//! Dynamo Error System
//!
//! This module provides a standardized error type for Dynamo with support for:
//! - Categorized error types via [`ErrorType`] enum
//! - Error chaining via the standard [`std::error::Error::source()`] method
//! - Serialization for network transmission via serde
//!
//! # DynamoError
//!
//! [`DynamoError`] is the standardized error type for Dynamo. It can be created
//! directly or converted from any [`std::error::Error`]:
//!
//! ```rust,ignore
//! use dynamo_runtime::error::{DynamoError, ErrorType};
//!
//! // Simple error
//! let err = DynamoError::msg("something failed");
//!
//! // Typed error with cause
//! let cause = std::io::Error::other("io error");
//! let err = DynamoError::builder()
//!     .error_type(ErrorType::Unknown)
//!     .message("operation failed")
//!     .cause(cause)
//!     .build();
//!
//! // Convert from any std::error::Error
//! let std_err = std::io::Error::other("io error");
//! let dynamo_err = DynamoError::from(Box::new(std_err) as Box<dyn std::error::Error>);
