ai.credential.failed v1 (OpenVibe.AI; L36 Y8): a provider refused one of a person's own keys with 401 or 403 during a run. The key's status becomes failing and this event tells the products that may show it. \`error\` is a redacted line that never carries the key. Envelope: on\_behalf\_of the person, subject { type: credential, id: <subject>:<provider> }, visibility internal, priority important, actor service:ai.
