The original diagnosis of this error was incorrect--the problem is that the InsertFailure error code was being used in two contexts:
- Product registration failure, and
- Product putting failure.
To solve this problem, we have separated the InsertFailure code into a ProductRegistrationFailure code and a ProductPutFailure code. Whereas product-registration failures will now be signaled by the ProductRegistrationFailure error code, we are willing to retain the InsertFailure code for product-putting failures if the stakeholders deem that migrating to ProductPutFailure would cause unnecessarily burdensome backwards incompatibilities. We will poll the stakeholders for their input, encouraging the migration of InsertFailure to ProductPutFailure.
