✓ No silent failures - all errors reported  
✓ Admin verification blocks non-admin execution  
✓ File validation before sourcing  
✓ Command availability checks  
✓ Comprehensive error handling  
✓ Clear error messaging with context  
✓ Graceful degradation (GUI → TUI)  

### Validation System
✓ 9+ automated preflight checks  
✓ Blocks execution if critical checks fail  
✓ Reports detailed status for each check  
✓ Configurable error patterns  
✓ Line-level error detection  

### Path & Module Safety
