• Production API

Scenario preview of apply_hospitality_action_record_utility_cost — runs the action exactly as apply would (validation, handler dispatch, modified-object projection, commit-time cross-link validation) then rolls the transaction back. Returns the modified_objects / modified_links / warnings the apply would have produced without persisting anything or firing any outward effect. Requires the same actions:hospitality.action.record_utility_cost:apply scope as apply. No Idempotency-Key.

Request Body^required

Media typeapplication/json

object

branch

Apply against an open branch’s overlay view instead of the canonical (main) plane. The action’s writes land in the branch’s copy-on-first-write overlay, its events in the branch’s own stream, and the invocation is journaled for merge-by-replay. Branch writes are action-only, so this is the write-side entry point to a branch (POST /v1/branches forks one).

Preview computed and rolled back. modified_objects and modified_links carry the effect set the apply would produce; preview is always true.

Media typeapplication/json

ApplyActionResponse

Envelope returned by the Aerandil action engine. correlation_id ties every event emitted by this invocation; modified_objects and modified_links project the events the handler emitted (per the action’s declared effects); warnings carries any non-blocking soft-validator observations.

object

correlation_id

required

Per-invocation correlation id; matches events.correlation_id for every event this action appended.

string format: uuid

modified_links

required

Links established or removed by this invocation. Empty when the caller did not request return_modified.

required

Human-readable summary, suitable for logging or operator-UI surfacing.

required

Stable kebab-case rule identifier (e.g. comp-authority-over-limit).
