Failure posture

treat 401, 402, and 403 as authentication or entitlement failures; do not fall back to the public website preview silently
treat RSS as a transport format; use GET /v1/situations/feed when an agent needs the full structured event payload
preserve Request-Id and traceparent when retrying 429 and 5xx responses with bounded backoff
