3/// Error taxonomy returned by the Rust SDK API surface.
4///
5/// The SDK keeps application code independent from transport, protocol framing,
6/// and core implementation error types. Concrete embedded and remote adapters
7/// map their internal failures into these variants.
8///
9/// `Clone` is derived so a failure can be both RETAINED and RETURNED at the same
10/// seam. A store failure that bricks a participant handle is exactly that shape:
11/// the error travels to the caller of the failing operation, while a copy stays
12/// behind as the reason every later call reports
13/// `RemoteParticipantError::StateUnavailable`. Without it the cause is
14/// observable exactly once and only by whoever happened to make the failing
15/// call.
