the ahttps://github.com/cognitect-labs/aws-api seems to return spec error information as a value to me when something goes wrong. Is there a way to have expound read that value and produce it's human readable output?

probably explain-result(s)

yea

Not sure exactly what type of data is returned by aws-api, but I think printer would be your best best if the value is normal “explain data” https://cljdoc.org/d/expound/expound/0.9.0/api/expound.alpha#printer
