A preflight can fail for many different reasons. To help clarify an error result, we have assigned integer codes to all of our different types of errors to make them easier for you to catch without having to match text. Note that these error objects are returned as part of the response body when you check the status of an errored preflight through the detail endpoint, and that a preflight can have multiple errors.
