Invalid area

What it means

The request was malformed, or a field failed validation. Returned by the Active work read endpoints (list_active_work, find_related_work).

Example detail messages returned with this error:

• area is a top-level folder or module such as apps/api (at most 200 characters).

What to do

Send area as one folder (docs), one module under a folder (apps/api), or / for files at the repository root. Areas are what list_active_work returns in areas.

Response shape

All fremforge API errors are RFC 9457 problem+json:

{
  "type": "https://docs.frem.sh/reference/api/errors/invalid-area",
  "title": "Bad Request",
  "status": 400,
  "detail": "..."
}

Branch on type, not on title or detail - those are human-readable and may be reworded.
