1. Connectivity   → can we reach the host at all?
1.5 Timeouts      → connect-slow vs read-slow?
2. TLS/SSL        → cert valid and trusted?
3. Auth           → credentials correct and unexpired?
4. Request format → payload shape match server expectations?
5. Response parse → does our code accept what came back?
6. Semantics      → does the data mean what we assume?

## Finding
Endpoint: POST /api/v1/users
Status:   422 Unprocessable Entity
Req ID:   req_abc123xyz

## Repro
curl -X POST https://api.example.com/api/v1/users \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <REDACTED>' \
  -d '{"name":"test"}'

## Root Cause
Missing required field `email`. Server validation rejects before processing.

## Fix
-d '{"name":"test","email":"test@example.com"}'
