The sibling guard on POST ( ~line 561) still returns a flat 400 with the generic "A person with this email already exists" message. Bulk imports and the "Add person" flow hit the POST route, so admins get the worse error there. ## Done looks like - POST returns the same shape as PATCH (409 + structured ) when an email is already taken - The "Add person" UI surfaces the friendly "Email already on file for " message without a second lookup hop - A route-level test in covers the new POST response shape ## Relevant files - (POST ~line 561) - (mirror as a POST companion test) Volleyball Elite Academy Reply to this email — we read every reply.
