More FAQs in What is the purpose of an API-design document?
Yes. Validation failures, expired sessions, and insufficient permissions affect the user experience. Documenting them lets clients respond predictably instead of handling every failure as an unknown error.
No. Documentation describes intended rules, but the implementation must enforce and test them. Review access checks, validation, and failure behavior against the contract before considering the operation complete.
