Description

Propagate db-specific errors up the stack, giving the end user/devop improved diagnostics for any error condition (which are rare, in production).

This may imply providing our own generic Error and Result.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the current error handling in the codebase, identify where db specific errors are not propagated, and implement custom Error and Result types to improve diagnostics.
