feat: name the HTTP status when the error body is not JSON - #76
Merged
Conversation
An unparseable error body produced the message "failed to parse error response", which hid the HTTP status. The message now appends the status to that text, so prefix matching and substring matching both keep working. The status code, the raw response body and the parse cause do not change.

Summary
When an error body is not JSON, the SDK reported only the parse failure and hid the HTTP status. A customer saw
failed to parse error responsefor a 503 that the edge proxy returned as plain text, plus a JSON parse stack trace, and could not tell which status they got.ApiError#messagenow appends the status:failed to parse error response: unexpected server response code 503.status_code,raw_response_bodyand the cause do not change.The old text is still the prefix of the new message, so prefix matching and substring matching on it both keep working.
