+/**
+ * Was this failure OUR OWN web service? — the other half of `internal-db-class.ts`.
+ *
+ * fleet #1089 pulled failures from our own Postgres out of `upstream_down` by
+ * keying on the SQLSTATE inside PostgREST's four-key error envelope. That
+ * covered the majority and structurally could not cover the rest: the rest
+ * never reach Postgres, so they carry no SQLSTATE. What was left, measured over
+ * the 24h to 2026-09-02T15:00Z (fleet #1096):
+ *
+ *     5  pipeworx-catalog  get_pack_tools     Pipeworx catalog error: 522 — error code: 522
+ *     3  fleet             fleet_list_open …  upstream_down: Fleet task queue did not respond within 25s
+ *
+ * 521/522/523/526 are Cloudflare saying its edge could not reach an ORIGIN, and
+ * in both of those rows the origin is ours — `gateway.pipeworx.io` for the
+ * catalog pack (it self-fetches when the gateway hasn't injected a manifest),
+ * our own Supabase for fleet. There is no third party anywhere in either call.
+ * Same defect as #1089: our own outage filed under `upstream_down`, the one
+ * class that means "the source is unreachable and there is nothing for us to
+ * fix", which is why the problem-tools triage skips it.
+ *
+ * WHY NOT A WORDING RULE. The obvious fix is to match `fleet db error:` and
+ * `Pipeworx catalog error:` in classifyToolError. Each is emitted from exactly
+ * one site today, so it would work today. It would also rot the first time
+ * somebody rewords a label — silently, and in the direction of hiding our own
+ * outage, which is worse than the bug being fixed. Every prose rule in
+ * error-class.ts has needed widening as packs invented new wording (#409/#450/
+ * #584); that history is most of that file's comment budget.
+ *
+ * WHAT THIS KEYS ON INSTEAD: **the host the call actually reached.** A URL's
+ * hostname is a fact about the call, not a guess about its prose. Two
+ * consequences that a pack-level flag could not give us, and the reason the
+ * flag was rejected:
+ *
+ *   - It describes the CALL, not the pack. `govcon-intel` fans out to our own
+ *     Supabase AND to genuine third parties; `court-listener` holds our cache
+ *     in Supabase and fetches courtlistener.com. An `internallyHosted: true` on
+ *     either pack would relabel a real third-party outage as ours — inventing
+ *     work, which is the same class of error in the opposite direction.
+ *   - It covers every future internal pack for free, instead of one declared
+ *     slug at a time.
+ *
+ * WHY IT SURVIVES A REWORD. The marker below is not matched as a literal by two
+ * separate files. `markInternalOrigin()` writes it and `internalHostMetricsClass()`
+ * reads it, both from the single exported `INTERNAL_ORIGIN_MARKER` constant in
+ * this module — so changing the wording changes both sides in the same edit and
+ * cannot desynchronise them. The pack's own label (`fleet db error:`,
+ * `Pipeworx catalog error:`) is not read at all: reword it freely, the class is
+ * unaffected. That is the property `stripClassPrefix` lacked when it drifted
+ * from its own classifier three times and needed a CI gate to hold them
+ * together.
+ *
+ * WHERE THE 5xx TEST LIVES. `markInternalOrigin` is called from the places that
+ * hold the real `Response` — `httpError`/`httpErrorMessage` and the timeout
+ * branch of `fetchWithTimeout` in `shared/src/http.ts` — so "is this an
+ * availability failure" is decided from the actual status code, never re-derived
+ * by scraping a number out of a sentence. A 404 from our own registry for a slug
+ * that does not exist is a caller's bad argument and is deliberately NOT marked.
+ */

+/**
+ * OUR OWN web service was unreachable — not an upstream, and never `upstream_down`.

