• Production

Cancels one booking, addressed by its obligation_ref, and enqueues the refund for the ledger to settle asynchronously — the refund is not settled inline. The durable effect is one transaction: the booking’s status flips to cancelled, its capacity is released, and a cancellation.requested event is enqueued. Idempotent: a cancellation moves money, so an Idempotency-Key is required (400 without one) and a retry with the same key is a no-op. This slice issues a full refund for both reasons; the customer-initiated time-to-departure partial schedule arrives later. Fail-closed: 503 when no backend is wired.

Parameters

Header Parameters

x-tenant-id

required

string format: uuid

Tenant identifier (UUID).

Authn/authz semantics are intentionally TBD for this contract slice; this header exists to keep the contract explicitly multi-tenant from day 0.

Request Body^required

Media typeapplication/json

object

obligation_ref

required

The booking/obligation being cancelled.

string format: uuid

Why it is being cancelled. Reason-coded because it governs financial treatment over the cancellation arc (an operator trip cancellation is always a full refund).

string

Allowed values: operator_trip_cancelled customer_initiated

effective_date

required

Business/effective date of the cancellation, for period close.
