When a LoopContacts user attempts to retreive a contact, it should be able to tell the difference between "that contact isn't in the database" and "an attempt to access the database resulted in an exception or other error of some kind" without examining error.message. Calling the callback with both "error" and "contact" set to null conveys this unambiguously, and has the added benefit of playing nicely with users who wrap the callback in a Promise. (Semantically, this is sensical: "your search request succeeded, but did not yield any results".)

Looks like this landed with tests. Does this need QA?

(In reply to Anthony Hughes, QA Mentor (:ashughes) from comment #5) > Looks like this landed with tests. Does this need QA? Probably not; this is just an API change, and the mochi tests check that the functional behavior is as expected.
Thanks Adam, untracked for verification.
