Unique exception id (ex_ followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. ex_8f5c0c8e0e0a4a3c9b3f4f2c4f6c8d2a). Quote this in support tickets so we can find the request in our logs.
Stable, machine-readable error code (RFC 7807-style URI fragment). Branch your error handling on this, not on title.

Human-readable summary of the error, in English.
Request correlation id (rq_ followed by 32 lowercase hex chars, no dashes — e.g. rq_01abf3...). Identical to the X-Correlation-Id response header. Pass an X-Correlation-Id request header to thread your trace through to ours.
Pointer to the specific failing resource (e.g. /items/12345). Path-only, no /v1 version prefix.
Sub-reason code surfaced from upstream BoxHero core (on core-mapped 4xx) or from the gateway itself (e.g. not-available-for-api-token on 403). Use this for fine-grained branching after dispatching on type.
Field-level error details. Present on /errors/invalid-request (400) responses. Each entry locates a single failure via JSONPath-like path segments and a human-readable message.
