Every failing endpoint returned "An error occurred; see logs for
details" and nothing else. That is survivable until the logs are the
thing you cannot reach: a device whose SD card was failing answered the
restart action, /system/status and /logs with that same sentence -- the
log viewer included, because journalctl could not be executed -- while
the exception underneath said
[Errno 5] Input/output error: 'systemctl'
which names the fault outright. The only endpoint that helped was
/health, and only because it happens to pass a subprocess's stderr
through. Diagnosis came down to guessing which endpoint leaked something.
Add describe_exception(), returning "TypeName: message" on one line, and
populate the `details` field that the response schema has always had and
nothing ever filled. The type alone carries information -- a bare
PermissionError says more than any generic sentence.
Exception text is not automatically safe to echo: a requests error
quotes the URL it failed on, and plugins that authenticate by query
string put their key there. Credential values are redacted while the
parameter name is kept, since knowing which credential was involved is
part of the diagnosis. Length is capped and newlines collapsed so a
parser's context cannot flood a JSON field.
Nine handlers in api_v3 bound the exception and never used it, so the
promised log entry was never written either -- "see logs for details"
was false, not merely unhelpful. Those now log with a traceback and
carry the detail. The other 60 already logged and are unchanged; they
can adopt the helper as they are touched.

The 3.2.0 section described the unified sports library but none of the
install-path work that landed in #428 and #431 -- which matters more than a
normal changelog omission, because the sunset rule keys on this section to
tell plugin authors what a given floor buys them.
The headline addition: 3.2.0 is the first release that *enforces*
ledmatrix_min_version. Before it the floor was advisory, so a plugin could
declare one and still be delivered to a core that could not run it. That is
the property B6 waits on, and it is now stated where a plugin author will
look for it -- along with the caveat that a core reporting below 2.0.0 is
treated as unknown rather than old and is never blocked.
Also records compatibility.py (and that it does not yet read
compatible_versions), check_release_version.py and its workflow, the
install-preservation fix, the reentrant-lock deadlock fix, and the
web_interface version re-export.
No version bump: 3.2.0 is unreleased, so this describes the release being
cut rather than a new one.
