  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

A flat, money-free projection of the org’s categories for pickers (KAN-770). Budgeted envelopes are grouped under their sections; every other category — including transfer-kind rows and the terminal Uncategorized fallback — is listed under other. Carries no amounts and runs no budget computation. month is accepted for cache-key compatibility and does not vary the result.

403

Authenticated, but the tenant gate refuses the request until the caller resolves a precondition. errorCode is one of EMAIL_NOT_VERIFIED, POLICY_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED, or SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED, evaluated in exactly that order (contract term CCR-1: email verification first, then policy acceptance, then subscription — so a subscriber who has merely not re-accepted the current policies always sees POLICY_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED). A POLICY_ACCEPTANCE_REQUIRED body additionally carries details.outstanding (the policy versions still to accept) and details.firstAcceptance. The SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED arm is INERT unless the server-side BILLING_ENABLED flag is exactly the string true; while it is off, only the first two codes are reachable. Not retryable as sent — resolve the named condition, then resend.

Which precondition refused the request. Evaluated in this order (CCR-1); SUBSCRIPTION_REQUIRED is unreachable while BILLING_ENABLED is not exactly true.

503

Service temporarily unavailable — errorCode is SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE. A TRANSIENT, RETRYABLE condition rather than a defect in the request: a query that exceeded its time budget, a lost or refused database connection, a saturated connection pool, or an outage at an upstream provider the request depends on (the authentication provider, or the bank data provider on a bank-connection operation). The identical request may succeed on retry — back off briefly and, on a write, resend the same X-Idempotency-Key where the operation accepts one.
