TYPE_E_WRONGTYPEKIND
TYPE_E_WRONGTYPEKIND: the resolved Automation type has a different TYPEKIND than the caller requires
TYPE_E_WRONGTYPEKIND (0x8002802A) identifies a specific boundary: the resolved Automation type has a different TYPEKIND than the caller requires. Keep it separate from neighboring errors that may occur in the same product but represent a different lookup, state, trust, or transport decision.
Evidence to capture
Record the resolved type name/GUID, TYPEKIND, requested operation, HREFTYPE/MEMBERID path, and library version. This is a type-contract mismatch after lookup succeeds.
Corrective test
Correct the caller expectation or the generated metadata so the resolved type has the required kind, then repeat the same lookup/operation. Preserve the original identifiers while testing; if another HRESULT appears after this boundary is fixed, treat that value as the next-stage result.
