- Lets services declare their error contract once in proto and pick it up in Go without hand-rewriting the same domain/reason/code/visibility/help/metadata in two places.
- Field-level FieldOptions (visibility, value/default_value) drive per-instance metadata, so a populated proto message becomes a fully-formed error without per-call boilerplate.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new proto-backed error templates work for the intended message type. However, passing a different message type can expose unrelated field values as public error metadata. Fields legitimately set to zero or false are also left out of the error metadata. The generated-code CI check can miss newly added generated files. These should be addressed before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Include new generated files in the regeneration check.
If a new proto creates a .pb.go file that was not committed, git diff --quiet still succeeds because the file is untracked. This job can then report that generated code is current when a binding is missing. Check git status --porcelain after generation, or add generated paths to the index before checking the diff.

Reject messages that do not match the template descriptor.
If a caller passes another message type, FromProto reads its fields by the template’s cached field numbers. For example, a message with a password at field number 1 can have that password emitted under UserNotFound’s public userId metadata. Store the template descriptor and verify the supplied message type before reading any fields. (pkg.go.dev)

Preserve legitimate zero-valued field metadata.
For a proto3 scalar without explicit presence, m.Has(field) is false when the value is 0 or false, even if the caller assigned that value. An annotated count or Boolean field therefore disappears from the error metadata. Define how annotated implicit-presence scalars should be handled, and require optional or another presence-bearing type when the converter must distinguish an unset field from an assigned zero value. (pkg.go.dev) Based on learnings, proto3 scalar defaults do not track presence unless the field is optional or wrapped.
