The canonical list is [`ResilientLLMErrorCode`](./lib/ResilientLLMError.ts) in the source. Javascript users can use the error object properties { name="ResilientLLMError", code, message, metadata, retryable }.

-#### `parseError(statusCode, error)`
+#### `parseError(statusCode, error, operationMetadata?)`
 
-Parses errors from various LLM APIs to create uniform error messages. This method is called internally when errors occur.
+Normalizes an error into **`ResilientLLMError`**. Used internally when `chat()` fails; you can call it directly if you need the same mapping (e.g. tests).
 
 **Signature:**
 ```typescript
-parseError(statusCode: number | null, error: Error | Object | null): never
+parseError(statusCode: number | null, error: Error, operationMetadata?: OperationMetadata | null): never
 ```
 
 **Parameters:**
 
 | Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
 |-----------|------|----------|-------------|
-| `statusCode` | `number \| null` | Yes | HTTP status code or null for general errors |
-| `error` | `Error \| Object \| null` | Yes | Error object |
+| `statusCode` | `number \| null` | Yes | Provider HTTP status when known, or `null` |
+| `error` | `Error` | Yes | Underlying error |
+| `operationMetadata` | `OperationMetadata \| null` | No | Merged onto the thrown error’s `metadata` |
 
-**Returns:** `never` - Always throws an error
+**Returns:** `never` — always throws **`ResilientLLMError`**.
 
-**Throws:** `Error` with appropriate message based on status code
-
-**Status Code Mappings:**
-
-| Status Code | Error Message |
-|------------|---------------|
-| `400` | "Bad request" |
-| `401` | "Invalid API Key" |
-| `403` | "You are not authorized to access this resource" |
-| `404` | "Not found" |
-| `429` | "Rate limit exceeded" |
-| `500` | "Internal server error" |
-| `503` | "Service unavailable" |
-| `529` | "API temporarily overloaded" |
-| Other | "Unknown error" |
-
-**Note:** This method is called internally by the `chat()` method when errors occur. You typically don't need to call it directly.
+If `error` is already a **`ResilientLLMError`**, it is rethrown (metadata may be merged). Otherwise **`statusCode`** selects a **`PROVIDER_*`** code (e.g. `401` → `PROVIDER_UNAUTHORIZED`); `null` or unknown statuses map to **`PROVIDER_ERROR`**. See [`lib/ResilientLLMError.ts`](../lib/ResilientLLMError.ts) for the full `ResilientLLMErrorCode` union.

+Failures from **`chat()`** are thrown as **`ResilientLLMError`** (see `chat()` **Throws** above). That type is the consumer-facing surface: **`code`**, **`retryable`**, optional **`metadata`** (same shape as success), and **`cause`** for logging.

+**Stable string codes** — **`ResilientLLMErrorCode`** in [`lib/ResilientLLMError.ts`](../lib/ResilientLLMError.ts) (including `PROVIDER_*`, structured-output codes, resilience-related codes, and configuration/capability codes). **`retryable`** is defined there for codes where a simple retry might help.
 
-| Error Name | Description | Retry Behavior |
-|------------|-------------|----------------|
-| `AbortError` | Operation was aborted | No retry |
-| `TimeoutError` | Operation timed out | Retries with backoff |
-| `Error` (message: "Circuit breaker is open") | Circuit breaker is open | No retry until cooldown expires |
+Use **`error.code`** for branching, not raw HTTP status. When a provider HTTP status was available to the library, it may also appear under **`metadata`** (e.g. `provider.httpStatus` / `http`).
