    description: >
      Build, deliver, and evidence a Regulation E periodic statement for a
      customer's internal account. A statement period is a calendar month in US
      Central time (`America/Chicago`).


      A statement is issued for each customer's own USD internal account and
      covers their whole balance. Money received through a rule-based account
      appears on its owner's statement; rule-based, bulk settlement and
      platform-owned accounts have no statement of their own.


      **1. The statement — `GET
      /internal-accounts/{id}/balance-changes?startDate=&endDate=`**


      One row per change to the balance, in the order the money moved, with the
      opening and closing balances for the window in the same response. Page
      until `hasMore` is false, then assert this identity across every page
      before you render anything:


      ```

      openingBalance + Σ(data[].amount) == closingBalance

      ```


      If it does not hold, do not send the statement; contact support instead.
      `startDate` and `endDate` bound a half-open window `[startDate, endDate)`:
      for a monthly statement, pass the first instant of the month and the first
      instant of the following month, both in US Central time (for August 2026,
      `2026-08-01T00:00:00-05:00` and `2026-09-01T00:00:00-05:00`). Grid records
      a statement as fetched only for a window that is exactly one such month.


      **2. The receipt — `POST /internal-accounts/{id}/confirm-statement`**


      Once a month, after you have pulled and issued a period's statement, send
      a receipt with the `statementMonth` it covers. Grid stores it as the
      delivery record for that account and period. Sending it again is harmless:
      the first receipt's time is kept.


      **Timing**


      A window whose card settlement has not closed is refused with `409
      NOT_YET_AVAILABLE` rather than answered with figures that could still
      change; retry once it has settled.

  - name: Embedded Care
    description: |
      A support chat between the cardholder and Lightspark's care agent, driven
      from the partner's own app. The platform calls with its ordinary Grid
      credential, but the person typing is the cardholder rather than the
      caller, so reaching that cardholder's account takes a second proof: an
      SMS code they send into the chat, after which the partner carries a
      session token in the `X-Ls-Care-Session` header.

      **The surface is two routes, and verification happens inside the
      conversation.**

      1. **Open the chat.** `POST /care/chats/{chatId}/messages` with an empty
         `message`, addressed to the cardholder as `Customer:<uuid>`. Returns
         the chat's id and the agent's opening line in `reply`, which is what
         a chat window renders before anybody has typed. Sends no SMS, needs
         no `Idempotency-Key` and consumes none, and is safe to call again: a
         widget that reloaded gets the same chat back, this time without a
         `reply`.
      2. **Send the cardholder's first message.** The same route with their
         text and an `Idempotency-Key` header. One turn runs synchronously and
         the agent's answer comes back in `reply`. On a chat that cannot yet
         reach the account this call also texts the cardholder a code, and the
         agent's `reply` asks for it.
      3. **The cardholder sends the code as an ordinary message.** When it is
         correct, the response to that turn carries `sessionToken` and
         `expiresAt`. Send that token as the `X-Ls-Care-Session` header on
         every message from then on. A code that does not match is answered in
         `reply`, and the cardholder can simply send it again.
      4. **Close the chat** with `DELETE /care/chats/{chatId}` when the
         cardholder is done. Every response also carries `chatEnded`, and the
         agent can end the chat itself: when `chatEnded` is true, the closing
         line is in `reply` and the chat takes no further messages, so stop
         sending to it. An opening addressed to that `CareChat:<id>` answers
         `409 CARE_CHAT_ENDED`; address the cardholder as `Customer:<uuid>`
         to open a new chat.

      **Render `redactedCustomerMessage` if present, then `reply` if
      present.** That one rule covers an opening, a resume and a turn.

      **A cardholder whose code never arrived asks the agent for another
      one.** The agent sends a new code to the number on file and says so in
      its `reply`. There is no separate route for it.

      **The verification fields are optional hints.** `verificationRequired`
      and `codeLength` let an app show a dedicated one-time-code input of the
      right length, marked as a one-time code so iOS and Android offer to fill
      it from the SMS. A partner can ignore them, since the agent asks for the
      code in its reply and says where it went, and the app still sends the
      code as an ordinary message.

      Step 1 is optional. A message addressed to a `Customer:` id opens that
      cardholder's chat if they have none, so a partner whose cardholder has
      just typed something spends one call rather than two.

      A cardholder who has not verified yet is never a `401`, because the
      first message from every new cardholder is unverified and a `401` there
      would be indistinguishable from a bad credential. On these endpoints a
      `401` means the platform's Grid credential is wrong, the session token
      presented is malformed, or a replay lacks the session token its original
      request required.

      **Verification expires, and a lost session is recoverable in the
      chat.** A chat reaches the cardholder's account only while its
      verification is newer than the session lifetime, fifteen minutes in the
      default deployment, which is also how long a session token lives. Past
      that window a message gets a fresh code, and the agent asks the
      cardholder to send it back inside the conversation, which hands the
      partner the next session token. A new message sent with no
      `X-Ls-Care-Session` header, or with a token past its expiry, on a chat
      whose verification is still current is treated the same way: the
      verification is cancelled before the turn runs, a new code is sent, and
      the agent asks for it. So a client that lost its token, or held one too
      long, simply keeps sending messages. Only a token that is malformed, or
      that was minted for another platform, chat or cardholder, is refused.

      Two things an integration has to get right:

      - **Render `redactedCustomerMessage`, never your own copy of what was
        typed.** Grid masks card numbers and other sensitive digit strings in
        it. A UI that renders its own copy of the input instead puts a card
        number the cardholder pasted back on their screen unmasked, and into
        your logs.
      - **The session token is returned once and is never re-readable.** No
        endpoint hands it back, it cannot be revoked, and it is short-lived by
        design. Hold it for the life of the cardholder's session. It arrives
        on the message response to the turn in which the cardholder sent their
        code, and on no other. Losing it costs the cardholder a new code, never
        access to the chat.

      Some things are absent by construction, so no integration can come to
      depend on them: nothing returns a transcript or an earlier turn's reply
      (retrying under the original `Idempotency-Key` is how an answer that was
      produced but not delivered is recovered; a replay requires the same
      session token its original request required and never carries a
      `sessionToken`, so a lost token is recovered by sending the cardholder's
      next message as a new message, which verifies them again), nothing sets
      a verification state, and nothing changes the number a code is sent to.

      Errors from these endpoints carry `code` and `reason` only (see the
      `CareError` schema), unlike the `Error4xx` schemas used elsewhere in this
      specification.
