File failed to copy due to reason: Success (sh.itjust.works)

The real reason was a boring one and seemingly unrelated to that file. I just ran out of disk space. Still though, that’s not exactly a helpful error is it

Funny tangent. I remember windows HRESULTS containing E_SUCCESS (error success) and something along the lines of S_FAILURE (success failure) I'm a little fuzzy on that second one though, so someone else can correct me if I have the wrong name for it.
