Starter Points

• Enforce strict compiler settings and avoid implicit any.
• Define shared contract types for API requests/responses.
• Improve runtime validation at external boundaries.

Exception Handling

• In catch, prefer unknown over any so type checks are required before property access.
• Use narrowing (instanceof, custom type guards) before reading error fields.
• Rethrow errors you are not explicitly handling; only swallow known, intentional cases.

try {
  // ...
} catch (err: unknown) {
  if (err instanceof ConnectionError && err.response?.code === 400) {
    isValid = false;
    return;
  }
  throw err;
}
