Require permissions-debug for /-/threads
/-/threads exposes runtime internals - thread idents and asyncio task
reprs including file paths - but only required view-instance. It now
requires permissions-debug, like /-/actions.

Include next_url in default table JSON keys
Table JSON responses previously only included the next pagination token
by default - the ready-to-follow next_url required ?_extra=next_url.
Both keys are now always present (null on the final page), which the
pagination documentation already claimed. The next_url extra remains
valid for backwards compatibility.

Return 400 for unknown _extra names on data formats
Unknown ?_extra= names (including internal HTML-only extras such as
display_rows) were silently ignored, so a typo returned the default
payload with no signal. Table, row and query data formats now return
400 "Unknown _extra: <names>". HTML pages continue to ignore unknown
names.

Expose count truncation in table JSON via count_truncated extra
The count extra is computed with a limit subquery, so a count equal to
count_limit + 1 (default 10001) actually means "at least this many" -
but only the HTML view knew that. A public count_truncated extra now
reports the flag and is implicitly included whenever count is
requested, using the same logic the HTML view already used.

Row update return:true responds with rows list, matching insert/upsert
Row update previously returned a singular "row" object where insert and
upsert return a "rows" list. All write endpoints now use "rows".

Remove duplicate params key from stored query JSON objects
Every stored-query object carried the same list of parameter names
twice, as both "params" and "parameters". Output objects now carry only
"parameters", consistent with /-/query/parameters and the two analyze
endpoints (and distinct from the "params" bound-values dictionary used
by the query extra and /-/execute-write). "params" remains an accepted
input alias for query creation, update and datasette.yaml config.

Return 401 for invalid or expired bearer tokens
Invalid dstok_ tokens - bad signature, malformed payload, expired, or
presented while allow_signed_tokens is off - previously degraded the
request to anonymous, so clients saw a 403 permission error or worse,
a 200 with anonymous-visible data. Token handlers can now raise
TokenInvalid for tokens they recognize but reject; Datasette responds
with 401, the canonical JSON error body and a WWW-Authenticate: Bearer
error="invalid_token" header, even when a valid cookie is also present.

Bearer tokens no registered handler recognizes are still ignored, so
authentication plugins with their own token formats keep working.
TokenInvalid is exported from the datasette package for use by plugin
token handlers.

Return 400 for write canned-query SQL failures
POST to a write canned query previously returned HTTP 200 with
{"ok": false, "message": ...} when the SQL failed to execute, so JSON
clients (and anything that trusts HTTP status) recorded success for
failed writes. SQL failures now return 400 with the canonical error
shape plus the "redirect" context key from on_error_redirect; the
QueryWriteRejected 403 branch uses the canonical shape too. Successful
executions and the HTML flash-message flow are unchanged.

Return canonical JSON error for Forbidden on JSON requests
The default forbidden() hook previously rendered an HTML error page even
for .json requests. It now returns the canonical JSON error shape with
status 403 when the request path ends in .json or the request sends an
Accept: application/json or Content-Type: application/json header. HTML
requests still get the error page.

Filter /-/databases by view-database permission
/-/databases previously listed every attached database (including
filesystem paths and sizes) to any actor with view-instance, while the
homepage and every other endpoint filtered by view-database. The
endpoint now only lists databases the current actor is allowed to view.

JsonDataView data callbacks may now be async.

Convert /-/actions.json from top-level array to object
/-/actions.json now returns {"ok": true, "actions": [...]} instead of a
bare JSON array, so the response can grow additional keys without a
breaking change. The debug_actions.html template reads data.actions,
and the endpoint is now documented in docs/introspection.rst.

Convert /-/plugins.json from top-level array to object
/-/plugins.json now returns {"ok": true, "plugins": [...]} instead of a
bare JSON array, so the response can grow additional keys without a
breaking change. The `datasette plugins` CLI command still outputs a
plain array.

Add "ok": true to every JSON object success response
JsonDataView now injects "ok": true into dict responses, covering
/-/versions, /-/settings, /-/config, /-/threads and /-/actor. The
homepage JSON, /-/jump, the three /-/schema endpoints, /-/allowed,
/-/rules, /-/check, POST /-/permissions and the table /-/autocomplete
endpoint set it explicitly.

The remaining top-level array endpoints (/-/plugins, /-/databases,
/-/actions) will be converted to objects in separate commits.

Unify JSON error responses into one canonical shape
All JSON error responses now use a single format built by the new
datasette.utils.error_body() helper:

    {"ok": false, "error": "...", "errors": ["..."], "status": 400}

- error is all messages joined with '; ', errors is the full list,
  status always matches the HTTP status code
- The exception handler no longer emits the legacy title key in JSON
  (it is still available to the HTML error template)
- The permission debug endpoints (/-/allowed, /-/rules, /-/check,
  POST /-/permissions) no longer return bare {"error": ...} objects
- JSON renderer SQL errors keep their rows/truncated context keys but
  now include the canonical keys as well
- _shape=object misuse (queries or tables without primary keys) now
  returns HTTP 400 instead of 200 with an error body
- Method-not-allowed 405 responses use the canonical shape

Adds tests/test_error_shape.py covering all four previous shape
producers, updates affected tests, and documents the format in a new
'Error responses' section of docs/json_api.rst.

Implements section 1 of stable-api-recommendations.md.
