openai.internal._transient_code

(internal) Error codes that name a TRANSIENT provider-side failure. The Responses API's own `response.failed` example is `{"code":"server_error", …}` — a 500 delivered inside a 200 body — and the same failure arriving as an HTTP status classifies as ai.errors.NetworkFailure (ai.errors.classify_http maps >=500 there). Classifying the in-body form as InvalidRequest instead would make it permanently non-retryable under ai.Retry's default judgment, purely because of which envelope the provider chose.
