## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized scripture reference format returns an error
- Cross-chapter ranges are not supported and will fail or return partial results
- Unsupported translation codes (non-KJV) return an error or fall back to default
- Malformed input (missing book name, chapter, or verse) yields a validation error
