# parse

`POST /v1/parse`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://ndi-api.nace.ai` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://ndi-api.nace.ai/v1/parse`
- Auth: API key in header `X-API-Key`
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/nace/apis/ndi-service/docs/v1/parse/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Parse a document into structured text, Markdown, or block JSON.

Cost class: **job** (processing units proportional to page count and OCR
load; billed on completion).

Accepts any source a granular operation can read — a staged upload, an
``https://`` URL, a workspace file, or a prior Parse job.  Returns ``202`` with
a queued :class:`~ndi_service.app.platform_api.results.Job` immediately;
pass ``?wait_seconds=N`` to block up to N seconds for the result inline.

OCR is applied automatically when the document needs it; the result's
``ocr_applied`` flag reports whether it ran.

Args:
    body: Parse parameters: source, optional page range, and desired
        output formats.
    caller: Authenticated tenant.
    session: Database session.
    wait_seconds: Bounded inline wait (``0`` → immediate ``202``).
    idempotency_key: Replaying with the same key returns the original job.
    response: Injected by FastAPI to set the response status code.

Returns:
    A :class:`~ndi_service.app.platform_api.results.Job`; read ``status``
    regardless of whether the response is ``200`` or ``202``.

## Query parameters

- `wait_seconds` integer: Bounded inline wait. 0 (the default) returns 202 immediately. Above 0 the route returns 200 with a terminal job if the work finished in time, and 202 with the still-running job if it did not. Either way, read `status`.

## Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` string, nullable: Replaying a request with the same key returns the original job with 200, never a second job. The key is kept with the job for replay and never cleared, so it must not contain personal data.

