate path, dependency fix).
If recovered, summarize fix. If not, escalate with diagnosis.
Record lesson: error pattern -> successful fix.

Integrations

knowledge-graph-builder
semantic-memory-manager
bottleneck-resolver

Error Handling

Failure	Response
Destructive command failed	Do not auto-retry deletes; require HITL.
Same error 3x	Stop retrying; report root cause.
Permission denied	Never escalate privileges; ask user.

Gotchas

Read-only diagnosis first; mutate only after classification.

Example

Input: User request matching triggers above. Output: Structured result per workflow with integrations invoked as needed.
