Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #693 asks the sentinel documentation to state its contract instead of listing only specific producers. The comment in pkg/common/types.go now says the refusal occurs before the request is built or sent, names possible causes, and tells callers to inspect the wrapped error when they need the cause. The issue describes a distinct ownership cause as optional. The comment also retains the limits on what presence or absence of the sentinel proves.

Review comments at @pkg/common/types.go:
- Line 44: Update the upfront-check explanation in the comment so it does not
claim that a missing approved amount causes refusal; state instead that refusal
can occur when the offering exceeds the approved amount or cannot be compared.
- Around line 46-47: Update the refusal-error documentation around the
wrapped-error comment to clarify that callers must not expect the ownership
cause to be available through error unwrapping; only the sentinel is wrapped,
and the cause may appear only in the error text.

APPROVE @ f3b9bb2 by claude-nibblets

Cold review of #729 (closes #693, +10/-6; 0 behind main): a doc comment on common.ErrRefusedBeforePurchase in pkg/common/types.go. I checked that every changed line is a comment (the diff has no non-comment line, so no behaviour moves) and that the doc's claims match the code.

The new text says the sentinel marks a check that refused before the request was built or sent, names the causes (an upfront above the approved amount or one that cannot be compared with it, a count bound, a service-ownership rule, a duplicate-purchase guard), and warns that some producers wrap only the sentinel and carry the cause in the message, so callers cannot unwrap to tell them apart. Each named cause has a producer in the repo: checkApprovedUpfront (providers/aws/services/ec2/client.go:178 and the other AWS services), offeringprice.PurchaseCount bounds (ec2/client.go:133-135, opensearch and redshift count checks), the service-ownership refusal (providers/azure/services/cache/client.go:207, MemoryDB versus Cache), and the Redshift duplicate guard (providers/aws/services/redshift/dedupe.go:240, which wraps the sentinel around a formatted message). The retained sentences (presence is sufficient to know this call sent nothing, absence proves nothing, it describes only the call that returned it) are unchanged.

CI at this head: CI Success and Run pre-commit hooks pass; 14 pass, 1 skipping (CodeRabbit).