## Request body

- ParseRequest: Body for canonical ``POST /v1/parse`` (and the hidden legacy alias). ``page_ranges`` is the canonical one-based inclusive selector. Legacy ``page_range`` / ``pages`` remain accepted on the wire during rollout. ``password`` is write-only: it is never stored in ``ndi_job.input`` or returned in any response. The service stores an AES-GCM-encrypted copy in ``ndi_job_secret`` for the unlock activity to consume once, then empties it.
  - `name` string, nullable: Optional display name. Public Parse, Split, Classify, Extract, and Ground runs use a stable server default when blank. The console calls a named run a 'project'.
  - `project_id` string, uuid, nullable: Caller-minted grouping id; jobs submitted together share it. Not a server-side resource.
  - `output_workspace_id` string, uuid, nullable: Workspace for retained result artifacts. Defaults to the unique source workspace, or a reused Parse's output workspace. Required for ambiguous destinations involving customer storage. Does not change source access.
  - `corpus_sources` WorkspaceFileSource[]: Workspace files visible in the run tray, including files not submitted by this request.
    - `type` 'workspace_file'
    - `workspace_id` string, uuid, required: Workspace that owns the file.
    - `file_id` string, uuid, required: File id from GET /v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/files.
  - `parse_mode` 'low' | 'medium' | 'high': How much parsing effort to use: Low uses native OCR, Medium routes to the best parser, and High adds page verification and correction.
  - `source` union, required: The document to read: a fresh upload, an HTTPS URL, a workspace file, or a prior parse job.
    - UploadSource: Bytes staged through ``POST /v1/uploads``. Retained until explicit deletion, except under Zero retention.
      - `type` 'upload'
      - `upload_id` string, uuid, required: Id returned by POST /v1/uploads. Ordinary bytes remain until their consuming jobs or tenant are deleted.
    - UrlSource: A public or presigned HTTPS location we fetch server-side.
      - `type` 'url'
      - `url` string, required: HTTPS URL the service fetches.
      - `file_name` string, required: Filename to record for the fetched bytes.
    - WorkspaceFileSource: A file already in a workspace. The single seam between the two contexts: a granular operation may read a workspace file and still write nothing back. The file need **not** be ingested — granular operations read source bytes, not representations.
      - `type` 'workspace_file'
      - `workspace_id` string, uuid, required: Workspace that owns the file.
      - `file_id` string, uuid, required: File id from GET /v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/files.
    - ParseResultSource: A prior Parse job whose parsed artifact can be reused by downstream methods.
      - `type` 'parse_result'
      - `job_id` string, uuid, required: Succeeded parse job whose artifact should be reused.
  - `parser` 'native' | 'datalab' | 'nace_router', nullable: Deprecated parse implementation override. Prefer parse_mode. Omit or null for native; 'datalab' and 'nace_router' remain accepted for compatibility.
  - `page_ranges` PageRange[], nullable: One-based inclusive page ranges to process. Omit to use the whole document.
    - `start` integer, required: First page of the range, 1-based and inclusive.
    - `end` integer, required: Last page of the range, 1-based and inclusive.
  - `page_range` unknown[], nullable: Legacy [start, end] pair. Prefer page_ranges.
    - unknown
  - `pages` PageSelection: One or more one-based inclusive page ranges.
    - `ranges` PageRange[], required: One-based inclusive page ranges to include. At least one range is required.
      - `start` integer, required: First page of the range, 1-based and inclusive.
      - `end` integer, required: Last page of the range, 1-based and inclusive.
  - `output_formats` string[], nullable: Legacy formats list. Prefer output.formats.
  - `quality` 'auto' | 'fast' | 'accurate': Latency versus accuracy preference for this run.
  - `ocr` ParseOcrOptions
    - `mode` 'auto' | 'force' | 'disabled': When to run OCR. auto runs only if the file needs it; force always runs; disabled never runs. ocr_applied on the result says whether OCR actually ran.
    - `languages` string[]: Optional BCP-47 language hints for OCR. Empty lets the engine detect language.
  - `output` ParseOutputOptions
    - `formats` string[]: Which renderings to populate on result.document. Omitted formats are null. Default is markdown plus layout blocks; text is a stripped plaintext rendering.
    - `table_format` 'html' | 'markdown': How tables are written inside markdown and text. Layout blocks keep their own table structure.
    - `include_images` boolean: When true, figure blocks include a crop URL for PDF and raster uploads. A figure that cannot be cropped keeps image_url null; the job still succeeds.
    - `return_ocr_data` boolean: When true, attach word- and line-level OCR geometry on result.document.ocr.
    - `include_page_markers` boolean: Insert `--- Page N ---` headers between PDF pages in markdown and text. On by default. Page chunking and the canonical Parse dependency retain these headers internally when this is false, then strip them from the returned document.
  - `figures` ParseFiguresOptions
    - `mode` 'omit' | 'include' | 'describe': Whether figure regions are dropped, kept as crops, or kept with a generated caption. Defaults to include. describe adds one vision caption call per figure.
  - `diagrams` ParseDiagramsOptions
    - `mode` 'omit' | 'mermaid': Whether flowchart-like figures stay as images or are rewritten as Mermaid fences.
  - `chunking` ParseChunkingOptions
    - `strategy` 'none' | 'page' | 'section': How result.document.chunks is built. none leaves the list empty; page and section produce RAG-sized pieces with locations.
  - `spreadsheet` ParseSpreadsheetOptions: Workbook-specific Parse controls for spreadsheet sources. Defaults preserve the pre-control behavior: every sheet/row/column is included and formula *source text* is omitted (cached values still appear).
    - `sheets` string[], nullable: Optional sheet-name filter. When set, only listed sheets are parsed, in workbook order.
    - `include_hidden_sheets` boolean: When false, skip sheets marked hidden in the workbook.
    - `include_hidden_rows` boolean: When false, skip rows marked hidden.
    - `include_hidden_columns` boolean: When false, skip columns marked hidden.
    - `include_formulas` boolean: When true, include formula source text. Cached calculated values are always present.
  - `password` string, nullable: Optional PDF password. Never stored in the job payload or returned in any response.

## Response `202`

Successful Response

- ParseJob
  - `job_id` string, uuid, required: Server-minted id. Poll GET /v1/jobs/{job_id} or pass wait_seconds on create.
  - `kind` 'parse'
  - `status` 'queued' | 'running' | 'succeeded' | 'failed' | 'cancelled', required: ``cancelled`` is a first-class terminal status, not a ``failed`` variant. Conflating them makes error-rate metrics lie and forces every client to string-match an error code.
  - `name` string, nullable: Display name (the console's 'project'). Public Parse, Split, Classify, Extract, and Ground runs supply a stable server default when blank; citation-generated Ground jobs are excluded. mutable via PATCH /v1/jobs/{job_id}.
  - `project_id` string, uuid, nullable: Caller-minted grouping id shared by jobs submitted together. Filterable on GET /v1/jobs.
  - `workspace_id` string, uuid, nullable: The workspace this job reads. Null for a document operation whose source is an upload, a URL, or a prior parse result.
  - `idempotency_key` string, nullable: Key that was replayed to return this job. Absent when the create call had no Idempotency-Key.
  - `force` boolean, nullable: The request's own `force` flag, echoed regardless of outcome. Present for kinds whose request carries one (e.g. kg_build, where a true value cleared the durable store before the job ran) so a caller can tell that apart from a build that failed leaving the prior store untouched — `result` alone cannot, since it is absent on failure either way.
  - `source` union: What this job read, for the document operations that take a single `source` (parse, split, classify, extract, ground); null for every other kind. Together with `workspace_id` this is what lets a caller re-open the document a past run was about — both `workspace_file` and `upload` sources remain until explicit deletion. Read from the stored request, so it rides the same retention path as `query` and `result`: null once `result_state` leaves `available`.
    - UploadSource: Bytes staged through ``POST /v1/uploads``. Retained until explicit deletion, except under Zero retention.
      - `type` 'upload'
      - `upload_id` string, uuid, required: Id returned by POST /v1/uploads. Ordinary bytes remain until their consuming jobs or tenant are deleted.
    - UrlSource: A public or presigned HTTPS location we fetch server-side.
      - `type` 'url'
      - `url` string, required: HTTPS URL the service fetches.
      - `file_name` string, required: Filename to record for the fetched bytes.
    - WorkspaceFileSource: A file already in a workspace. The single seam between the two contexts: a granular operation may read a workspace file and still write nothing back. The file need **not** be ingested — granular operations read source bytes, not representations.
      - `type` 'workspace_file'
      - `workspace_id` string, uuid, required: Workspace that owns the file.
      - `file_id` string, uuid, required: File id from GET /v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/files.
    - ParseResultSource: A prior Parse job whose parsed artifact can be reused by downstream methods.
      - `type` 'parse_result'
      - `job_id` string, uuid, required: Succeeded parse job whose artifact should be reused.
  - `query` string, nullable: The question this job was asked, for the search kinds that carry one (intelligent_search, qa_file, qa_tables, filtered_search); null for every other kind. Read from the stored request, so it rides the same retention path as `result`: null once `result_state` leaves `available`. Narrow by design — the frozen access context never reaches the wire. File scope is summarised separately as `query_scope`.
  - `query_scope` union: Where this search ran, summarised for history UIs: the whole workspace, one file path, one folder prefix, or a count of files. Null for non-query jobs, filtered-search page continuations, and once `result_state` leaves `available`. Never lists multiple filenames, never the raw request, and never the frozen API-key id.
    - WorkspaceQueryScope: The question ran against the whole workspace.
      - `type` 'workspace'
    - FileQueryScope: The question ran against one workspace-relative file.
      - `type` 'file'
      - `path` string, required
    - PathPrefixQueryScope: The question ran against one folder subtree.
      - `type` 'path_prefix'
      - `prefix` string, required
    - FilesQueryScope: The question ran against several files; only the count is public.
      - `type` 'files'
      - `count` integer, required
  - `effort` string, nullable: How hard this run worked, for the search kinds that carry it. A deep-search job (kind deep_search_v2) created before the effort knob was removed echoes its requested level: 'low', 'medium', or 'high'; newer deep-search jobs, which all run one configuration, read null. An intelligent_search row carries an internal selector instead: 'fast' is fact-search, 'automatic' is automatic-search, and 'deep' (or the legacy 'balanced') is a deep-search or console QA chat job created before the 2026-09 consolidation — those two are not distinguishable by this field. Null for every other kind. Read from the stored request, so it rides the same retention path as `query` and `result`: null once `result_state` leaves `available`.
  - `surface` 'deep_search' | 'qa' | 'workbook', nullable: Which console history this deep-search job belongs to. `deep_search` is the public route and the Deep Search page; `qa` and `workbook` are the console chat skins over the same agent. It does not pick the implementation. Null for fact-search and every non-deep-search kind. Jobs stored before this field existed echo `deep_search`. Read from the stored payload, so it rides the same retention path as `query`.
  - `progress` JobProgress: Absent until the job is ``running``.
    - `units_total` integer, nullable
    - `units_done` integer
    - `items_total` integer, nullable: Files, for batch kinds.
    - `items_done` integer
    - `items_failed` integer: Quarantined after exhausting retries, for batch kinds. Excluded from items_done.
