Errors, context, and permissions
In GraphQL an error is part of the response, not just a status.
A GraphQL response has two fields: data and errors. If the resolver of one field breaks, that field becomes null, and errors gets an entry with message, path, and extensions.code. The rest of the data arrives as usual — a partial response. The user and permissions are checked through context, which the server creates for every request from the Authorization header.
