Load when writing a catch block, a user-facing error string, a disabled control, a progress indicator, or choosing telemetry levels. Does not fire on content loss through filters (no-silent-data-drop) or on test skip semantics (prove-it-can-fail).\n---\n\n# Honest failure surfacing\n\nThree field incidents where the surface lied about what failed, plus a storage failure that\nstayed invisible for hours behind a swallowing loop and a cosmetic progress bar. Layer:\nnorm + playbook — the one-line norm in the global CLAUDE.md is the everyday trigger; this\nfile is the depth.\n\n## The rule\n\nEvery distinct failure mode gets its own user-facing message; never collapse them into one\nreassuring string. A surface that cannot say what failed sends the user (and the developer)\nto fix the wrong thing.\n\n## How to apply\n\n- **Classify before wording.** A catch block once painted every transcription failure as\n  \"No connection\" while the real cause was a malformed-JWT 401 — costing hours of a field\n  inspection. Distinguish at minimum: auth, offline, server, and input failures.\n- **A disabled control cannot explain itself.** A `disabled` button swallows the tap, and\n  the handler holding the explanation never runs. If a control can legitimately fail a\n  precondition, let it be pressed and have it say why.\n- **Per-item failures in a loop surface to the user**, not just to a log. A sync loop that\n  swallowed per-photo upload errors showed a fake \"Uploading…\" pulse forever; nothing was\n  uploading. Progress UI reflects real progress or it is a lie.\n- **A permanently-failed item is surfaced as given up**, not silently retried forever — and\n  never allowed to wedge the rest of the queue.\n- **Error level is for terminal states.** Self-healing retries logged at `error` drowned the\n  one terminal give-up that mattered. Retries log at warning; the give-up logs at error.\n\n## What this skill does not do\n\nIt does not decide what happens to the data on a failing path — no-silent-data-drop owns\ncontent preservation. It does not define skip semantics in tests — prove-it-can-fail owns\ncheck integrity.\n\n## Why\n\nA wrong error message is worse than none: it actively redirects diagnosis. Every incident in\nthe evidence cost hours specifically because the surface asserted a cause it had not\nestablished. Evidence: ASH LESSONS_LEARNED 2026-05-28, 2026-06-18, 2026-07-14 (offline), and\nthe CLAUDE.md storage-RLS upsert lesson; ICC L-007 (shared evidence with\nguard-the-spend-paths).\n","tagline":"Playbook for the always-on norm \"one message per failure mode; error level is for terminal states only\".