    - `stage` string, nullable: Current pipeline stage, for display only.
    - `knowledge_graph` KnowledgeGraphBuildProgress: Where a ``kg_build`` is, beyond what ``stage`` alone can say. A graph build runs for minutes to hours through a fixed sequence of phases, and ``stage`` names only the current one. Turning that into "how far along" otherwise means hard-coding the build engine's phase order in every client — an order that lives in another package and is free to gain a phase. So the position is reported rather than inferred. The counters are deliberately not a percentage. The phases are wildly unequal (extraction is ~60% of a build, and its per-document cost varies 25x with how dense the documents are), so weighting them is a presentation decision, made against measurements, that belongs to whoever is drawing the bar.
      - `phase_index` integer, required: 0-based position of the current phase in the build's fixed run order; equals phase_count when done.
      - `phase_count` integer, required: How many phases a build passes through before it is done. Currently 9.
      - `countable` boolean, required: Whether items_total/items_done describe this phase. False for the phases that are a single step, which have no unit to count — draw those as indeterminate rather than as a bar stuck at zero.
      - `documents` integer, nullable: Documents registered from the corpus, once the registering phase has run.
      - `mentions` integer, nullable: Mentions extracted across the corpus, once the validating phase has run.
      - `step` string, nullable: The span in flight inside a single-step phase, reported by the running step itself. Null when the phase counts its own units, or before the step has reported one.
      - `step_done` integer, nullable: Units of `step` finished, when it has countable units.
      - `step_total` integer, nullable: Units `step` has to get through, when that is known.
    - `routing` AutomaticSearchRouting
      - `selected` 'fact' | 'agent' | 'deep' | 'filtered', required: The route the router chose, the one the request's `mode` named, or `fact` when nothing was searched: the workspace had no ingested files, or the query asked for nothing that a document contains.
      - `final` 'fact' | 'agent' | 'deep' | 'filtered', required: The pipeline that produced the returned output. It differs from `selected` only in `auto` mode, when the router chose fact search, fact search could not settle the question, and the agent answered instead.
      - `reason` string, required: The router's explanation of its decision, or why no router ran.
      - `router_model` string, required: The model used to choose the search pipeline; `none` when no router ran.
      - `router` union: Which router decided, and what it measured: an LLM (its explanation is ``reason``), NaceDM (its probability and decision point), or `requested` when no router ran: the request's `mode` was `fact` or `agent`, or the workspace had no ingested files. Results routed before this field existed read as the LLM.
        - AutomaticLlmRouter: An LLM chose the route. Its explanation is the routing's ``reason``.
          - `kind` 'llm'
        - AutomaticNaceDmRouter: NaceDM, the decision model, chose the route by scoring how likely the query needs the agent.
          - `kind` 'nacedm'
          - `p_agent` number, nullable, required: NaceDM's probability that the query needs the investigating agent rather than one fact-search pass; 1 - p_agent is the probability that fact search settles it. Null when the request was too long for NaceDM to score, which routes to the agent.
          - `decision_point` number, required: The agent runs when ``p_agent`` is at or above this; fact search runs below it.
        - AutomaticRequestedRouter: No router ran: the request's ``mode`` named the route, or the workspace had no ingested files.
          - `kind` 'requested'
      - `router_wall_ms` integer, nullable: Wall time spent selecting the initial route.
      - `fact_wall_ms` integer, nullable: Wall time spent running fact search, when selected.
      - `delegated_wall_ms` integer, nullable: Wall time spent preparing and running the native deep or filtered job.
  - `result` NdiServiceAppPlatformApiResultsParseResult
    - `result_type` 'parse'
    - `file_name` string, required: Source filename recorded for this run.
    - `lane` string, required: Which parser lane produced this payload, for example document or spreadsheet.
    - `document` ParseDocument, required: The parsed document payload under ``ParseResult.document``.
      - `page_count` integer, required: Number of pages (or equivalent sheets) in the parsed source.
      - `markdown` string, nullable: Markdown rendering when requested in output.formats; null if that format was omitted.
      - `content_url` string, nullable: Authenticated streaming URL for complete content when markdown contains only a bounded preview.
      - `text` string, nullable: Plaintext rendering when requested in output.formats; headings and images stripped.
      - `blocks` ParsedBlock[], nullable: Layout blocks with locations when requested in output.formats; null if omitted.
        - `id` string, required: Stable id of this layout block within the parsed document.
        - `type` string, required: Layout role of the block, for example heading, paragraph, table, figure, or signature. A signature block marks where a signature appears; its content is the placeholder [SIGNATURE].
        - `content` string, required: Text or caption carried by this block.
        - `sheet_name` string, nullable: Owning worksheet, including appendix blocks without a cell range. Null for non-spreadsheet blocks.
        - `source_id` string, nullable: Identity of the embedded image or attachment within this document.
        - `source_name` string, nullable: Embedded source display name, including nested attachment paths.
        - `image_anchor` SheetRange: A cell range on a spreadsheet sheet.
          - `kind` 'sheet_range'
          - `sheet` string, required: Workbook tab name this range belongs to.

