🎯 What: Replaced generic except Exception: blocks with targeted except (OSError, ValueError, TypeError): across file I/O and JSON parsing operations in json_memory/memory.py, including line 1173.
💡 Why: Catching Exception blindly makes debugging difficult by masking unrelated errors (like typos or callback failures). Catching specific expected errors ensures bugs fail fast while maintaining fallback behavior where intended.
Verification: Verified by running the full test suite (python -m pytest tests/), ensuring no test failures were introduced and fallback functionality is preserved. Also removed the testing artifact generated while debugging.
Result: Improved maintainability, cleaner error handling, and more reliable exception management during file operations.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!
