    IdempotencyKeyRequired:
      in: header
      name: Idempotency-Key
      required: true
      description: >-
        Required: a call without it is refused with `400`. A key of your own
        that names this one request; a UUID is ideal. It is 8 to 50 characters
        of letters, digits, `-` and `_`. Send the same key again when you retry
        (after a timeout, a dropped connection or a `5xx`) and the call is
        carried out once: the retry gets the first answer back, marked
        `X-Idempotency-Cached: true`. The same key with a different body is
        refused with `422`, and a retry that arrives while the first call is
        still running with `409` (see `Retry-After`).
      schema:
        type: string
        minLength: 8

        pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]{8,50}$

    ManagedUserScopeId:
      in: header
      name: X-Managed-User-Id
      required: false
      description: >-
        The id Widgetic gave the managed user (`POST /managed-users`). Makes
        this call for one of your managed users, so that a mistake in your own
        code cannot reach another customer's work. Send this header, or the
        other one, never both. Left out, the call works on your whole account,
        as it always has. With it, the call reaches only that user's
        compositions and workflows: a list shows only theirs, a composition or a
        workflow the call makes is filed under them, and one of another user, or
        one that does not exist, answers `404` (the same answer, so the call
        cannot be used to find out what another customer has). A managed user
        that is not yours answers `404` with `MANAGED_USER_NOT_FOUND`. An empty,
        repeated or malformed header is `400` with `MANAGED_USER_SCOPE_INVALID`;
        an empty header is never read as no header. A call that is about the
        whole account, such as the list of your managed users, is refused with
        `403` and `MANAGED_USER_SCOPE_ROUTE_NOT_AVAILABLE`: send it without the
        header. Only your API key can send it. The header is a limit the call
        asks for: whoever holds the key can leave it out, so for a credential
        that a customer's browser holds, use an editor session. An
        `Idempotency-Key` is kept apart for each managed user.
      schema:
        type: string

        example: 3f2b8c1e-7a4d-4e0b-9c55-2d1a6b7e8f90
    ManagedUserScopeExternalId:
      in: header
      name: X-Managed-User-External-Id
      required: false
      description: >-
        Your own id for the managed user (its `externalId`), when you do not
        keep Widgetic's. Makes this call for one of your managed users, so that
        a mistake in your own code cannot reach another customer's work. Send
        this header, or the other one, never both. Left out, the call works on
        your whole account, as it always has. With it, the call reaches only
        that user's compositions and workflows: a list shows only theirs, a
        composition or a workflow the call makes is filed under them, and one of
        another user, or one that does not exist, answers `404` (the same
        answer, so the call cannot be used to find out what another customer
        has). A managed user that is not yours answers `404` with
        `MANAGED_USER_NOT_FOUND`. An empty, repeated or malformed header is
        `400` with `MANAGED_USER_SCOPE_INVALID`; an empty header is never read
        as no header. A call that is about the whole account, such as the list
        of your managed users, is refused with `403` and

        Only your API key can send it. The header is a limit the call asks for:
