      - `name` string, required: The name of the launch group. Alphanumeric only; maximum 52 characters. Can be changed via `PUT /launch-groups/{launchGroupId}`; renaming does not regenerate `fqdn`, so the two may permanently disagree after a rename.
      - `description` string, nullable, required: An optional, free-text description of the launch group. Always present in the response; null if none is currently set -- either because none was ever supplied or because a later update via `PUT /launch-groups/{launchGroupId}` cleared it.
      - `codebase_id` string, required: Identifier of the codebase this launch group belongs to.
      - `fqdn` string, required: The Acquia-generated fully-qualified domain name customers CNAME their custom domains to. Generated once from the lowercased name the group had at creation and never regenerated afterward, including when `name` is later changed via `PUT /launch-groups/{launchGroupId}`, so `name` and `fqdn` may permanently disagree.
      - `status` 'idle' | 'switch-in-progress' | 'failed' | 'degraded', required: The current state of the launch group. `switch-in-progress` while a publish switch is running; `failed` if the last publish switch did not complete (safe to retry); `degraded` if the group has no Published member (for example, its Published site instance was deleted at the platform level).
