fix(seer): extract clean message from coding agent HTTPError bodies#113305
Conversation
When a coding agent launch request fails with an HTTPError, surface the
human-readable message from the API response body (e.g. Anthropic's
{"error": {"type": "...", "message": "..."}} shape) instead
of a generic "Failed to launch coding agent: 500 Error: ..." string.
Adds extract_api_error_message() in seer.autofix.utils and wires it
into both the v2 autofix launch path and the v3 explorer handoff path.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
could we add some tests for this function?
Adds unit tests for the JSON body extraction helper: Anthropic's nested error.message shape, top-level message, missing/invalid bodies, non-dict bodies, non-string messages, and DRF-style detail keys (unsupported).
