## Error Handling Patterns
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### Graceful Degradation
 | 
			
		||||
- **Permission denied**: Fall back to read-only mode
 | 
			
		||||
- **DNS resolution failure**: Show error but continue
 | 
			
		||||
- **File corruption**: Load what's possible, warn user
 | 
			
		||||
- **Network unavailable**: Disable DNS features
 | 
			
		||||
- **Permission denied**: Fall back to read-only mode with clear status indication
 | 
			
		||||
- **Configuration errors**: Use defaults and continue with warning
 | 
			
		||||
- **File corruption**: Load what's possible, warn user, maintain functionality
 | 
			
		||||
- **DNS resolution failure**: Show error but continue (planned for Phase 5)
 | 
			
		||||
- **Network unavailable**: Disable DNS features (planned for Phase 5)
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
### User Feedback
