Description

Example error:

Input tables to a group_by must be aligned

It would be confusing as hell but it would at least give the user something concrete to report. "Something went wrong" with no info is very frustrating.

Research direction

Start at the OxQL metrics chart error handling and reproduce the example group_by failure. Trace where the API error becomes the current generic message; done means the chart shows useful API error details, such as the concrete alignment message, instead of only “Something went wrong.”
