Fix status: documented_behavior Unknowns: - HTTP status is not shown in the doc examples; 400 is assumed from general content-filter behavior. Other error fragments: - Generated image was filtered as a result of our safety system. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-ai-docs/blob/main/articles/foundry/openai/includes/how-to-dall-e-2.md (official_docs, 2026-09, documented_behavior): Image troubleshooting shows both contentFilter JSON errors and explains which one applies to prompt vs generated image.
