+All non-2xx responses share the same `OilPriceAPIError` attributes, including
+`status_code`, `code`, `request_id`, plan/feature recovery fields, retry
+metadata, sanitized response `headers`, `raw_body`, and `raw_text`. Canonical
+nested and legacy flat API error envelopes are normalized into that contract.
+Transport failures use `NetworkError`; timeouts remain the more specific
+`TimeoutError`.
+
 Executable recovery examples cover 401, 403, 429, and timeout responses under
 [`examples/snippets/`](examples/snippets/). Empty or malformed successful
 responses should stop analysis rather than inventing a price, unit, currency,

+Every non-2xx response uses this shared typed contract. `status_code`, `code`,
+plan or feature requirements, retry metadata, sanitized response headers, and
+raw diagnostics remain available without exposing the configured API key.
