Description

Exceptions are per function, and not set in a global manner. Functions should raise the exceptions, and they should be handled in main.

The exceptions set as well are extremely vague and are were not thought of. Try catch blocks should be understood, and not just thrown around.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the exception handling in the codebase. Identify functions that define exceptions locally and refactor to use a common set of exception classes. Ensure that exceptions are raised in functions and caught in the main entry point.
