Error unmarshalling request:

Error message

Error unmarshalling request: 

What it means

HTTP 500 error returned by CreateOrgHandler when json.Unmarshal fails to parse the request body into a shared.CreateOrgRequest. The body has already been read successfully, so this fires purely on malformed or structurally invalid JSON (wrong field types, truncated payload, or non-object input). Note the handler reports it as an internal error rather than a 400.

Solutions

1. Log/inspect the raw body to find the JSON defect
2. Ensure the client sends valid CreateOrgRequest JSON with correct types
3. Return 400 instead of 500 for malformed client input
