   ### SUMMARY
   
   **Problem:**
   When a database is unreachable, MCP's `generate_chart` tool tells the user 
"Chart query failed to execute. The chart configuration is invalid" with 
suggestions like "Check that all columns exist." Users see this and think their 
chart config is wrong — when the real problem is the database is down.
   
   **Root cause:**
   `_compile_chart()` in `compile.py` already classifies database errors 
correctly and returns a structured `error_obj` with the right error type and 
message. But `generate_chart.py` was ignoring `error_obj` entirely — it threw 
it away and constructed a new hardcoded error with `error_type="compile_error"` 
and generic suggestions every time, regardless of what actually failed.
   
   **Solution:**
   Use `compile_result.error_obj` when available instead of hardcoding a new 
error. Fall back to the generic compile error only if `error_obj` is None. Also 
added `_classify_as_database_error()` in `compile.py` which uses Superset's 
existing `db_engine_spec.extract_errors()` to detect database errors — the same 
classification the UI uses.
