//! Unified error type for the TLE mean-elements propagator.

use thiserror::Error;

/// Errors produced while constructing or evaluating a [`TlePropagator`](crate::astro::sgp4::TlePropagator).
///
/// The variants split cleanly into three groups:
///
/// * **Initialisation** ([`InvalidElements`](Sgp4Error::InvalidElements),
///   [`InvalidEpoch`](Sgp4Error::InvalidEpoch)) — the TLE record is structurally
///   well-formed but its mean elements cannot be validated (e.g. eccentricity
///   outside `[0, 1)`, sub-orbital mean motion, malformed UTC epoch).
/// * **Propagation** ([`Propagation`](Sgp4Error::Propagation)) — propagation
///   diverged at the requested epoch (typical for very large `|Δt|` on
///   decayed objects or degenerate element sets).
/// * **Time conversion** ([`TimeConversion`](Sgp4Error::TimeConversion)) — the
///   target epoch supplied as a [`tempoch::JulianDate<tempoch::UTC>`] cannot be
///   represented as a calendar instant, e.g. it falls outside the leap-second
///   table covered by the active [`tempoch::TimeContext`].
///
/// # Examples
///
/// ```
/// use siderust::astro::sgp4::Sgp4Error;
/// let e = Sgp4Error::InvalidEpoch("year out of range");
/// assert!(matches!(e, Sgp4Error::InvalidEpoch(_)));
/// assert!(e.to_string().contains("epoch"));
/// ```
