tryRecover

Transforms a Failure into a Success, wrapping the result with outcome error-catching semantics.

• Success — returned unchanged.

• Failure — applies failure and re-wraps the result.

• If failure throws, the exception is re-encapsulated or re-thrown via catch.

This is the outcome (non-suspend) alternative to recover — it catches exceptions rather than letting them propagate.

outcome { 4 }                              // Success(4)
  .tryRecover { Unit }                     // No change — Success(4)
  .andThen { throw FileNotFoundException("test") } // Failure(FileNotFoundException("test"))
  .tryRecover { 7 }                        // Success(7)
