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.

/db/-/schema previously returned 404 for missing databases before
checking view-database, letting unauthorized actors probe for database
existence. The permission check now runs first, so actors without
view-database get a uniform 403. The table schema endpoint also now
returns 404 for an unknown database instead of an unhandled KeyError.

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 previously returned a singular "row" object where insert and
upsert return a "rows" list. All write endpoints now use "rows".

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.

QueryUpdateView already rejected is_trusted queries but QueryDeleteView
did not, so an actor with delete-query could delete a config-defined
trusted query - which would then silently reappear on restart when the
config re-syncs. Both the POST endpoint and the HTML confirmation page
now return 403, matching update. datasette.remove_query() is unchanged
for internal use.
The docs already claimed this behavior ("Trusted stored queries cannot
be edited or deleted through the web interface or the JSON API") - the
code now matches them.

GET /db/-/query.json with no (or blank) ?sql= previously returned 200
with empty rows, masking caller bugs, while the .csv format returned
400 "?sql= is required" for the same request. All data formats now
return the 400; the HTML SQL editor page is unchanged.

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.

Row delete previously returned 500 when the write failed (for example
a constraint violation raised by a trigger or foreign key), while row
update and every other write endpoint report the same failure class as
400. Delete now matches.

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.

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.

/-/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.

/-/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.

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.

The homepage routes now only accept .json, and the row view no longer
redirects .jsono to .json?_shape=objects. The .jsono extension was
superseded by ?_shape= and returned output identical to .json.

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.
