/// Kind of execution error, divided into several distinct sub-groups.
///
/// Note that kind of error **does not** specify the source from which error originates.
/// This kind of information is available from [`ExecutionError`] via `runtime_id` and `call_site`
/// methods.
///
/// # Note to Runtime Developers
///
/// When should a runtime use different kinds of errors? Here's the guide.
///
/// ## `Service` errors
///
/// Use `Service` kind if the error has occurred in the service code and it makes sense to notify
/// users about the error cause and/or its precise kind. These errors are generally raised
/// if the input data (e.g., the transaction payload) violate certain invariants imposed by the service.
/// For example, a `Service` error can be raised if the sender of a transfer transaction
/// in the token service does not have sufficient amount of tokens.
///
/// ## `Unexpected` errors
///
/// Use `Unexpected` kind if the error has occurred in the service code, and at least one
/// of the following conditions holds:
///
/// - The error is caused by the environment (e.g., out-of-memory)
/// - The error should never occur during normal execution (e.g., out-of-bounds indexing, null pointer
///   dereference)
///
/// This kind of errors generally corresponds to panics in Rust and unchecked exceptions in Java.
/// `Unexpected` errors are assumed to be reasonably rare by the framework; e.g., they are logged
/// with a higher priority than other kinds.
///
/// Runtime environments can have mechanisms to convert `Unexpected` errors to `Service` ones
/// (e.g., by catching exceptions in Java or calling [`catch_unwind`] in Rust),
/// but whether it makes sense heavily depends on the use case.
///
/// ## `Core` errors
///
/// Use `Core` kind only if you should mimic a core behavior, e.g. when proxying
/// requests and the behavior should be the same as if the action was performed by
/// core. In most cases you **don't need** to use `Core` type of errors.
/// See [`CoreError`] for more details.
///
/// ## `Common` errors
///
/// `Common` errors set provides various error codes that can occur within `Runtime`
/// and `Service` lifecycle. They are intended to be reused in the service and runtime code instead
/// of defining new error codes with the same effect. See [`CommonError`] for more details.
///
/// ## `Runtime` errors
///
/// Use `Runtime` kind if a recoverable error has occurred in the runtime code and
/// it makes sense to report the error to the users. A primary example here is artifact deployment:
/// if the deployment has failed due to a reproducible condition (e.g., the artifact
/// cannot be compiled), a `Runtime` error can provide more details about the cause.
///
/// ## Policy on panics
///
/// Panic in the Rust wrapper of the runtime if a fundamental runtime invariant is broken and
/// continuing node operation is impossible. A panic will not be caught and will lead
/// to the node termination.
///
