Code Review

This pull request updates the exception handling in src/chonkie/types/base.py by replacing a bare except clause with except Exception. The reviewer suggests further refining this by catching specific exceptions to avoid suppressing unexpected internal errors, providing a more robust implementation in line with PEP 8 recommendations.

[gemini-code-assist]

While replacing a bare except: with except Exception: is an improvement as it avoids catching system-exiting exceptions (like KeyboardInterrupt), it is still considered a broad catch. For a more robust implementation, it is better to catch only the specific exceptions that are expected to occur during the formatting and indexing of the embedding, such as AttributeError, TypeError, ValueError, IndexError, and KeyError. This ensures that unexpected internal errors are not silently suppressed.

Suggested change

	except Exception:
	except (AttributeError, TypeError, ValueError, IndexError, KeyError):

Poem

🐰 A catch clause gets precise,
No more catching what shouldn't be nice—
Exception now guards the way,
System exits live to fight another day! ✨
