InvalidPathException

Exception thrown when a BIP-32 derivation path is invalid.

SEP-5 uses BIP-32 hierarchical deterministic key derivation with SLIP-10. The standard Stellar path is "m/44'/148'/0'" where:

• m: master node

• 44': BIP-44 purpose (hardened)

• 148': Stellar coin type (hardened)

• 0': account index (hardened)

Valid path format:

• Must start with "m/"

• Path components separated by "/"

• Each component is a 31-bit unsigned integer (0 to 2147483647)

• Hardened derivation indicated by "'" or "h" suffix

• For Stellar, all derivation should be hardened

Common causes:

• Missing "m/" prefix

• Invalid characters in path

• Index out of valid range

• Empty path components

Example:

try {
    val keypair = wallet.deriveKeyPair("invalid/path")
} catch (e: InvalidPathException) {
    println("Invalid path: ${e.path}")
    println("Error: ${e.message}")
    println("Use format: m/44'/148'/0'")
}
