 * **Phase 3 (BuildHIR) revealed that most error sites already used `builder.errors.push()` for accumulation.** The existing lowering code was designed to accumulate errors rather than throw. The main changes were: (1) changing `lower()` return type from `Result` to `HIRFunction`, (2) recording builder errors on env, (3) adding a try/catch around body lowering to catch thrown CompilerErrors from sub-calls like `resolveBinding()`, (4) treating `var` as `let` instead of skipping declarations, and (5) fixing ForStatement init/test handling to produce valid CFG structure.
 * **Partial HIR can trigger downstream invariants.** When lowering skips or partially handles constructs (e.g., unreachable hoisted functions, `var` declarations before the fix), downstream passes like `InferMutationAliasingEffects` may encounter uninitialized identifiers and throw invariants. This is acceptable since the function still correctly bails out of compilation, but error messages may be less specific. The fix for `var` (treating as `let`) demonstrates how to avoid this: continue lowering with a best-effort representation rather than skipping entirely.
 * **Errors accumulated on `env` are lost when an invariant propagates out of the pipeline.** Since invariant CompilerErrors always re-throw through `tryRecord()`, they exit the pipeline as exceptions. The caller only sees the invariant error, not any errors previously recorded on `env`. This is a design limitation that could be addressed by aggregating env errors with caught exceptions in `tryCompileFunction()`.
+* **Dedicated fault tolerance test fixtures** were added in `__tests__/fixtures/compiler/fault-tolerance/`. Each fixture combines two or more errors from different passes to verify the compiler reports all of them rather than short-circuiting on the first. Coverage includes: `var`+props mutation (BuildHIR→InferMutationAliasingEffects), `var`+ref access (BuildHIR→ValidateNoRefAccessInRender), `try/finally`+props mutation (BuildHIR→InferMutationAliasingEffects), `try/finally`+ref access (BuildHIR→ValidateNoRefAccessInRender), and a 3-error test combining try/finally+ref access+props mutation.
