Promote a rule between the category and general/house-style layers
POST /v1/rules/{id}/promote
Move a rule between the category and general/house-style layers via a supersession (a new rev with the changed scope). Writes a supersede audit row and re-checks affected in-flight drafts. Promoting to category requires the rule to already carry a category.

A learned writing rule (rule_…) in the Review Loop (D2/D11). House-style/ general (scope=‘general’, applies across all categories) or category-scoped. Append-only by supersession: an edit is a new rev (same lineage_id) with the prior flipped to superseded. Read by the agent at compose/redraft time via the ordered get_rules ladder; we never apply it. Opaque ids only (D10).
object
Opaque rule id (rule_…).
Ownership layer (org/project model). org = house-style inherited by every project in the org; project = layered on top (the agent-plane default). Project/per-agent rules outrank broader org rules in the ordered get_rules ladder.
The org this rule belongs to.
The project this rule belongs to; empty for an org-layer rule.
Stable lineage handle across versions (rln_…).
General = house-style (D2).
Set iff scope=category (cat_…).
Set for a per-agent override; empty = all org agents.
Hard = non-overridable.
The prior rev this row superseded (rule_…).

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 stale: the revision/version you named is no longer current (a human moved the draft) and NOTHING was mutated; errors[] carries the current state, revision and version, so re-apply your change on top and resubmit with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.
