          description: >-
            Optional client-generated idempotency key. Retrying a POST with the
            same key and an identical request body replays the original response
            (only the status, body, and Content-Type are reproduced) instead of
            re-executing; reusing the key with a different body is rejected with
            422. For mutations this avoids duplicating the side effect, while
            for batch-read POSTs it replays a cached snapshot that can be up to
            24 hours stale. Keys are scoped per authenticated caller (falling
            back to the source IP for unauthenticated endpoints) and retained
            for 24 hours.
