Previously, when the API returned non-HTTP-status-code errors like 'Request timed out.', the UI would display the generic message 'API Request Failed' instead of the actual error text. This fix ensures that error messages that don't start with HTTP status codes (400+) are displayed directly to the user, improving error visibility and debugging.
