Does it provide user-facing error strings?

Yes, it utilizes LocalizedError and errorDescription patterns to ensure errors can be easily presented to users in a friendly manner.

Can I use these patterns for both iOS and tvOS?

Absolutely. The Swift error handling logic and protocols provided are platform-agnostic across the Apple ecosystem.

Does this skill support Swift's modern concurrency?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for handling errors within async/await functions, Task blocks, and Actors.

What advanced recovery strategies are included?

The skill covers complex patterns like Exponential Backoff for retries and the Circuit Breaker pattern to handle service outages gracefully.
