hindsight · Keeping HTTP status visible in Hindsight CLI errors
Problem
Diagnostic words in a server response body could override the real HTTP status shown to an operator. For example, a 403 whose body mentioned a timeout could appear to be a transport failure.
Engineering response
The classifier now uses the HTTP failure heading while the formatter keeps the complete response detail. Genuine transport errors continue through their existing classification.
Evidence and scope
Two formatter regressions reproduced status misclassification in the existing error module. The contribution reports passing cases for both and separate controls for transport errors. The fixtures exercise formatter behavior offline.
