Description

Remove the anyhow crate, and replace with a custom CardwireError

The goal would be have a better error handling in the future, with more recoverable errors

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Error Handling
    • Improved consistency and clarity of error reporting across daemon operations.
    • Added more specific feedback for configuration, state, database, hardware, and mode-related failures.
    • Invalid mode values now produce a descriptive application error.
  • Reliability
    • Improved error handling when reading, creating, parsing, and saving configuration and state files.
    • Existing daemon, monitoring, GPU, and mode-management behavior remains unchanged.

Walkthrough

The daemon removes its anyhow workspace dependency and adopts shared CardwireError and Result types across error contracts, file handling, analysis, interfaces, manager tasks, and D-Bus mode handling.

Changes

Cardwire error-path consolidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared error contracts
crates/cardwire-daemon/src/core/errors.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/types.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/core/inode.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/core/pci/*
CardwireError replaces the previous public error types. Typed variants and the crate-level Result alias are added. Mode conversion now returns CardwireError::UnknownMode.
Typed file and state errors
crates/cardwire-daemon/src/file/*
Configuration, default file creation, SQLite policy updates, and mode/GPU state helpers use Result and map errors to typed CardwireError variants.
Runtime Result propagation
crates/cardwire-daemon/src/analyzer/*, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/daemon.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/interface/*, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/manager.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/src/tasks/watch_power_state.rs, crates/cardwire-daemon/Cargo.toml
Analyzer, daemon, interface, manager, and power-state APIs use the shared Result type. D-Bus mode errors convert to fdo::Error::Failed. The anyhow workspace dependency is removed.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 968e7

The error-handling change still allows default file creation to report success after directory or file-write failures, which can cause confusing startup failures later. Merge should wait for this behavior to be corrected or explicitly accepted.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/cardwire-daemon/src/file/common.rs`:
- Around line 22-29: Update create_default_folder and create_default_file to
propagate every filesystem error instead of converting unlisted create_dir_all
or fs::write failures into success. In create_default_file, when the write
returns NotFound, recreate the parent directory and retry the write, returning
any retry error; preserve successful creation as Ok(()) and do not report
success unless the file was actually written.

In `@crates/cardwire-daemon/src/file/state.rs`:
- Around line 129-130: Update the CardwireStateError construction in the GPU
state serialization flow to identify gpu_state.json instead of mode.json, while
preserving the existing serialization and error propagation behavior.

In `@crates/cardwire-daemon/src/interface/mode.rs`:
- Around line 211-213: Update the apply_mode error propagation around
internal_set_mode to preserve CardwireError::FdoError, including the
fdo::Error::NotSupported variant, instead of converting it to fdo::Error::Failed
via err.to_string(). Keep the existing D-Bus error name so clients can
distinguish unsupported modes from internal failures.
