Description

This Pull Request addresses a stability issue in the Rust-based parser where the application would panic and terminate if it encountered a reading error in an external word file (such as a capitalization or profanity list).

Changes:

Modified process_word_file in src/rust/src/parser.rs: Replaced the .unwrap() call on reader.lines() with an explicit match statement.
Error Recovery: Instead of crashing, the program now catches the Err, prints a descriptive message to stderr including the line number and filename, and uses continue to proceed with the rest of the file.

This ensures that a single corrupted line or an I/O hiccup does not interrupt the entire extraction process, making the tool significantly more robust for automated workflows.

Fixes #1990
