- `403`: Forbidden — the credential lacks the required scope or access.
- `404`: Not Found

Schema validation failures have `code: "INPUT_VALIDATION_FAILED"` and `data.fieldErrors` mapping each invalid field to its messages (nested issues name their full path, e.g. `media[0].url: ...`). Business-rule rejections (e.g. a `scheduledAt` in the past) have `code: "UNPROCESSABLE_CONTENT"` and carry the reason in `data.message` and `data.formErrors`.
