So clearly not all values are supported.

And I know that I can create a wrapper for unsupported types. My problem is exactly that – I don't know what types are supported. Is error supported, for example? Should I create a wrapper for it? And, as a handler author, should I support it directly or not?

Not sure what your definition of "supported" is, but I'm afraid you're going to have to bite the bullet and ... gasp ... read the documentation https://pkg.go.dev/log/slog

Not sure I understand your sarcasm. I read the documentation, source code, handler writing guide, and issues in the Go repository multiple times over two years, and I use slog extensively. Go is my primary language since r60. I think I know how to read Go docs.

Now, please point me to the place in the documentation that says if I can or can't use a value implementing the error interface as an attribute value, and will the handler or something else would call the `Error() string` method.

My definition of "supported" is simple – I could pass a supported value to the logger and get a reasonable representation from any handler. In my example, the JSON handler does not provide it for the fmt.Stringer.
