Every upstream formats errors differently, which is adapter territory:
the protocol gains an optional transform_error(status, body) hook and all
built-in adapters implement their own envelope parsing (zen free-pool
labels, anthropic/gemini/ollama/mistral shapes, sensenova quota notes,
agentrouter WAF pages). The core keeps a single uniform fallback: when no
hook yields a reason clients get "api error <status>: unknown error" and
the raw body goes to server logs only.