          - `kind` 'text_span'
          - `page` integer, nullable: 1-based page when the span maps to a known page. Null for text-only sources.

          - `char_end` integer, required: Exclusive end offset in the derived text.
        - `table_row_offset` integer: Offset of body rows in the sheet cell map; repeated table header still addresses row index zero.
        - `location` union: Where this block sits in the source. Null when the parser did not emit geometry.
          - PageRegion: A region on a 1-based page. A bbox is a 4-point polygon.
            - `kind` 'page_region'
            - `page` integer, required: 1-based page number this region sits on.
            - `polygons` array[]: One or more polygons in normalized 0-1 coordinates, used to draw overlays.

        - `confidence` number, nullable: Probability, from 0 to 1, that this block's text matches the page, from the OCR review when it ran. Null when the block was not reviewed, or its text changed after review.
        - `image_url` string, nullable: Crop URL when output.include_images is true and this block is a figure region.
      - `has_signature` boolean, nullable: True when a signature was detected on any parsed page; the blocks of type signature say where. False only when every parsed page was checked and none was found. Absent or null when signature detection did not run on every parsed page.

    - `ocr_applied` boolean, required: True when OCR actually ran, regardless of the requested ocr.mode.
    - `units` integer, required: Measured work units for this parse, typically one per page. The job's `credits` is the final billed amount.
    - `converted_pdf_url` string, nullable: PDF the office source was converted to before parsing. Block geometry is measured on this PDF. Null when the source was already a PDF or did not need conversion.
    - `transcript_url` string, nullable: Authenticated job-scoped MediaTimeline JSON for audio/video. Null for non-media and historical jobs.
    - `transcript` MediaTimeline: Seekable MediaTimeline JSON carried inline on an audio or video parse.

      - `modality` 'audio' | 'video', required: Whether the source was an audio file or a video file.
      - `duration_ms` integer, required: Probed duration of the recording in integer milliseconds.
      - `speakers` MediaSpeaker[]: Diarizer clusters discovered in the recording. Labels stay null unless a caller mapped them.
        - `id` string, required: Diarizer cluster id for this speaker, for example SPEAKER_00.
        - `label` string, nullable: Mapped display name when a caller assigned one. Null when only the cluster id is known.
      - `segments` union[]: Ordered gapless run of speech and silence covering the whole recording.
        - union
          - MediaSpeechSegment: A stretch of one speaker talking on the parse transcript.
            - `kind` 'speech'
            - `start_ms` integer, required: Inclusive start of this speech stretch, in integer milliseconds.
            - `end_ms` integer, required: Exclusive end of this speech stretch, in integer milliseconds.

            - `transcript` string, required: Recognized speech text for this stretch. The field name is transcript, not text.
            - `frames` MediaFrameRef[]: Sampled video frames that fall inside this stretch. Empty for audio and when none were sampled.
              - …

