Research direction

Start by reading the UPWARD specification's requirements for server-error responses and tracing how errors are handled in the UPWARD router. Done means server errors are wrapped and returned as GraphQL-compliant JSON in every relevant router response.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Spec expects all server errors to be returned as GraphQL-compliant JSON.

Create exception/error handler in UPWARD router that will appropriately wrap errors for the spec.
