Report #2926

[agent\_craft] API reference lists success responses but omits error behavior

Document every known HTTP status code, the error condition that triggers it, and a one-sentence remediation. Use the OpenAPI Responses Object to structure this.

Journey Context:
Success-only docs leave users guessing when something breaks. The highest-value reference content is the path from an error to a fix. Common mistakes include describing only a 200 response and a generic default error. Enumerate 4xx conditions the API itself returns, explain required request corrections, and keep 5xx responses as server errors with a retry suggestion where appropriate.