    - `disclosures` union[]: Structured signals about how this result was produced. Empty when all behaviours matched what the caller would assume without them.
      - union
        - ClassificationGapFillDisclosure: Pages left unclassified by the model were assigned a fallback label. The classification still succeeded. Gap-filled pages should be treated as lower-confidence assignments rather than absences. One disclosure is emitted per distinct fallback label; ``filled_pages`` in that disclosure are exactly the pages that received ``fallback_label``.
          - `code` 'classification_gap_fill', required
          - `filled_pages` integer[], required: Exact 1-based pages assigned a fallback label because the model left them unclassified.
          - `fallback_label` string, required: The classification label applied to every page in filled_pages.
        - ClassificationUnreadPagesDisclosure: Pages never entered any model prompt and are therefore unknown. The classification still succeeded. These pages were dropped by the document-size batch or token cap, so no model produced a label for them. They carry the reserved unknown label regardless of unknown_policy and must not be read as gap-fill (the model never saw them).
          - `code` 'classification_unread_pages', required
          - `unread_pages` integer[], required: Exact 1-based pages that never entered any model prompt and are returned unknown because no model produced a label for them.
        - ExtractionNullOnSuccessDisclosure: Schema-required fields returned null because the document did not contain them. The job succeeded. Null means the document was examined and the field was absent — not that extraction failed or was skipped.
          - `code` 'extraction_null_on_success', required
          - `field_paths` string[], required: JSON paths of schema-required fields that were absent in the source document and returned as null.
        - ParseVendorProvenanceDisclosure: The file was processed by a vendor other than the router's first choice. The parse result is valid. The vendor name is published so a caller can account for differing output quality or formatting between vendors.
          - `code` 'parse_vendor_provenance', required
          - `engine` 'native_ocr' | 'document_ocr' | 'layout_ocr', required: Stable public identity for the parse engine that produced a result.
          - `fallback_depth` integer, required: Number of earlier engines that failed before this engine produced the result.
        - ParseFidelityDisclosure: An oversized parse used a bounded fidelity mode without dropping extracted text.
          - `code` 'parse_fidelity', required
          - `mode` 'reduced_resolution' | 'reduced_layout', required: Rendering or layout adjustment applied to fit the processing memory budget.
          - `pages` integer[], required: Exact 1-based source pages affected when physical pages are available; empty when the bounded format has no reliable physical-page map.
        - ContentTruncatedDisclosure: A user-visible content field was truncated before being included in the result. The result is otherwise complete. ``unit`` states how both size fields should be interpreted.
          - `code` 'content_truncated', required
          - `target` 'classification_input' | 'document_content' | 'spreadsheet_region' | 'extraction_array', required: Processing area where content was reduced before producing a result.
          - `unit` 'characters' | 'tokens' | 'rows' | 'columns' | 'cells' | 'items', required: Unit used to quantify a content reduction.
          - `original_size` integer, required: Size of the content before the reduction was applied.
          - `retained_size` integer, required: Size of the content retained after the reduction was applied.
        - SourceIncompleteDisclosure: The source file ended mid-document, so the result covers only the part that arrived. The job succeeded on the bytes that were present, and a lane that can read a partial file still returns everything it could read. Without this disclosure that output is indistinguishable from a complete document, which is the dangerous reading: a short result looks like a short source. No original size is published because an incomplete file carries no record of how long it should have been. ``received_bytes`` is what a caller can compare against the size it believes it sent.
          - `code` 'source_incomplete', required
          - `received_bytes` integer, required: Size of the file as received, whose final record ended before the record did.
  - `result_state` 'available' | 'expired' | 'not_retained' | 'cancelled' | 'storage_unavailable': Why ``Job.result`` is null. ``available`` with a null result means the job has not succeeded yet; ``expired`` means its content was removed; ``not_retained`` means the client is provisioned ``zero_retention`` and already had its one chance to read it; ``cancelled`` means the job, or the root job it ran for, was cancelled. A cancelled job serves no results (it is not charged, including delivered parts) — not its own progressive values, and not a delegated child's result. It is a read state only, derived on the wire; no row stores it. ``storage_unavailable`` withholds a retained result while its workspace binding refuses access; ``Job.result_error`` explains the current refusal. A late poll returns the job with a state, never a 404 — "this expired" and "this never existed" are a scheduling problem and a bug respectively, and a 404 makes them identical.
  - `result_error` Error: The error object, per spec 12 §1.8.
