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.
