What changed
HttpTaggedErrorwhose tag, HTTP status, safe body, retry policy, and recovery action live in one definitionWhy
The previous stack had several overlapping error systems. Exact service errors were routinely collapsed and reconstructed, endpoint specs overdeclared status buckets, and clients had to infer behavior from HTTP status or fields inside a generic tag.
Now an expected failure keeps one identity from its source through the HTTP response and client. Endpoint contracts enumerate only the tags they can actually emit, while transport-only failures remain in the transport boundary.
Breaking changes
This intentionally breaks consumers of the old generic v2 and Alchemy client error classes. Consumers should branch on the exact semantic
_tag. The canonical response remains{ error: { _tag, type, code, title, message, retryable, recovery, ... } }.Validation
