// clients see 404/409/403/422 instead of an opaque 500. Every branch rebuilds
// the error: a backing error passed through verbatim would leak the backing
// resource's identity in its details and message. Unexpected errors are logged
// at Error level; client-side errors (Invalid, BadRequest) at Warn level.
