Fixes #14377

Non-public errors were returned from delete and update endpoints

Previously, non-public errors (500 errors, or errors without isPublic: true and status) were returned from the delete and update endpoint. For security reason, this PR excludes the error messages from the response.

This aligns bulk endpoints with others (e.g., deleteByID) that already gate error details through routeError.ts.

Loosen up isPublic check when throwing API error

APIError now infers isPublic from the status code unless explicitly provided:

  • Non-500 (e.g., 4xx): isPublic defaults to true.
  • 500 or missing status: isPublic defaults to false.

You can still override by passing a boolean isPublic explicitly. Previously, the only way to mark the error as public was:

throw new APIError('error message', 401, null ,false)

which feels unnecessary explicit.

Now, you can do this:

throw new APIError('error message', 401)

which previously resulted in isPublic: false and now results in isPublic: true.

Stricter error check in routeError

routeError now uses isErrorPublic(err, config) to decide whether to expose the error message. Compared to the old condition (!config.debug && !err.isPublic && status === 500), this is a bit stricter and easier to understand. Errors with isPublic === false are now hidden even for non-500 statuses (previously they were shown).

Just adding data-id for simpler e2e testing. Rest is identical

hooks: {
beforeDelete: [
({ id }) => {
throw new APIError(`Test error: cannot delete document with ID ${id}`, 401)
