Response behavior

- Invalid `chart` or `region` values return `400`. - `top-podcasts`, `top-episodes`, and `trending` support all listed regions. Category charts support `au`, `br`, `de`, `gb`, `mx`, `se`, and `us`. - `top-episodes` items include episode fields plus the parent show fields when Spotify returns them. - Upstream chart failures return `502`. - `items[].rank` is assigned from the upstream array order. Example response: ```json { "code": 200, "msg": "OK", "data": { "chart": "religion-spirituality", "chartName": "Religion & Spirituality", "chartType": "category", "region": "us", "regionName": "United States", "limit": 100, "items": [ { "rank": 1, "uri": "spotify:show:4Pppt42NPK2XzKwNIoW7BR", "rankMove": "UNCHANGED", "name": "The Bible in a Year (with Fr.
