 ### Changed
 
-- Field validation failures now return `422 Unprocessable Entity` (RFC 4918) instead of `400 Bad Request`; `400 Bad Request` is now reserved for malformed requests (unparseable JSON, wrong `Content-Type`, route/body mismatch) per RFC 9457
+- Field validation failures now return `422 Unprocessable Entity` (RFC 4918) instead of `400 Bad Request`; `400 Bad Request` is now reserved for malformed requests (unparseable JSON, route/body mismatch); unsupported media types return `415 Unsupported Media Type` (RFC 9110 §15.5.16) via the `[Consumes]` attribute. Error responses follow the Problem Details format (RFC 9457).
