There was a problem hiding this comment.
marshaling and unmarshaling are asymmetric to start with, but the error code is preserved.
Line 192 in ff4c482
When using the new `Augment` function to add context and wrap errors,
the error message in Go is chained and displayed with the full chain
of context:
```
err := InternalService("code", "message", nil)
augmentedErr := Augment(err, "context", nil)
// This is "internal_service.code: context: message"
augmentedErr.Error()
```
But the marshaled error only displays the first level of context,
i.e.
```
// This is just "context"
Marshal(augmentedErr.(*Error)).Message
```
This commit changes the Marshal behaviour to include the full context
chain of error, so it's actually useful outside of Go when marshaled.
```
// This is now "context: message"
Marshal(augmentedErr.(*Error)).Message
```
