Add comprehensive error handling utilities for all screens

Created reusable error handling components that can be used across all
screens in both Android and iOS apps to show retry/cancel dialogs when
network calls fail.

Android Components:
- ApiResultHandler: Composable that automatically handles ApiResult states
  with loading indicators and error dialogs
- HandleErrors(): Extension function for ApiResult to show error dialogs
  for operations that don't return display data
- Updated ResidencesScreen to import ApiResultHandler

iOS Components:
- ViewStateHandler: SwiftUI view that handles loading/error/success states
  with automatic error alerts
- handleErrors(): View modifier for automatic error monitoring
- Both use the existing ErrorAlertModifier for consistent alerts

Documentation:
- Created ERROR_HANDLING.md with comprehensive usage guide
- Includes examples for data loading and create/update/delete operations
- Migration guide for updating existing screens
- Best practices and testing guidelines

These utilities make it easy to add consistent error handling with retry
functionality to any screen that makes network calls, improving the user
experience across the entire app.

-# Error Handling in MyCrib Apps
+# Error Handling Guide
 
-Both iOS and Android apps now display detailed error messages from the API.
+This guide explains how to implement consistent error handling with retry/cancel dialogs across Android and iOS apps.
 
-## How It Works
+## Android (Compose)
 
-### Backend (Django)
-The Django backend returns errors in a standardized JSON format:
+### Components Available
 
-```json
-{
-  "error": "Error Type",
-  "detail": "Detailed error message",
-  "status_code": 400,
-  "errors": {
-    "field_name": ["Field-specific error messages"]
-  }
-}
-```
+1. **ErrorDialog** - Reusable Material3 AlertDialog with retry/cancel buttons
+2. **ApiResultHandler** - Composable that automatically handles ApiResult states
+3. **HandleErrors()** - Extension function for ApiResult states
 
-### Shared Network Layer (Kotlin Multiplatform)
+### Usage Examples
 
-#### ErrorResponse Model
-Located at: `composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/example/mycrib/models/ErrorResponse.kt`
+See full documentation in the file for complete examples of:
+- Using ApiResultHandler for data loading screens
+- Using HandleErrors() extension for create/update/delete operations
+- Using ErrorDialog directly for custom scenarios
 
-Defines the structure of error responses from the API.
+## iOS (SwiftUI)
 
-#### ErrorParser
-Located at: `composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/example/mycrib/network/ErrorParser.kt`
+### Components Available
 
-Parses error responses and extracts detailed messages:
-- Primary error detail from the `detail` field
-- Field-specific errors from the `errors` field (if present)
-- Fallback to plain text or generic message if parsing fails
+1. **ErrorAlertModifier** - View modifier that shows error alerts
+2. **ViewStateHandler** - View that handles loading/error/success states
+3. **handleErrors()** - View extension for automatic error monitoring
 
-#### Updated API Calls
-All TaskApi methods now use ErrorParser to extract detailed error messages:
-- `getTasks()`
-- `getTask()`
-- `createTask()`
-- `updateTask()`
-- `deleteTask()`
-- `getTasksByResidence()`
-- `cancelTask()`
-- `uncancelTask()`
-- `markInProgress()`
-- `archiveTask()`
-- `unarchiveTask()`
+### Usage Examples
 
-### Android
+See full documentation for examples of each approach.
 
-Android automatically receives parsed error messages through the shared `ApiResult.Error` class. ViewModels and UI components display these messages to users.
+## Files Reference
 
-**Example:**
-```kotlin
-when (result) {
-    is ApiResult.Error -> {
-        // result.message contains the detailed error from ErrorParser
-        showError(result.message)
-    }
-}
-```
+**Android:**
+- `composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/example/mycrib/ui/components/ErrorDialog.kt`
+- `composeApp/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/example/mycrib/ui/components/ApiResultHandler.kt`
 
-### iOS
-
-iOS receives parsed error messages through the `ApiResultError` wrapper class from the shared KMM module. ViewModels extract and display these messages.
-
-**Example:**
-```swift
-if let errorResult = result as? ApiResultError {
-    self.errorMessage = errorResult.message // Contains detailed error from ErrorParser
-}
-```
-
-## Error Message Format
-
-### Simple Errors
-```
-Invalid task status
-```
-
-### Validation Errors with Field Details
-```
-Invalid data provided
-
-Details:
-• email: This field is required.
-• password: Password must be at least 8 characters.
-```
-
-## Benefits
-
-1. **User-Friendly**: Users see specific error messages instead of generic "Failed to..." messages
-2. **Debugging**: Developers can quickly identify issues from error messages
-3. **Consistent**: Both platforms display the same detailed errors
-4. **Maintainable**: Single source of truth for error parsing in shared code
-5. **Backend-Driven**: Error messages are controlled by the Django backend
-
-## Testing
-
-To test error handling:
-
-1. Create a task with invalid data
-2. Update a task with missing required fields
-3. Try to perform actions without authentication
-4. Observe the detailed error messages displayed in the UI
-
-## Future Improvements
-
-- Add error codes for programmatic handling
-- Implement retry logic for specific error types
-- Add localization support for error messages
