## Test Results

| Test Case | Result | Error Message |
|-----------|--------|---------------|
| invalid-manifest | ❌ FAIL | JSON parse error |
| network-failure | ✅ PASS | No error detected |
| invalid-repository | ✅ PASS | No error detected |
| missing-packages | ✅ PASS | No error detected |

## Error Analysis

### JSON Validation Errors
- **Invalid manifest**: Should fail with JSON schema validation error
- **Expected behavior**: Clear error message about malformed JSON

### Package Resolution Errors
- **Missing packages**: Should fail with package not found error
- **Expected behavior**: Clear error message about missing packages

### Network Errors
- **Invalid repository**: Should fail with network/connection error
- **Expected behavior**: Clear error message about repository access

### Recovery Recommendations

1. **JSON Validation**
   - Implement better JSON schema validation
   - Provide clear error messages for malformed manifests
   - Add manifest validation tools

2. **Package Resolution**
   - Improve package not found error messages
   - Add package availability checking
   - Implement package suggestion system

3. **Network Errors**
   - Add network connectivity checks
   - Implement retry mechanisms
   - Provide fallback repository options

4. **General Error Handling**
   - Add error recovery mechanisms
   - Implement graceful degradation
   - Provide detailed error logging

## Next Steps

1. Implement comprehensive error handling
2. Add error recovery mechanisms
3. Improve error messages
4. Add validation tools
5. Implement retry logic
