## Response `200`

Plan archived. The response is the plan read shape reflecting the archived state. An already-archived plan succeeds without a write. A plan still attached to a Job is refused with HTTP 409 `interview_plan_attached_to_job` — detach it from the Job first — including when it is already archived.
