- `401`: Unauthorized — the API key is missing, malformed, or revoked (`SY90005`).
- `403`: Forbidden — the key is valid but not permitted for this resource or operation (`SY90003`).
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded. Wait `retry_after_seconds` (or the `Retry-After` header) and retry with backoff.
- `500`: Server error. The body carries a single `error` object with code `INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR`.
