Approved.
Trivial, well-tested change that reclassifies expected validation errors as user errors instead of platform failures; no risky territory touched.

QueryRunner.run so DRFValidationError converted from
ClickHouseQueryMemoryLimitExceeded remains an SLO failure, while genuine
UserAccessControlError and validated user-input/no-data errors retain USER_ERROR
with SLO success. Reuse the original exception captured by
experiment_error_handler when distinguishing converted technical failures.

Approved.
Contained error-classification fix, authored by the owning team; the diff directly addresses CodeRabbit's SLO-masking concern (a wrapped ClickHouse OOM now recurses through cause and still fails the SLO) with a dedicated regression test, so the substantive review comment is resolved rather than ignored.

Approved.
Contained fix to internal SLO/error-classification logic with new test coverage for both the plain and chained-cause cases; not risky territory, author is on the owning team, and the earlier CodeRabbit concern (technical errors wrongly classified as user errors) is exactly what this diff's cause check addresses.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use cause-aware classification for query-execution metrics. _call_with_rate_limits() invokes self.calculate(), so DRF validation errors can reach the metric handler. That handler calls posthog.errors.classify_query_error(e), which returns QueryErrorCategory.ERROR for DRF ValidationError and does not inspect __cause__. Uncased validation errors therefore lose the USER_ERROR/SUCCESS classification, and caused technical errors lose their original failure category.
Route both query-execution metrics through the cause-aware classifier.

Problem
Expected user-facing validation errors raised inside query runners flood error tracking. The biggest source: "No exposures for the 'control' variant yet" from experiment queries, raised for every freshly launched experiment on each scheduled recalculation (104 occurrences last week, error tracking issue).
classify_query_errordoesn't recognize DRFValidationError, soQueryRunner.runclassifies it as a platform failure and captures it.Changes
_classify_error_for_slofolds DRFValidationErrorintoUSER_ERROR, same as the existingUserAccessControlErrorhandling: rendered as a 400, counted as SLO success with theuser_errorcategory, not captured to error tracking.ValidationErrorwith an explicit__cause__is a technical error a runner converted for display (the experiments error handler wraps ClickHouse OOM this way). It classifies by the original exception, so real platform failures keep failing the SLO and stay captured.raise ... from eso the classifier can see it.How did you test this code?
Added two cases to the existing parameterized SLO boundary test in
test_query_runner.py: a plainValidationError(must classify as user error, not captured) and one chained to a ClickHouse memory error (must keep failing the SLO and stay captured). Rantest_query_runner.py(119 passed) andtest_error_handling.py(27 passed) locally.Summary by CodeRabbit
