I agree in current callback model, we only propagate error code to the outer client, so we lose the information about the detail cause.
But I think we also tried to map some zk error codes to bk error codes. NoNode -> NoLedger NodeExists -> LedgerExists ยทยทยท (other codes) Also we tried to hide zk metadata related implementation behind interfaces, so some of the errors should be handled by the zk ledger manager implementation before propagating to the client.
