Description

400 errors often mask issues with geodiff. Mergin returns an error message along with a 400 error. I suggest that we always allow the user (even if needing to click on a *more details* button) to see the detail of this error to aid in our debugging.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how the mobile app handles HTTP 400 responses from Mergin and geodiff, then inspect the existing error-display flow. Done means the returned error detail is available to users, including through a more-details interaction if needed.