+ * and different fixes. Here there is only one story to tell — an origin we run
+ * did not answer the edge — and one owner. A bucket with no distinct owner per
+ * value is decoration; #724 is what happens when a class holds several
+ * situations, and inventing sub-values ahead of a reason to act on them
+ * differently is the same mistake with the sign flipped.
+ *

+/**
+ * Shared client for ERDDAP servers (NOAA's Environmental Research Division

+ *
+ * ERDDAP is one wire format spoken by ~100 independent ocean/atmosphere data
+ * providers — NOAA CoastWatch, the US IOOS regional associations, PacIOOS,
+ * SECOORA, GCOOS and many university nodes. Every one of them serves
+ * `GET /erddap/search/index.json?searchFor=`,
+ * `GET /erddap/info/{dataset}/index.json`,
+ * `GET /erddap/tabledap/{dataset}.json?vars&constraints` and
+ * `GET /erddap/griddap/{dataset}.json?var[(time)][(lat)][(lon)]`
+ * with the same vocabulary, so the per-pack code is a list of node URLs and
+ * nothing else. "Build once, improve everything": a better error message or a
+ * row cap lands in every ERDDAP pack at the same time.
+ *
+ * SELF-CONTAINED ON PURPOSE. `scripts/publish-pack.sh` inlines this file into
+ * a pack's standalone npm bundle by stripping its `import` lines and its
+ * `export` keywords. A helper that imports from another shared module
+ * therefore ships with a dangling identifier that the monorepo typecheck
+ * cannot see. So: no imports here, ever — not even from './http.js'.
+ *
+ * ── Six traps this file exists to absorb, all measured 2026-09-17 ─────────
+ *
+ * 1. ERDDAP REPORTS "NOTHING FOUND" AS HTTP 404, NOT AS AN EMPTY TABLE.
+ *    A search that matches no dataset, and a tabledap query whose constraints
+ *    exclude every row, both answer 404 with a plain-text `Error { code=...;
+ *    message=... }` block. Read as an HTTP failure that is "the server is
+ *    broken"; read as an empty result it is "this data does not exist". It is
+ *    neither — it is a well-formed no-match. Worse, the body is NOT JSON, so
+ *    a naive `JSON.parse` reports `Unexpected token E` and the caller never
+ *    sees what ERDDAP actually said. Every function here parses that block and
+ *    returns a structured empty result carrying the upstream's own sentence.
+ *
+ * 2. AND THAT SENTENCE USUALLY CONTAINS THE ANSWER. ERDDAP's no-match message
+ *    names the real range: "No data matches time>=2050-01-01 because the
+ *    numeric variable's source min=1970-02-26T20:00:00Z, max=2026-09-17".
+ *    That is the single most useful string the server produces, so it is
+ *    surfaced verbatim in `note` rather than flattened to "no results".
+ *
+ * 3. COLUMN ORDER IS EACH NODE'S OWN CHOICE. The search table from
+ *    coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov carries 17 columns including "Accessible";
+ *    coastwatch.noaa.gov's carries 15 and omits it. Indexing `rows[6]` gives
+ *    you the title on one node and the ISO-19115 link on the other — a
+ *    confident wrong answer, never an error. Everything here indexes by
+ *    column NAME.
+ *
+ * 4. VARIABLE NAMES ARE CASE-SENSITIVE AND FREQUENTLY UPPERCASE. NDBC buoy
+ *    data calls water temperature `WTMP`, not `wtmp`; a lowercase request is
+ *    a 400 `Unrecognized variable="wtmp"`, which reads to a caller as "this
+ *    buoy does not report water temperature". The error path names the info
+ *    tool so the next call is the right one.
+ *
+ * 5. A GRIDDAP POINT CAN SUCCEED AND STILL HAVE NO NUMBER. Ask a regional
+ *    ocean model for a point over land and it returns 200, one row, and
+ *    `null` in the value column. That is a row count of 1 and a silent zero
+ *    (docs/silent-zero-policy.md). `erddapGriddapPoint` reports
+ *    `masked: true` and says the point is outside the model's water mask.
+ *
+ * 6. AN EMPTY `searchFor` IS A 404, NOT "EVERYTHING". ERDDAP refuses a blank
+ *    search outright. Callers reach for it to enumerate a node's catalogue and
+ *    get an error naming no fix, so `erddapSearch` rejects a blank query up
+ *    front with a message that says to pass a subject word.
