I can tap to a much nicer display, any way to make that the default?

if I rethrow without ex-cause I do see the more specific ex-message but I’d prefer to not lose the ex-cause

Have to check how the source works. Probably comes from the underlying clojure tooling which behaves this way to show you the actual error and not the wrappers around it

shouldn’t it be the other way around? Augmenting and rethrowing should typically add information and improve the message?

Maybe. If a tls connection throws so your connection throws so your query throws so your endpoint throws, you ideally want the tls connection issue. The others lack any context
