# Audit what every minimal cross-grid criterion repair actually admits

`POST /api/astro/electional-criterion-repair-impact-audit`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.cosmicephemeris.com`
- URL: `https://api.cosmicephemeris.com/api/astro/electional-criterion-repair-impact-audit`
- Auth: one of:
  - HTTP bearer
  - API key in header `x-api-key`

Extends the robust-repair audit with an exact counterfactual consequence ledger. For every inclusion-minimal cross-grid repair, each evaluable grid reports baseline and repaired match counts, newly admitted samples, per-omitted-rule violation counts, a violation-cardinality histogram, and the deterministic earliest witness among samples minimizing waived-rule violations. It does not rank repairs or apply criterion weights. Results are exact for returned samples, not continuous-time proofs, causal claims, quality scores, recommendations, interpretations, predictions, probabilities, or statistical confidence. No licensed catalog, new dependency, or request-time network source is used. One standard quota unit per admitted request; failed or timed-out admitted attempts are not refunded. Do not automatically retry.
Historical mode uses an explicit BCE/CE date object and UT1 conventions. Its response is the versioned historical envelope, not the modern UTC envelope. Read result for calculation fields and metadata for limits and uncertainty.

## Headers

- `X-Cosmic-Ephemeris-Receipt` 'v1'

## Request body

- union
  - ElectionalCriterionRepairImpactAuditRequest
    - `start_utc` string, date-time, required
    - `end_utc` string, date-time, required
    - `location` GeographicLocation, required: Geographic coordinates in decimal degrees. The server rejects exactly -90 and +90 latitude because angles and houses are undefined at the poles.
      - `lat` union, required: WGS84 decimal latitude. JSON numbers are recommended; numeric strings are accepted by the current engine, then checked for finiteness/range. Exact poles and undefined Ascendant geometry return 400; supported successful latitude is strictly between -90 and 90. Boolean/null/object/array coordinates are invalid.
        - number
        - string
      - `lon` union, required: WGS84 decimal longitude, east positive, within [-180,180]. JSON numbers are recommended; numeric strings are accepted then checked for finiteness/range.

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request, malformed JSON, out-of-range date/location, unknown model, invalid timezone or ambiguous/nonexistent clock-change time. Invalid attempts reaching quota reservation consume one unit.
- `401`: Missing, invalid, revoked API key or unavailable activated key owner. Dashboard cookies do not authenticate calculation routes.
- `403`: Origin not allowed by production CORS policy. Server-to-server requests can omit Origin.
- `429`: Monthly quota exhausted, per-user two-request concurrency reached, or nginx rate/connection admission refused. Retry-After: 2 is sent for application per-user concurrency only, not a promise that monthly quota resets in two seconds.
- `502`: Engine unavailable, unsuccessful internal server response or invalid upstream JSON. No engine internals are exposed.
- `503`: Four-request global calculation pool full (Retry-After: 2), maintenance or upstream service unavailable.
- `504`: Application engine timeout: 15 seconds normally; planetary events, house ingresses, aspect windows, event calendar, eclipse geometry, electional search, and event-rule search use 30 seconds; Nakshatra Timeline plus the explicitly enumerated readiness, robustness, location, uncertainty, and electional-audit family use 60 seconds. Timer includes response-body parsing; an admitted timeout consumes quota.
