1//! Error types for kopia subprocess invocation and JSON parsing.
2//!
3//! A terminal [`KopiaError`] must carry enough structured detail for the mover
4//! to build a `status.failure` block (ADR §4.10): exit code, the last lines of
5//! stderr, and a best-effort *error class* derived from kopia's stderr so the
6//! controller can decide whether a retry is worthwhile.

10/// How many trailing lines of stderr we retain on a failed invocation. Kopia
11/// can print a lot of progress to stderr; the tail is where the actual error
12/// message lands.

15/// A best-effort classification of a kopia failure, derived by inspecting the

17/// "should we retry?" decision in the mover, not to be exhaustive. Unknown
18/// failures map to [`KopiaErrorClass::Unknown`] and are treated as
19/// non-retryable by default.
20///
