Building @warpcast and @farcaster, new dad, like making food

Is the value add over responding with a frame that the current input value can be preserved? performance? Is this an accessibility change? 

Perhaps this is possible via an accessible arial-label for images instead.

Or is this a way for broken frames to communicate the errors back (not helpful for users)?

mindful of scope creep - feels like errors may be more expressive and flexible via the frame image + some fallback label for accessibility/etc

if image renders become much faster (I think they will), and theres a minimal way to preserve input (you could also send back a input value in the frame spec - could be used for defaults as well), and libs make displaying errors in frame images easier, then this change would add scope to frames without adding much.

2x faster than a full image render
input state is preserved
makes building a frame with clean error handling simpler

still expect and encourage frames to use full frames in cases where that makes more sense
