1//! `LlmError` marker trait and reference [`DummyError`] implementation.
2//!
3//! Every `LlmProvider::Error` associated type must satisfy the [`LlmError`]
4//! bound, which is equivalent to
5//! `std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static` but named so it is
6//! grep-able and can grow cross-provider extension methods without
7//! breaking changes.

9/// Marker trait that every `LlmProvider::Error` must satisfy.

11/// Equivalent to `std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static`, written as
12/// its own trait so it is:
13/// 1. searchable in the codebase (grep for `LlmError`),
14/// 2. one place to add cross-provider extension methods later, and
15/// 3. a sticky name in error messages (clippy / rustdoc).

19 /// timeout / unavailable) apart from terminal (auth / bad-request) failures
20 /// instead of collapsing everything to a catch-all.
