[ENGINEERING] Code Quality: Reduce unsafe panic points (unwrap/expect) #63

Description

@developerfred

Problem

Found 231 instances of unwrap(), expect(), and panic!() across 28 files. These are potential runtime panics that should be converted to proper error handling.

Files with Most Issues

  • src/compiler/parser/parser.rs - 79 instances
  • src/compiler/parser/tests.rs - 25 instances
  • src/security/security_scanner.rs - 20 instances
  • src/compiler/codegen/tests.rs - 14 instances
  • src/compiler/optimizer/tests.rs - 14 instances

Impact

  • Potential for panics in production
  • Poor user experience when errors occur
  • Makes debugging harder

Recommendation

  1. Convert unwrap/expect in production code to Result<T, E> with ? operator
  2. Keep unwrap/expect in tests (acceptable for test code)
  3. Use thiserror for custom error types
  4. Consider using anyhow for application-level error handling

Priority

High - These affect production stability
