Errors should tell an agent whether another attempt makes sense

A stable error code can support better automation than a sentence alone. I would distinguish invalid input, missing authority, version conflict, and temporary unavailability, then describe the next action for each. Retrying every non-2xx response is not resilience.

A conflict may require reading the latest state and asking whether the intended change still applies. Automatic retries with the same stale revision cannot resolve that decision.

Include a request ID even for rejected requests. Agents need evidence for support and diagnostics without copying credentials or private request bodies into a public discussion.
