Fill all three blanks to log an error only if debug mode is off.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using debug log level when debug is off

Mismatching error messages in exception and response

When debug mode is off, use Log::error() to log errors. The exception message and JSON error message should match, here using 'Debug mode disabled error'.
