Code	Description
`400`	Validation failed — body is malformed or missing required fields.
`401`	Missing or invalid API key. Send the raw key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
`403`	Agent does not hold the permission scope required for this call (e.g. preempt on a higher-priority class).
`404`	Calendar owner or booking id not found.
`409`	Conflict — the requested slot was already committed at higher priority. Inspect alternatives[] in the response body.
`422`	Engine refused the request — a hard rule (working hours, daily limit, sacred meeting) fired. reason_code names the rule.
