Refactoring Complete - God Class Anti-Pattern Resolved

What Was Accomplished:
Successfully split the monolithic ScraperErrorHandler class into 4 focused classes:

  • ErrorClassifier - Handles error type detection (network, rate limit, auth, parsing, etc.)
  • RetryManager - Manages retry logic with exponential backoff
  • ScraperResponseBuilder - Creates standardized responses and handles validation
  • ScraperMetricsLogger - Handles performance logging and metrics collection

Key Improvements:

  • Reduced code complexity: Main class went from ~400 lines to ~100 lines
  • Single Responsibility: Each class now has one clear purpose
  • Better testability: Smaller, focused classes are easier to unit test
  • Zero breaking changes: Same public API maintained
  • Improved maintainability: Changes to one concern don't affect others

Testing Results:

  • Error handling tests passed - Core functionality verified
  • No breaking changes - Existing code continues to work

Files Created/Modified:

  • backend/src/utils/errorClassifier.js (new)
  • backend/src/utils/retryManager.js (new)
  • backend/src/utils/scraperResponseBuilder.js (new)
  • backend/src/utils/scraperMetricsLogger.js (new)
  • backend/src/utils/scraperErrorHandler.js (refactored)
  • TODO.md (updated with completion status)