    - `code` 'storage_connection_not_found' | 'storage_connection_in_use' | 'storage_limit_exceeded' | 'storage_conflict' | 'storage_auth_required' | 'storage_unavailable' | 'scan_required' | 'scan_rejected' | 'scan_unavailable' | 'invalid_request' | 'unsupported_file_type' | 'file_too_large' | 'invalid_schema' | 'invalid_sql' | 'invalid_path_prefix' | 'command_not_permitted' | 'batch_too_large' | 'domain_validation_failed' | 'default_label_required' | 'wait_required_for_zero_retention' | 'ledger_decision_invalid' | 'tenant_required' | 'partner_required' | 'workspace_not_found' | 'file_not_found' | 'job_not_found' | 'upload_not_found' | 'node_not_found' | 'schema_not_found' | 'domain_not_found' | 'session_not_found' | 'access_label_not_found' | 'ledger_understanding_not_found' | 'ledger_table_not_found' | 'tenant_not_found' | 'path_conflict' | 'schema_version_conflict' | 'access_label_name_taken' | 'workspace_name_taken' | 'access_label_in_use' | 'upload_expired' | 'file_not_ingested' | 'workspace_deleting' | 'workspace_not_deletable' | 'ingestion_in_progress' | 'job_not_cancellable' | 'confirmation_required' | 'domain_not_published' | 'domain_in_use' | 'reserved_domain_slug' | 'kg_not_built' | 'kg_build_in_progress' | 'ledger_understanding_in_progress' | 'ledger_understanding_version_outdated' | 'session_busy' | 'tenant_limit_reached' | 'range_not_satisfiable' | 'result_expired' | 'access_denied' | 'tenant_disabled' | 'access_backstop_violation' | 'access_mode_not_implemented' | 'rate_limited' | 'concurrency_limit_reached' | 'quota_exceeded' | 'corrupt_file' | 'zero_byte_file' | 'encrypted_file' | 'csv_dialect_ambiguous' | 'csv_parse_failed' | 'parse_failed' | 'ocr_failed' | 'conversion_failed' | 'sheetless_workbook' | 'unplayable_media' | 'unclassified_pages' | 'job_cancelled' | 'job_timeout' | 'upstream_unavailable' | 'internal_error' | 'unauthorized' | 'not_implemented', required: Every error the ``/v1`` surface can return. Clients must treat this as an **open** enum: a new member is an additive change (spec 12 §9), and a client that crashes on an unknown code makes every future error a breaking change.
    - `message` string, required: Human- and model-readable; says what to do differently.
    - `detail` object, nullable: Structured payload, when the code carries one.
    - `retryable` boolean, required: Whether retrying the identical request could succeed.
    - `request_id` string, nullable: Per-request correlation id; matches the ``X-Request-Id`` header. Null only when the error was minted outside any HTTP request, e.g. by a worker.
  - `error` Error: The error object, per spec 12 §1.8.
    - `code` 'storage_connection_not_found' | 'storage_connection_in_use' | 'storage_limit_exceeded' | 'storage_conflict' | 'storage_auth_required' | 'storage_unavailable' | 'scan_required' | 'scan_rejected' | 'scan_unavailable' | 'invalid_request' | 'unsupported_file_type' | 'file_too_large' | 'invalid_schema' | 'invalid_sql' | 'invalid_path_prefix' | 'command_not_permitted' | 'batch_too_large' | 'domain_validation_failed' | 'default_label_required' | 'wait_required_for_zero_retention' | 'ledger_decision_invalid' | 'tenant_required' | 'partner_required' | 'workspace_not_found' | 'file_not_found' | 'job_not_found' | 'upload_not_found' | 'node_not_found' | 'schema_not_found' | 'domain_not_found' | 'session_not_found' | 'access_label_not_found' | 'ledger_understanding_not_found' | 'ledger_table_not_found' | 'tenant_not_found' | 'path_conflict' | 'schema_version_conflict' | 'access_label_name_taken' | 'workspace_name_taken' | 'access_label_in_use' | 'upload_expired' | 'file_not_ingested' | 'workspace_deleting' | 'workspace_not_deletable' | 'ingestion_in_progress' | 'job_not_cancellable' | 'confirmation_required' | 'domain_not_published' | 'domain_in_use' | 'reserved_domain_slug' | 'kg_not_built' | 'kg_build_in_progress' | 'ledger_understanding_in_progress' | 'ledger_understanding_version_outdated' | 'session_busy' | 'tenant_limit_reached' | 'range_not_satisfiable' | 'result_expired' | 'access_denied' | 'tenant_disabled' | 'access_backstop_violation' | 'access_mode_not_implemented' | 'rate_limited' | 'concurrency_limit_reached' | 'quota_exceeded' | 'corrupt_file' | 'zero_byte_file' | 'encrypted_file' | 'csv_dialect_ambiguous' | 'csv_parse_failed' | 'parse_failed' | 'ocr_failed' | 'conversion_failed' | 'sheetless_workbook' | 'unplayable_media' | 'unclassified_pages' | 'job_cancelled' | 'job_timeout' | 'upstream_unavailable' | 'internal_error' | 'unauthorized' | 'not_implemented', required: Every error the ``/v1`` surface can return. Clients must treat this as an **open** enum: a new member is an additive change (spec 12 §9), and a client that crashes on an unknown code makes every future error a breaking change.
    - `message` string, required: Human- and model-readable; says what to do differently.
    - `detail` object, nullable: Structured payload, when the code carries one.
    - `retryable` boolean, required: Whether retrying the identical request could succeed.
    - `request_id` string, nullable: Per-request correlation id; matches the ``X-Request-Id`` header. Null only when the error was minted outside any HTTP request, e.g. by a worker.
  - `units` integer: Measured work in legacy credit units, retained even when a failed or cancelled job is not billed. Kept for compatibility: `credits` is the authoritative billed amount.
  - `credits` integer, nullable: Final credits billed for this job, priced once under `credit_schedule_version`. Null until `usage_final` is true. Never changes afterwards, including after payload expiry or deletion. Failed and cancelled-before-completion jobs finalize with 0 credits, including delivered parts; ones finalized before that policy keep their credits. Always null on a stage job that Automatic Search delegated: its work is billed on the parent job.
  - `usage_final` boolean: True once `credits` is final and will not change. False while the job is queued or running, and until any cleanup of its delegated stages has been accounted for. A failed tool job (read_file, run_sql, hybrid_search, grep, file_metadata, folder_metadata) created with an Idempotency-Key stays false for one hour after it fails, because a retry with the same key re-runs it; after that hour it is final and the retry returns the stored error.
  - `credit_schedule_version` integer, nullable: Version of the credit schedule `credits` were priced under. Null until `usage_final` is true.
  - `usage_finalized_at` string, date-time, nullable: When `credits` became final. Null until `usage_final` is true.

