Failure model

Failure model
BoundaryExpected behavior
Image deliveryFallback surface, useful text and no distorted broken image.
Search/listDifferentiate empty result, loading and service error.
Save/publishPreserve edits, show a truthful outcome and avoid duplicate submission.
Media batchIdentify failed item; retain local metadata and retry context.
Map providerExplain unavailability and retain useful local category context.
Analytics providerMissing configuration/error differs from zero visitors.
Theme/font storageReadable fallback presentation without dependency on successful storage or custom font delivery.

Coverage boundary

The capture environment intentionally disables live services. Some unavailability paths are visible in native routes; provider recovery needs targeted fault injection in a safe environment. Do not infer end-to-end resilience from a populated fixture.
