Closes #83

What

AlphOne names its error vocabulary for what it is. The graph gate answers through scopeError, capabilityError and refusedWith, the fields store explains itself through errorFor and the importer through errorDetail, five test helpers and eight test names follow, and one docs sentence is reworded. Every refuse verb stays, so nothing on the wire changes and all eight extension codes keep their values.

Why

The noun refusal names no error concept in any surveyed standard and in 2026 reads as a model declining a request, while the verb is normative HTTP vocabulary. gouncer 0.10.0 and Gophenberg already moved, and the translation cycle adds extensions.reason next, so this lands before the word reaches a public contract.

Testing Instructions

None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Clarified that scope-based token rejections are separate from capability-based authorization and do not include a capability.
  • Refactor

    • Standardized terminology from “refusal” to “error” across authorization, validation, GraphQL, token, and import scenarios.
  • Tests

    • Updated test expectations and diagnostics to consistently describe errors while preserving existing behavior and validation coverage.

Add a canonical doc comment to the renamed test.

TestErrorForReportsAClosedPool is a changed Go function declaration without a doc comment.

Proposed fix
+// TestErrorForReportsAClosedPool verifies that errorFor reports a closed pool error.
 func TestErrorForReportsAClosedPool(t *testing.T) {

As per coding guidelines, every function carries a doc comment, with Go comments in canonical form.

Use error terminology in the sendErrorCode comment.

The renamed helper still describes “a refused send”. Update the comment to use “send error” while keeping refusal verbs in test names unchanged.

Proposed fix
-// sendErrorCode returns the graph code a refused send carries.
+// sendErrorCode returns the graph code carried by a send error.
