      description: >-
        Generic error envelope used by most controllers. Most error responses
        pair a human-readable `message` with `status: error`. Some endpoints
        additionally include `errors` (validator errors), `error` (legacy
        single-error string), `code`, or domain-specific context fields.
      required:
        - message
      properties:
        message:
          description: Human-readable error message.
          type: string

        status:
          description: >-
            Always the literal string `error` for failures. Some endpoints omit
            this field.

      description: >-
        Returned with HTTP 404 when a resource lookup misses (typically because
        the id doesn't exist OR is scoped to a different `client_id`). Note:
        many endpoints intentionally collapse 'not found' and 'forbidden' into a
        single 404 to avoid leaking which records exist in another tenant.
      required:
        - message
      properties:
        message:
          description: >-
            Human-readable message. Often a more specific string like `Donor not
            found` or `Trip not found`.

        legacy/provider failures may use error and error_code. The operation
        description identifies the rejected condition. Domain responses may add
        current revision, limits or other conflict context.

      description: >-
        Returned with HTTP 422 when `Validator::make($data, $rules)` fails. The
        `errors` map is keyed by the failing field name; each value is an array
        of human-readable error messages for that field. Most controllers also
        include a top-level `status: error`.
