Description
Should be able to just pass an Error object and automatically fetch the error message from the Error object.
For example:
return next(new errors.BadRequestError(error));
Instead of (currently):
return next(new errors.BadRequestError(error.message));

Research direction
Start at the BadRequestError constructor and inspect how its argument is converted into an error message. Trace the other HTTP error constructors for consistent behavior, then add coverage showing that passing an Error uses its message while existing string handling still works.
