## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format (not YYYY-MM-DD) returns validation error
- Unsupported or unknown country code returns empty or error response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 status
- Sub-region code not recognized for given country
- No holidays found returns is_holiday: false with empty holidays array
