The provider codes the chat surface documents (`credit_exhausted`, `auth_error`, `rate_limited`, `provider_unreachable`, `provider_error`, `model_not_found`, …) — an `llm` node’s provider: the account or the provider, not the request. The agent codes (`harness_error`, `turn_crashed`, `session_gone`, `deadline`, `ask_expired`, `budget_exceeded`, …) — an `agent` node’s turn, after its in-node retries. `budget_exceeded` — a budget limit refused an `agent` node’s turn or an `llm` node’s call, or the turn used up its allowance. Retry on `provider_error`, `provider_unreachable`, `rate_limited`, `turn_crashed`, `session_gone`, `harvest_failed`; alert a person on the rest."
