Clear every draft competency

Clear every draft competency

Required scopes: interview_plans:write

Empties the competencies stage. Prune-and-report. Every cleared competency's behavioral-anchor entry is pruned in the same atomic write: the response reports pruned_behavioral_anchor_ids and the questions_and_directions stage version bumps alongside competencies. A follow-up anchor edit carrying the pre-prune questions_and_directions version returns 409 stale_source_stage.

Clearing is explicit, and it is the only way to empty a stage. Where a stage has an item-level delete_* action it refuses to remove the last item, and outcomes have no item-level delete at all, so an empty stage can only be reached through this verb. The stage is written as an empty list, its version bumps, and source_metadata.<stage>.cleared_version records the version at which it was cleared — so the emptied section still reads as addressed, not never filled in.

A cleared draft cannot be published as a new plan. Draft validation still requires items in every stage, so a draft with a cleared section will not reach validated. That is the intended shape of the verb, not a gap: the onward action is POST /v1/interview_plans/actions/modify_active, which binds the emptying onto an already-live plan.

No confirmation field. Clearing takes no acknowledgement flag. Nothing is lost at this point — the draft is a working copy, and the emptying only reaches candidates when a caller previews and binds it onto the live plan.

Verbatim edit. The draft stores exactly what you send — no AI generation, no rewriting; the same request always produces the same stored content. The response echoes the stored stage content plus the full stage_versions map.

Fetch-modify-submit with source_stage. Read the draft with GET /v1/interview_plan_drafts/{draft_id}, take the edited stage's version from stage_versions, and pass it as source_stage: {stage, version}. If the stage changed since your read, the edit returns 409 stale_source_stage instead of overwriting it. Editing a stage whose prerequisite checkpoint is missing returns 409 stage_prerequisite_missing.

Atomic write. Every mutated stage's version bumps in one write, and a validated draft rolls back to draft so validation reflects the new content.

Writes return data.audit with audit/event ids. Successful write events and audit rows include the resource type, public draft id, action key, request context, livemode partition, and a redacted payload summary. Use Idempotency-Key on retries; replayed requests return the cached response and do not duplicate draft checkpoints, audit rows, or events.
