A real response from the API; long lists are cut to their first items.

`live_ids` and `upcoming_ids` index `events`. `status` is `scheduled`, `upcoming`, `live` or `ended`; `rights` is the event's source rights class ([Data and use](https://langbot.ai/docs/legal#rights-classes-for-live-sources)).

| 422 | `validation_error` | A parameter failed validation; `detail[].loc` names it. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Over your request budget; wait `Retry-After` seconds. |

Every error body is `{"detail": …, "code": "…"}`; branch on `code`. All codes: [Errors](https://langbot.ai/docs/api#errors).
