/**
 * Extract a human-readable message from a failed `fetch` Response body.
 *
 * Handles both response shapes OmniRoute routes emit:
 * - OpenAI-style `{ error: { message, type, code } }` (from `buildErrorBody`)
 * - legacy `{ error: "..." }` string bodies
 *
 * The server already sanitizes these messages (stack traces / absolute paths
 * stripped via `sanitizeErrorMessage`), so surfacing them in the UI is safe.
 * Falls back to `fallback` when the body is absent, unparseable, or carries no
 * usable message. Never throws -- safe to call directly inside a fetch guard.
