Change one tab of a live whiteboard

Typed edit operations (as edit_diagram takes them) against the version read, rebased on the current source when others changed it since, or a whole new source against the current version; exactly one of operations and source.

POST/v1/boards/{board}/tabs/{tab}/edits

TL;DR

QuestionAnswer
What does it do?Change one tab of a live whiteboard.
What does it take?A JSON body of type AgentEditBoardTabBody.
What does it return?Status 200 with a body of type AgentBoardWriteResult.
What can go wrong?400 the body is not valid; 401 the API key is missing or not valid; 403 the account's plan does not include the REST API (plan.rest_not_included), the key is a person's own or a person's own agent (boards.org_key_required), a trusted publisher (boards.publisher_not_allowed), an organisation key without the boards scope (key.scope_missing), boards are not on for the organisation (boards.not_enabled), or the caller may look but not change the board (boards.forbidden); 404 no such board or tab, or the board is not open to the caller: the cases look alike; 409 the tab changed since baseVersion and the edit no longer applies (diagram.version_conflict, with details.currentVersion and each operation's result), the board has as many tabs as it may (boards.tab_limit), or the organisation is on legal hold; 413 the source is longer than a tab may be (boards.source_too_long), or the board holds as much as it may (boards.storage_full); 422 the result has errors (diagram.invalid, the diagnostics in details), an edit did not apply to the current version (boards.operation_failed, details.results), or it holds something that looks like a secret and the organisation blocks them (boards.secret_blocked); 429 too many requests, or a daily limit is spent; 503 live whiteboards are not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope.

What it does

Typed edit operations (as edit_diagram takes them) against the version read, rebased on the current source when others changed it since, or a whole new source against the current version; exactly one of operations and source. The organisation's secret scanning, legal hold and audit apply. Every screen on the board shows the change live, labelled with the agent and its member. The REST twin of edit_board_tab.
