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.
