Same here. Generally for any while loops I'd like to just have the try on the outside

Why? One pathfinder can fail while the others succeed?

If one path does something unrecoverable like indexes into a vector out of bounds, I think the right thing to do is stop and say "something is clearly wrong with your model".

Besides that, a primary motivation behind this PR is also to implement an exit() function into the language, which requires the ability to terminate the entire algorithm it is in. If one chain or one path calls exit, the entire thing still needs to halt.

Are only unrecoverable errors able to be thrown here? Like if the call to log_prob throws it could be from something recoverable like one of the ode solvers failing for a given set of parameters

pathfinder_impl catches std::domain_errors, which is what the ODE solvers throw (and is generally what the math library considers 'recoverable'), so the only exceptions which reach this will be unrecoverable ones from the model or issues in our algorithm
