How does error handling work when generating invalid Mermaid code from AI? Describe the self-healing process.

Answer from AI

When generating Mermaid code, AI may create syntactically incorrect diagrams that fail to parse. The self-healing process involves the following steps:

  1. The generated code is first attempted to be rendered using Mermaid.
  2. If a parsing error occurs, the system analyzes the error message to understand the problem (e.g., a missing bracket, incorrect syntax).
  3. Based on the analysis, a request is made to the AI with a description of the error and the source code, asking it to fix the code.
  4. The AI generates a corrected version of the Mermaid code.
  5. The process repeats until the code becomes valid or a limit on attempts is reached.

Thus, self-healing is an iterative cycle of code generation and validation with feedback, allowing automatic correction of errors in Mermaid code, thereby improving the quality and reliability of visualization.
