## Other responses

- `401`: The credential is missing, malformed, unknown, expired, revoked, or past its rotation grace window. Code: `unauthorized`. Every authentication failure is deliberately indistinguishable.
- `403`: The credential is valid but may not do this. Codes: `insufficient_scope` (the route's scopes are not all held; `details` names `requiredScopes` and `missingScopes`), `forbidden` (the capability check on the resolved resource failed), `scope_escalation` (a grant wider than the caller's own was requested).
- `404`: The resource does not exist, was deleted, or belongs to another workspace. Code: `not_found`. The three cases are answered identically on purpose, so a 404 never confirms that an identifier exists elsewhere.
- `429`: A limit was reached. Codes: `rate_limited` (the credential's per-bucket HTTP limit, or the per-workspace detection throttle), `workspace_limit_exceeded` (a workspace content or send limit; `details.limit` names it), `daily_budget_exceeded` (the workspace's daily detection budget). The four rate-limit headers are sent on this response and on no successful one, so a client cannot read its remaining budget without being refused. Retrying after `Retry-After` is always safe: a rate-limit refusal happens before the handler runs.
- `503`: A dependency the request needs is unreachable and nothing was changed. Codes: `queue_unavailable` (a background job could not be enqueued; retry the call), `billing_unavailable` (Stripe would not open a checkout session; nothing was charged, retry the call), `service_unavailable` (the rate-limit store is down, so the request was refused before running).
