/**
 * An exception indication that the execution of an action has failed OR could not be attempted OR
 * could not be finished OR had something else wrong.
 *
 * <p>The six main kinds of failure are broadly defined as follows:
 *
 * <p>USER_INPUT which means it had something to do with what the user told us to do. This failure
 * should satisfy the invariant that it would happen identically again if all other things are
 * equal.
 *
 * <p>ENVIRONMENT which is loosely defined as anything which is generally out of scope for a blaze
 * evaluation. As a rule of thumb, these are any errors would not necessarily happen again given
 * constant input.
 *
 * <p>INTERRUPTION conditions arise from being unable to complete an evaluation for whatever reason.
 *
 * <p>INTERNAL_ERROR would happen because of anything which arises from within blaze itself but is
 * generally unexpected to ever occur for any user input.
 *
 * <p>LOST_INPUT which means the failure occurred because the action expected to consume some input
 * that went missing. Although this seems similar to ENVIRONMENT, Blaze may know how to fix this
 * problem.
 *
 * <p>MISSING_DEP which means that a skyframe restart is necessary because a dependency was missing.
 *
 * <p>The class is a catch-all for both failures of actions and failures to evaluate actions
 * properly.
 *
 * <p>Invariably, all low level ExecExceptions are caught by various specific ConfigurationAction
 * classes and re-raised as ActionExecutionExceptions.
