Expected behavior

After submitting the registration, the server should either:

• Generate valid vector sets,
  or
• Reject the registration with a clear validation error if any capability is unsupported.

Additional context

Instead of failing during registration, the server behaves as if vector generation is proceeding normally.

A vsId is assigned, and the /vectorSets/{vsId} endpoint returns vector data.

However, the returned vectors contain an error such as:

"error": "General exception. Contact service provider."

This indicates that an internal exception is occurring after the registration has already been accepted and vector generation has begun.
