Get a URL to upload a print file to
const url = 'https://api.partners.collaterate.com/v1/orders/1/items/1/artwork/upload-url';const options = { method: 'POST', headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer <token>', 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}, body: '{"fileName":"flyer-front.pdf","contentType":"application/pdf"}'};
try { const response = await fetch(url, options); const data = await response.json(); console.log(data);} catch (error) { console.error(error);}curl --request POST \ --url https://api.partners.collaterate.com/v1/orders/1/items/1/artwork/upload-url \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "fileName": "flyer-front.pdf", "contentType": "application/pdf" }'Step one of two. Reserves a slot for one print file on this line and returns a URL you
PUT the bytes to. We never receive your file - it goes straight from you to
Collaterate’s storage, so there is no request-size limit and no upload timeout to work
around.
expiresAt is about one minute away. Read that again.
The URL is signed and short-lived. Call this endpoint at the moment you are ready to
upload, not in a batch ahead of time: a URL fetched and used sixty seconds later will be
rejected by storage, not by us, so you will see a 403 from a hostname that is not ours.
If that happens, call this again for a fresh URL and reservation - nothing is wasted, and
an unused reservation is simply never filled.
Treat uploadUrl as a credential
Anyone holding it can write one object into Collaterate’s storage until it expires. Do not
log it, do not put it in a bug report, do not persist it. The response is sent
Cache-Control: no-store for the same reason.
contentType is optional, and it binds the upload
Send one and it becomes part of the URL’s signature: your PUT must then carry exactly
that Content-Type header or storage refuses it. Omit it and the upload URL is not bound
to a type, and your PUT may send whatever it likes. Either way it is not stored against
the file; it only affects the upload.
The whole flow
POST .../artwork/upload-url {"fileName": "flyer-front.pdf"}
-> {"uploadUrl": "...", "reservationName": "flyer-front-20260808...pdf", ...}
PUT <uploadUrl> <the file's bytes>
POST .../artwork {"reservationName": "flyer-front-20260808...pdf"}
-> the attached file
A line may carry several files - two-sided artwork, a data file alongside the art, a revision next to what it supersedes - so repeat the three steps per file. Attaching a second file does not replace the first.
Authorizations
Section titled “Authorizations”Parameters
Section titled “Parameters”Path Parameters
Section titled “Path Parameters”The line’s itemNumber, from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items.
Request Bodyrequired
Section titled “Request Bodyrequired”What you are about to upload, for POST .../artwork/upload-url.
object
Your name for the file, e.g. flyer-front.pdf. A file NAME, not a path: slashes and
control characters are refused. Collaterate makes it URL-safe and appends a timestamp
to produce the reservationName, so the stored name will not be byte-identical to
what you send.
Optional media type, e.g. application/pdf. If you send one it becomes part of the
upload URL’s signature and your PUT must carry exactly that Content-Type header.
Omit it to leave the URL unbound to a type. Either way it is not stored against the
file.
Example
{ "fileName": "flyer-front.pdf", "contentType": "application/pdf"}Responses
Section titled “Responses”The reservation was created. Upload the bytes now.
A one-use, short-lived permission to upload one file, from POST .../artwork/upload-url.
uploadUrl is a credential. Do not log it, store it, or share it - anyone holding it
can write one object into Collaterate’s storage until it expires.
object
Collaterate’s name for this reservation. Send it back as reservationName on
POST .../artwork once the upload has finished. Single-use.
The signed URL to PUT the file’s bytes to. Nothing else is required on the request.
Always PUT, stated so an integration reads the verb rather than assuming it. A
POST to this URL will not work.
The Content-Type your PUT must send, or null if you omitted one and the upload
is not bound to a type. Echoes what you sent.
When uploadUrl stops working - about one minute after the response. Read from
the URL’s own signature rather than assumed, so it is the real deadline. null only
if the URL’s signature could not be read, in which case assume one minute anyway.
Examples
{ "orderNumber": 1000234, "itemNumber": 884213, "reservationName": "flyer-front-20260808T121500123.pdf", "uploadUrl": "https://s3.amazonaws.com/collaterate/staged_files/flyer-front-20260808T121500123.pdf?X-Amz-Algorithm=...", "uploadMethod": "PUT", "contentType": "application/pdf", "expiresAt": "2026-08-08T12:16:00.000Z"}The path parameters are malformed, the body is not a JSON object, it carries an
unknown key, fileName is missing/empty/over 255 characters or contains a slash or
control character, contentType is not a media type, or Collaterate rejected the
reservation.
RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable,
machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a
human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.
This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below,
and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares
the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and
not the other fails the build rather than shipping.
Published code values:
code |
HTTP status | Meaning | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
invalid_cursor |
400 | The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. |
No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value. |
invalid_site_id |
400 | The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. |
No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds. |
invalid_order_number |
400 | The order number in the path is not a positive integer. | No – fix the path. |
invalid_product_id |
400 | The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_service_type |
400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |
No. |
submission_not_found |
404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.
object
Always the literal string about:blank today; reserved by RFC 9457 for future use.
Short, human-readable summary of the HTTP status (e.g. “Not Found”).
The HTTP status code, repeated in the body for convenience.
Stable, machine-readable error identifier. Safe to branch on. See the table above.
Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.
Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.
Example
{ "type": "about:blank", "title": "Bad Request", "status": 400, "code": "invalid_request", "detail": "\"fileName\" must be a file name, not a path: it may not contain slashes or control characters.", "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."}Missing, expired, or otherwise invalid credential. Not retryable as-is.
Produced by the API gateway’s authorizer, before the request reaches any application
code, so every cause – no Authorization header, a malformed one, a token that is
expired, wrongly signed, from the wrong pool, or belongs to a credential that has been
disabled – yields this identical response. The gateway is configured to answer in the
same application/problem+json shape as everything else, so you do not need a second
parser for this status; what it cannot do is tell you which of those causes applied.

Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.

Published code values:
code |
HTTP status | Meaning | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
invalid_cursor |
400 | The cursor query parameter could not be decoded. |
No – restart pagination with no cursor. Do not resend the same value. |
invalid_site_id |
400 | The siteId filter is not a positive integer, or it names a site outside your grant. detail says which. |
No – fix the parameter against GET /v1/me’s grantedSiteIds. |
invalid_order_number |
400 | The order number in the path is not a positive integer. | No – fix the path. |
invalid_product_id |
400 | The productId path segment on GET /v1/products/{productId} does not match the SLO_/SLS_-prefixed shape. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_service_type |
400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |
No. |
submission_not_found |
404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |

400 | GET /v1/products’s serviceType filter is not one of the values this API can order (STOCK or POD). |
No – fix the parameter. |
updated_since_not_supported |
400 | An updatedSince parameter was sent. Rejected rather than ignored, on purpose – see “No updatedSince / no change polling” above. |
No – remove the parameter; there is no change-polling mechanism to switch to. |
invalid_request |
400 | POST /v1/orders’s request body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or malformed field, an unknown key, or a body-level rule such as partnerLineId uniqueness or a misplaced shipTo – or GET /v1/orders/submissions’s status/limit filter is malformed. detail names the exact violation. |
No – fix the request. |
invalid_submission_id |
400 | The submissionId path segment on GET /v1/orders/submissions/{submissionId} is not a well-formed UUID. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_quantity |
400 | The quantity on POST /v1/products/{productId}/quote is missing or not a positive integer. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_shipping_quote_request |
400 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s body failed validation – malformed JSON, a missing or mistyped field, an unknown key at the top level or inside shipTo, or a weightOunces outside 0 < w <= 5000000. detail names the field. |
No – fix the request body. |
invalid_item_number |
400 | The itemNumber path segment on a proof route is not a positive integer. It is the line’s itemNumber from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items, never a Collaterate internal id. |
No – fix the path. |
invalid_token |
401 | The credential is missing, expired, or invalid. | No – mint a new token, retry once, then investigate the credential. |
insufficient_scope |
403 | The token lacks the scope required for this operation. | No – mint a token with the required scope. |
order_not_found |
404 | No such order, or one that exists outside your granted sites (see above). | No. |
order_item_not_found |
404 | No line matching (orderNumber, itemNumber) resolves for you – absent, outside your granted sites, or hidden from the customer, identically. |
No. |
product_not_found |
404 | No such product, or one that exists but belongs to a site outside your granted sites (same rule as order_not_found). |
No. |
quote_product_not_found |
