Description

Describe the bug

SCG drops grpc-status-details-bin for trailers-only (immediate error) responses.

In that case GRPCResponseHeadersFilter moves only grpc-status/grpc-message into the trailer. But grpc-status-details-bin is also Trailer metadata per the gRPC HTTP/2 protocol, so it's lost and the client gets an error with no details. (The deferred case is fine via trailer passthrough.)

Research direction

Start with GRPCResponseHeadersFilter and compare its trailers-only handling with the deferred trailer passthrough described in the issue. Use the gRPC HTTP/2 protocol reference to confirm the metadata behavior, then verify that a trailers-only immediate error preserves grpc-status-details-bin along with the other error metadata.
