Minecraft world has no endportal
I am playing Minecraft: Console Edition on the Xbox, version 1.8.8 in Survival. The seed for my world is 6881183219423020393.
I got some Eyes of Ender and found where to dig. I dug a 10 by 30 block rectangle down into the ground, then found a structure which I thought was the stronghold. I entered the stronghold and explored it, but there were only five rooms or so. Most importantly, the End Portal was missing.
So then I dug beyond the ends of the rooms, and any place that looked like it was an unfinished dead end, or some resources in the walls. Nothing.
I dug a 20x40 rectangle down into bedrock. Still nothing.
I went back up, and dug around in the areas above the place where the stronghold is. Nothing.
I dug out the entire strong hold. Nothing.
Then I went to creative mode, and blew up layers in all directions. Still nothing. I went to some other corners of the world, and searched for the stronghold again, but I was led back to the same place. I found a crevice at the end of one room. I explored that completely, and found no more strongholds.
Then I went to the MineAtlas site to see if there was information there, but the map they have for my seed doesn't match my map.
I consulted the wiki, and it said that there is only one stronghold per world on the Console Edition.
So... what should I do? I'm not too keen on starting over, or having this ever happen again.
Addendum: I'm reading that it's a world generator error. Okay, how can I tell if I am in a world that has an error?

It's not an error. It's bad luck. Ravines can generate anywhere, including right through your portal, and since you mentioned one connected to your stronghold... Here's the wiki that states Portal rooms can be overwritten by things, like ravines, caves, mineshafts, etc.

Why does my Minecraft world not have an end portal?
While it is rare, it's possible in any version of Minecraft that the portal room got overwritten by a cave, a ravine or a mineshaft (even in Java Editions, where strongholds initially always generate with an end portal), in which case you have no other option but to find a different stronghold.Is it possible for no end portal to spawn?
It is impossible for End portals to spawn in the Nether, and a player cannot build them without using cheats or debug mode.Do all Minecraft worlds have end portals?
On the Java and Bedrock editions, each world contains 128 strongholds, so a total of 1,536 end portal blocks are generated. In the Legacy Console Edition, there is only one portal per world, so 12 end portal blocks are generated.Can’t find the End Portal In Your Stronghold? Do This! - Minecraft Bedrock 1.18 Survival Ep.19
