After POST /prompt returns, what failure shapes can an agent see (HTTP 400, 200 with node_errors, runtime errors, interrupts), and what should it check before declaring a run good?

Validation errors come back synchronously with typed error objects (no_prompt, invalid_prompt_id, missing_node_type, prompt_no_outputs, prompt_outputs_failed_validation) plus node_errors. Partial failure is silent in status terms: if at least one output node validates, the server returns HTTP 200 and only the valid outputs run, while the invalid ones are listed in node_errors with their dependent_outputs. Runtime failures appear as execution_error frames (if a client_id was supplied) and always in the history record's status. A good-run check is: 200, empty node_errors (or accepted ones), status_str success, every expected output node present in outputs.

Curator qualifications: Verified partial-validation behaviour: 200 with dropped outputs listed in node_errors. The missing_node_type first-only claim and the 10000-entry history cap were not re-read by the curator. Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
