   @exceptionfactory i did consider some alternatives. I went with `uiOnly` 
because I specifically wanted to make it *very* clear that no other consumer 
should be using it. Ever. Because the point of it is that we can change what 
gets returned for that response at all. If we called it `minimal`, `truncated`, 
`summarized`, etc. even with that fact documented, a consumer would be likely 
to assume that if a field is populated in version 1.15.0, then in 1.15.1 it 
should be populated as well, etc.
   
   Typically, we do use a flag of `verbose`, where that can be set to false in 
order to bring back minimal details. But we maintain backward compatibility 
between versions there. Here, we do not want to guarantee any sort of backward 
compatibility between versions.
