Your observations are definitely valid. Structured errors were introduced in Zed some time ago, but as you highlight, they're not yet being generated in all the places they could be and with appropriate detail. There were a couple existing to-do items in the Zed backlog to make these enhancements in packages where it would have a high impact, but we've now created an additional Epic https://github.com/brimdata/zed/issues/4608 to gather these up and remind ourselves to address this in a comprehensive way. Thanks for helping to shine a light on this!
