Add error handling for API response access

Validate HTTP status and safely access nested response data using `dig`/guards.

Why this matters

Avoids method errors on unexpected payloads and surfaces transport failures.

Side-by-side examples engineers can pattern-match during review.

Avoid

json = JSON.parse(resp.body); token = json["data"]["token"]

Prefer

raise "HTTP #{resp.code}" unless resp.code.to_i < 400
json = JSON.parse(resp.body)
token = json.dig("data", "token")

Bad

JSON.parse(resp.body)['x']['y']

Good

JSON.parse(resp.body).dig('x','y')

From the same buckets as this rule.

Critical
Check consent and role-based authorization before returning ePHI
Handlers must verify the requester’s role and a valid consent/relationship (e.g., care team assignment) before disclosing ePHI; include Purpose-Of-Use in the decision and audit the outcome.

Children's data: verify age and parental consent
If data subject is a child/adolescent, require age verification and parental/legal guardian consent prior to processing; deny processing otherwise and do not store the payload.

Critical
Disallow public ingress without explicit allowlist
For Ingress/Service of type LoadBalancer, require host/path allowlist and TLS; forbid 0.0.0.0/0 exposure without WAF or Auth.
