+//! According to the official async-openai documentation:
+//! - `OpenAIError::ApiError(ApiError)` contains structured error information from OpenAI
+//! - `ApiError` has fields: `message`, `type`, `param`, and `code`
+//! - Authentication errors have `code` set to `"invalid_api_key"`
+//! - `OpenAIError::Reqwest(Error)` contains HTTP-level errors (connection issues, etc.)

 /// Checks if an error represents an OpenAI API authentication failure.
 ///
-/// This function detects various authentication failure patterns including:
-/// - OpenAI-specific API key errors (invalid_api_key, incorrect API key)
-/// - Generic authentication/authorization failures
-/// - HTTP-level errors that typically indicate authentication issues when calling OpenAI
+/// This function detects authentication failures by checking for:
+/// 1. **Structured API errors** (preferred): Checks if the error contains an `OpenAIError::ApiError`
+///    with `code` field set to `"invalid_api_key"` - this is the official OpenAI error code
+///    for authentication failures.
+/// 2. **String-based fallback**: As a fallback, checks for authentication-related keywords in
+///    the error message for cases where the error has been wrapped or converted to a string.
+///
+/// This approach is based on the official OpenAI API error codes documentation and the
+/// async-openai Rust library structure.
