Overview
This issue tracks the addition of try-catch blocks in src/social-share-button.js to improve error handling and resilience. Adding defensive error handling in key methods ensures that unexpected failures are caught and surfaced appropriately, rather than silently failing or causing unhandled exceptions.
Try-catch blocks to add
1. createButton() → document.querySelector()
querySelector() throws a SyntaxError when passed an invalid CSS selector string. Since the selector is user-supplied via options.container, a try-catch here is appropriate defensive programming.
2. fallbackCopy() → rename _err → error and add logging
The existing catch block silently swallows errors. Binding the error variable and logging it through the debug-gated _debugWarn() helper is a valid improvement.
Acceptance Criteria