404 | The product resolved in our own catalog but Collaterate could not price it. Rare. | No. |
template_not_found |
404 | GET /v1/products/{productId}/template found no Chili template for this product – not TEMPLATE-classified, TEMPLATE-classified with a legacy EDOC/CANVA vendor, or Chili-templated with no document configured. All three identically. |
No. |
submission_not_found |
404 | No submission exists with this id for your credential – whether it never existed or belongs to another partner, identically. | No. |
ordering_not_provisioned |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s siteId has no ordering user configured. This is set up per (partner, site) by staff at onboarding; a partner cannot provision it themselves. |
No – ask Partner Integrations to provision an ordering user for the site, then retry. |
partner_order_id_reused |
409 | POST /v1/orders’s partnerOrderId was already used, with a request body that does not match this one. Resending the identical body under the same partnerOrderId is safe and returns the original submission (see the operation description); reusing it for a materially different order is rejected instead of silently creating a second order. |
No – use a new partnerOrderId, or resend the exact original body to poll the existing submission. |
proof_not_pending_review |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a line whose proofStatus is not PENDING_REVIEW – no proof yet, already decided, or a state this API does not recognise. detail says which. On a RETRY of a decision that already succeeded, this is the expected answer and means success. |
No – read the line’s current proofStatus from GET /v1/orders/{orderNumber}/items. |
order_item_cancelled |
409 | A proof approve or decline was sent for a cancelled line. It will never be produced, so its proof cannot be decided. | No. |
quote_invalid |
422 | Collaterate rejected the quote on business-validation grounds (e.g. quantity over the product’s configured maximum). detail carries Collaterate’s own validation message. |
No – fix the request body (e.g. reduce quantity). |
unknown_country_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.country is not a country code Collaterate recognises. |
No – send a code Collaterate carries (US, CA, MX, …). |
unknown_state_code |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote’s shipTo.state is not a state or province of the country you sent. State codes are resolved WITHIN the country, since they are not unique across countries. |
No – fix the state, or the country it belongs to. |
shipping_quote_unavailable |
422 | POST /v1/shipping/quote produced no priced service at all for that destination and weight. detail carries Collaterate’s own reasons when it gave any – an invalid postal code for the country is the common one – and says so plainly when it did not. |
No – fix the destination. An empty result is never returned as a 200. |
denial_reason_not_available |
422 | POST .../proof/decline’s reason is well-formed but is not a denial reason this line’s proof offers – including a code that is valid on a different line, and UNKNOWN, which never is. detail lists what is valid here. |
No – pick a code from GET .../proof/denial-reasons for this line. |
rate_limit_exceeded |
429 | Rate limit or daily quota exceeded. | Yes – honor Retry-After. |
internal_error |
500 | Unexpected server-side failure. Detail is always the fixed string below, never the underlying error. | No, or with caution – if persistent, contact Partner Integrations. |
service_unavailable |
503 | Transient failure – typically the database path, but also a Lambda that crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit before any handler ran. | Yes, with backoff. |
Three statuses are answered by the API gateway before your request reaches application
code: 401 (authorizer denial), 429 (usage-plan throttle), and 503 (the Lambda
integration itself failed). All three are configured to return this same document with
the codes above, so one parser and one branch on code covers every error this API
produces. The 403 on GET /v1/ping is the sole exception anywhere in the API – it
comes from the edge firewall, which is not ours to shape, and carries no problem
document.

Always the literal string about:blank today; reserved by RFC 9457 for future use.
Short, human-readable summary of the HTTP status (e.g. “Not Found”).
The HTTP status code, repeated in the body for convenience.
Stable, machine-readable error identifier. Safe to branch on. See the table above.
Human-readable explanation. Do not parse this – it may be reworded without notice.
Echoes the request’s id. Include this when contacting Partner Integrations about a specific failed call – it resolves directly to one log entry.
Example
{ "type": "about:blank", "title": "Internal Server Error", "status": 500, "code": "internal_error", "detail": "An unexpected error occurred.", "requestId": "8f3c1e2a-..."}Transient failure in the service or the database it reads from (for example, the Aurora reader could not be reached in time), or the request never reached application code at all because the Lambda behind it crashed, timed out, or hit its own concurrency limit. Retryable, with backoff.
RFC 9457 application/problem+json body. code is the published, stable,
machine-readable field to branch your integration logic on – detail is a
human-readable string that may be reworded over time and must not be parsed.
This table is the whole published set: every code this API can return appears below,
and nothing below is unreachable. test/docs/openapi-matches-reality.test.ts compares
the enum to the codes the handlers actually construct, so a code added to one side and
not the other fails the build rather than shipping.
