                      Some errors include an error code that can be used to
                      identify their cause. See the [Error Handling
                      Docs](https://docs.kombo.dev/guides/errors) for more
                      information. For your error handling logic please use the
                      error `code` instead of other properties (e.g. message,
                      http status code, ...).
