Every failure carries error.code, error.number, error.message and error.docs, plus at most one of retry_with (the request change that would succeed), details (structured specifics) or issues (validation problems).

The transcript service could not be reached. Safe to retry.

• The transcript service behind the API was briefly unreachable.
• The idempotency store was unavailable, so a request with an Idempotency-Key was refused rather than risk double-billing (HTTP 503 in that case).

• Retry with exponential backoff; these are transient by nature.
• Check status at status.transcriptfetch.com if failures persist.
