Research direction

Review the existing exception classes and their current uses in the Python SDK, focusing on whether accessors and string representations are consistent and ergonomic. Define what exception behavior should be polished, then document the decision and update the affected exceptions and their coverage accordingly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Are they sufficiently ergonomic the way they are, or do more of them need accessors, better string representations, etc.?
