Common to every endpoint

Any route can answer these: a missing or wrong key, no credits left, the platform not answering, or a failure on our side. None of them costs credits.

04Notes

Each answer covers one month: `month` names it (e.g. "October 2026") and `activity` holds the grouped entries with a `summary` and `details`. For the current year, month 1 is the current month. The answer's `cursor` points to the previous month and is null once January of `year` is reached; a cursor before January returns an empty month (`no_activity: true`) for 0 credits. An unknown user is a free 404; a value that is not a GitHub username or profile URL is a free 400.
