What happened

Section titled “What happened”

A person tried to countersign or deny an approval that already has a final decision: someone else approved or denied it first, or it was cancelled. The first final decision wins under a row lock; nothing is decided twice.

What to do

Section titled “What to do”

Nothing to do. The message names the outcome, who decided and when; Console › Approvals has the full record and the deed.

Example

Section titled “Example”
HTTP 409 · approval_decided
{
  "error": {
    "type": "invalid_request_error",
    "code": "approval_decided",
    "message": "This approval was already decided: approved by Priya Raman at 10:14 IST.",
    "param": null,
    "request_id": "req_01j9zr3m5k8q2w7x4t6v0b1c9d",
    "doc_url": "https://docs.deedglass.com/errors/approval_decided"
  }
}

The message is for a person and can get more exact over time: branch on type and code, never on the message.
