addresses: CWE-248

Prevents abrupt termination from uncaught exceptions by requiring a defined, preserved-state failure mode.

SI-17 Fail-safe Procedures
addresses: CWE-248

Requires pre-defined safe responses for uncaught exceptions so they do not result in undefined or insecure program termination.
