Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue at https://dev.bcregistry.gov.bc.ca/en-CA/ with entity BC0888283, then follow the filing correction flow through “File and Pay” until the API returns 400. Trace the handling of the “Unable to Save Filing” and “Unable to Retrieve Filing” messages; done means one consolidated error dialog is shown instead of two.
