- A rejected `apiFetch` is not always an `Error`: a REST error arrives as a plain object (`{ code, message, data }`), `parse: false` rejects with the `Response` (which carries `status`, not `message`), an aborted request rethrows an `AbortError`, and a handler set via `setFetchHandler` can reject anything. Do not interpolate the rejection into a string (`` `${ error }` `` gives `[object Object]`) or branch on `instanceof Error`. Normalise it to a message before showing the user anything, and supply your own copy when there is none — `ensureError` in `packages/core-data/src/private-actions.js` is the reference implementation, though it is local to that file rather than exported.
