| ### Error Handling | ||
|
|
||
| When you call `get-state`, you may receive an error indicating a problem loading the user's progress. When this occurs, you have two options: | ||
| 1. **Preferred** Read the error message and the contents of `qdk-learning.json`. Together, they should indicate what's wrong. Explain to the user what's wrong and offer to fix the problem. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Telling it to read the file was the secret sauce. Before that, it would give up on interpreting the error and immediately try to delete the file.

From #3242
When qdk-learning.json is invalid, we need to do something about it before the user can actually use the katas. Enrich the error messages and give the agent instructions for how to handle errors. It now does a pretty good job of making simple repairs to the file.
