Withdraw a pending review (composing agent)
POST /v1/reviews/{id}/cancel
The composing agent withdraws its own pending review to the terminal cancelled state (M5; spec §3.2 “agent withdraws”). Only the composer may cancel its own review (a foreign id, or another agent’s draft, 404s; no cross-agent existence leak). A terminal review 409s (you cannot withdraw a sent message; D17).

A review request (rr_…); the server-owned pre-send record of a message under the Review Loop. Carries intent, the current proposed draft, category, state machine fields, and (once sent) the sent body + diff.

True once this review will never move again; sent, auto_sent, cancelled OR failed. It is the definitive per-review “am I done?” answer and the poll-side companion to the terminal review events; use it after a restart when your event cursor is gone. failed is included deliberately: nothing re-approves a failed review, so treating it as open means waiting forever.
Vendor-scrubbed delivery failure, present on a failed review.
How the message was released, once sent.

missing required scopeA Review Loop conflict, as problem+json. Branch on code, NOT on the 409 status; the four codes demand opposite behavior. stale: the revision/version you named is no longer current (a human moved the draft) and NOTHING was mutated; errors[] carries the current state, revision and version, so re-apply your change on top and resubmit with the new parent_revision (retry, bounded to ~3). born_stale: the redraft was built against an older rule high-water; re-read the rules and resubmit, or restamp_review if nothing genuinely changed (at most one retry per high-water). wrong_state: this VERB is illegal from the current state but the draft is still live; NEVER retry the same verb; errors[] repeats an allowed_action entry per verb that IS legal right now. terminal: the review is already sent/auto_sent/cancelled; nothing will ever succeed, stop retrying, and a front_run_next review event carries the outcome. send_needs_reconciliation: a prior attempt is unconfirmed and parked for recover-by-Message-ID; do NOT resend, poll the review.

The CLOSED machine code. The Review Loop members split what used to be a single opaque conflict, because an agent must take a DIFFERENT action on each: stale (the revision/version you named is no longer current; nothing was mutated; re-read, re-apply, resubmit; retryable, bounded) and born_stale (built against an older rule high-water; re-read the rules or restamp_review; at most one retry per high-water) are the ONLY retryable 409s. wrong_state means this VERB is illegal from the current state while the draft is still live; never retry the same verb, read the state and the repeated allowed_action hints in errors[] and pick a legal one. terminal means the review is already sent/auto_sent/cancelled and nothing will EVER succeed; stop, and drain your review events for the outcome. send_needs_reconciliation means a prior send is unconfirmed and parked. Do not resend. Poll instead. unavailable (503) is the retryable fail-closed answer when a dependency could not be read; it carries Retry-After and is distinct from not_configured, which is permanent for this deployment.
