When the Cursor API (or other coding agent integrations) return an error, the error message shown to users only contained the response body text. This made it difficult to understand the nature of the error. Now, ApiError failures show: - For 401 errors: "Failed to make request to coding agent (URL). Please check that your API credentials are correct: 401 Error: <response>" - For other errors: "Failed to make request to coding agent (URL). <code> Error: <response>" Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Error message shows "None Error:" when code is missing
Low Severity
When ApiError is raised without a status code (which happens in several places in the codebase like "Internal Error" or "Connection broken" errors), e.code will be None. The formatted error message will then display "None Error: ..." which is confusing and less helpful than the original str(e) behavior. The code doesn't handle the case where code is None.
