Variants

Config(String)

Io(Error)

Store(Error)

Serialization(Error)

Internal(String)

SecretStore(String)

NotFound(String)

Conflict(String)

Secrets(SecretsResolverError)

Authentication(String)

Unauthorized(String)

Forbidden(String)

StepUpRequired(String)

Operation requires a stepped-up (acr=aal2) session, but the caller’s JWT carries a lower acr (typically aal1). Distinct from Self::Forbidden so wallets can react — step_up_required is the operator-friendly signal to trigger a passkey-login or VTA-approval ceremony, not a hard rejection.

Rendered as 403 Forbidden with body { "error": "step_up_required", "message": "...", "requiredAcr": "aal2" } so clients can distinguish it from a role-based rejection without parsing English.

Validation(String)

TrustTaskMissing

The request did not carry a required Trust-Task header. Routes registered via crate::trust_task::TrustTaskRouter::route_with_task reject missing headers with this variant (400). Only /health is allowed to omit it.

TrustTaskMismatch

The request’s Trust-Task header did not match the handler’s registered task. Returned as 415 per spec §16.2; the response body carries the expected + received task URLs so clients can diagnose without re-reading the route table.

Fields

expected: String

received: Option<String>

TrustTaskMalformed(String)

The supplied Trust-Task value was not a well-formed identifier (empty, non-https://, or contained header-injection control characters). Returned as 400.

IdempotencyKeyConflict

A request reused an Idempotency-Key it had previously sent with a different body hash. The cached response is preserved for the original requester; the conflicting retry is rejected with 422 so clients don’t silently get a stale response from a drifting payload.

InvalidCursor

A pagination cursor failed integrity verification — either the HMAC tag didn’t validate (tampered, forged, or signed under a different community’s audit_key) or the encoded form was malformed. Returned as 400 with no extra detail so an attacker can’t learn whether their guessed cursor was structurally close to a valid one.

ResourceExhausted(String)

A bounded computation aborted because it hit a resource ceiling (time/instruction budget or an input-size cap) before completing. Used by the Rego policy evaluator to refuse pathological policies or adversarial inputs on the unauthenticated join path rather than burning CPU unbounded. Rendered as 503 Service Unavailable — the evaluation did not complete, and the message is generic so an attacker can’t probe the exact limits.

ServiceError

Catch-all for service-specific errors (e.g., KeyDerivation, BadGateway, TeeAttestation). Services create helper functions to construct these with appropriate status codes.

Fields

status: StatusCode

message: String

Vsock

An I/O failure in a vsock operation. Preserves the underlying std::io::Error via #[source] while adding a human-readable label of which operation failed (connect / read / write / flush).

Construct via AppError::vsock for ergonomic .map_err(...).

Fields

operation: &'static str

source: Error

Implementations

impl AppError

pub fn vsock(operation: &'static str) -> impl FnOnce(Error) -> AppError

Build a closure suitable for .map_err(...) that wraps an std::io::Error into AppError::Vsock with the given operation label. Keeps the source chain intact for downstream error walkers while giving log readers the operation name.

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for AppError

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Display for AppError

fn fmt(&self, __formatter: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Error for AppError

fn source(&self) -> Option<&(dyn Error + 'static)>

Returns the lower-level source of this error, if any.

fn description(&self) -> &str

👎Deprecated since 1.42.0:

use the Display impl or to_string()

fn cause(&self) -> Option<&dyn Error>

👎Deprecated since 1.33.0:

replaced by Error::source, which can support downcasting

fn provide<'a>(&'a self, request: &mut Request<'a>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (error_generic_member_access)

Provides type-based access to context intended for error reports.

impl From<AuthError> for AppError

Convert the canonical auth-flow errors into AppError so the route layer’s existing IntoResponse plumbing renders them without backend-specific glue. Each variant lands on the HTTP status reflected in the crate::auth::AuthError doc-comments:

• Forbidden, DidMethodRejected → 403
• PendingChallengeLimitReached → 429 via the Validation arm (route layer can return a typed 429 if needed; the canonical variant carries the rate-limit signal in the message).
• SessionNotFound, SessionStateMismatch, ChallengeMismatch, ChallengeExpired, SignerMismatch, StaleMessage, RefreshTokenInvalid, RefreshTokenExpired → 401
• AttestationFailed → 503 via Internal (TEE outages are not the caller’s fault).
• Internal → 500.
