+//! ## Error handling
+//! ### [`Error::UrlNotSupported`]
+//! A credential provider may only support some registry URLs. If this is the case
+//! and an unsupported index URL is passed to the provider, it should respond with
+//! [`Error::UrlNotSupported`]. Other credential providers may be attempted by Cargo.
+//!
+//! ### [`Error::NotFound`]
+//! When attempting an [`Action::Get`] or [`Action::Logout`], if a credential can not
+//! be found, the provider should respond with [`Error::NotFound`]. Other credential
+//! providers may be attempted by Cargo.
+//!
+//! ### [`Error::OperationNotSupported`]
+//! A credential provider might not support all operations. For example if the provider
+//! only supports [`Action::Get`], [`Error::OperationNotSupported`] should be returned
+//! for all other requests.
+//!
+//! ### [`Error::Other`]
+//! All other errors go here. The error will be shown to the user in Cargo, including
+//! the full error chain using [`std::error::Error::source`].
