`POST /orgs/{org}/hcp-terraform/run-task/rotate`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Make a new HMAC key for the HCP Terraform run task. |
| What does it take? | `org` in the path. |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type [`RunTaskWithKey`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#runtaskwithkey). |
| What can go wrong? | `401` not signed in; `403` the plan has no run task (plan.run_task_not_included), a member may not (orgs.forbidden), or the request came from an origin that may not make changes; `404` no such organisation, the caller is not a member of it, or the run task is off (run_task.not_found); `429` too many requests; `503` the server has no KEY_ENCRYPTION_SECRET, or the HMAC key can no longer be opened (run_task.unavailable); organisations are not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |

## What it does

The old key stops working at once, until HCP Terraform's run task is given the new one. The owner and an admin, on Pro and Enterprise.

## Response body

A 200 answer has the type [`RunTaskWithKey`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#runtaskwithkey).

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `active` | `boolean` | yes | Whether the owner's plan includes the run task (Pro and Enterprise). While it does not, each run is reported as passed with a sentence, and nothing is drawn. |
| `plan` | `"free" \| "pro" \| "enterprise"` | yes |  |
| `enabled` | `boolean` | yes | Whether the run task is on. |
| `endpoint` | `string \| null` | yes | The endpoint URL to give HCP Terraform, by the organisation id. Null on a server with no `API_URL`. |
| `keyLast4` | `string \| null` | yes | The HMAC key's last four characters, or null while the run task is off. |
| `failOnError` | `boolean` | yes | True when a run Plotwork cannot draw or keep is reported as failed. False (the default) reports it as passed, with a sentence. |
| `enabledAt` | `integer \| null` | yes | When it was turned on, in milliseconds since the epoch. |
| `enabledBy` | `object \| null` | yes | Who turned it on, or null when that account is gone. |
| `enabledBy.id` | `string` | yes |  |
| `enabledBy.email` | `string` | yes |  |
| `lastRunAt` | `integer \| null` | yes | When HCP Terraform last called it for a run, in milliseconds since the epoch, or null for never. |
| `lastStatus` | `"passed" \| "failed" \| null` | yes | The status sent back to the last run. |
| `hmacKey` | `string` | yes | The HMAC key to give HCP Terraform. Shown by this answer only; keep it out of logs and files. 64 hex characters. |