    - `lines` CostLine[], required: The independently priced Parse and operation components, including paid reuse.
      - `operation` 'parse' | 'split' | 'classify' | 'extract' | 'ground', required: The work this dollar amount pays for.
      - `quantity` integer, required: The number of page-equivalents or Ground targets priced by this line.
      - `unit` 'page' | 'item', required: The quantity's billing unit: page-equivalent or Ground target.
      - `execution` 'fresh' | 'reused', required: The price tier: normal work or verified, billing-eligible tenant reuse; not provider token caching.
      - `unit_price_usd` string, required: USD per unit under the job's pinned price sheet, serialized as a decimal string.
      - `amount_usd` string, required: This line's USD amount: quantity multiplied by unit_price_usd, serialized as a decimal string.
      - `reuse_reason` 'reused_parse' | 'repeat_of_job', nullable: Why the lower reuse rate applies; null on a normal-price line.
  - `usage` JobUsage: How a job's final credits were computed.
    - `lines` UsageLine[], required: One line per part. Their credits sum to the job's credits; waived parts remain listed at 0 credits.
      - `part` 'parse' | 'operation' | 'image_ocr', required: parse: reading the document into text. operation: the tool's own work on what was parsed. image_ocr: reading the images inside an email, HTML or spreadsheet file. A ground job's image_ocr is the email images it read to find targets its text search missed.
      - `quantity` integer, required: How many units of work this part measured, including waived or included work.
      - `unit` 'page' | 'item' | 'unit' | 'image', required: What quantity counts: page is a page or page-equivalent (a spreadsheet's non-empty cells, a minute of audio), item is a ground item, image is an image Parse read inside an email, HTML or spreadsheet file, unit is a job priced by its units directly (agent steps).
      - `credits_per_unit` integer, required: The credit schedule's rate for one unit of this part; zero for OCR included in the ordinary price.
      - `multiplier` integer, required: 2 on the parse and image_ocr parts of a parse_mode "high" job, otherwise 1.
      - `credits` integer, required: quantity x credits_per_unit x multiplier: what this part added to the job's credits. 0 when waived or included in the ordinary price.
      - `waiver` UsageWaiver: Why part of a job, or the whole job, was not charged.
        - `part` 'parse' | 'job', required: parse: the parse part was not charged. job: nothing in the job was charged.
        - `reason` 'reused_parse' | 'repeat_of_job', required: reused_parse: the job read a parse your earlier job already paid for. repeat_of_job: the job repeated your earlier job exactly and was answered with its result.
        - `source_job_id` string, uuid, nullable: Always null: billing history must not disclose another job as its visibility changes.
  - `created_at` string, date-time, required: When the job row was created.
  - `started_at` string, date-time, nullable: When execution began. Null while still queued.
  - `finished_at` string, date-time, nullable: When the job reached a terminal status.
  - `payload_expires_at` string, date-time, nullable: Cleanup deadline after explicit deletion. Null for retained content; Zero retention uses its delivery window.
  - `deleted_at` string, date-time, nullable: When the caller hid this run from listings, via `delete_job`. A soft delete: the job still reads by id and still counts toward `GET /v1/usage` — what it stops doing is appearing in `GET /v1/jobs`.
