The application lacks React Error Boundaries, creating a critical gap in error handling that could result in complete application crashes from unhandled component errors.
Technical Analysis:
- Current State: No error boundary components found in codebase
- Risk: Any unhandled JavaScript error in React components causes the entire application to unmount and display a blank screen
- User Impact: Poor user experience with no graceful error recovery
- Common Triggers: Network failures, API errors, third-party library issues, unexpected data formats
Missing Implementations:
- Route-level error boundaries
- Component-level error boundaries for critical features
- Global error boundary wrapper
- Error reporting and logging mechanisms
Affected Areas: All React components, especially debate rooms, authentication, WebSocket connections
