        Optional client-supplied key for safely retrying mutations. Subsequent
        calls within 24 hours that share this key replay the original response —
        even if the request body differs slightly (a warning is logged). A retry
        that arrives while the original is still in flight gets a 409
        `request_in_progress`. Keys must be 1–255 characters from
        `[A-Za-z0-9_:.-]`; a UUID is a safe default. Scope is per-endpoint and
        per-resource: the same key on a different route or path parameter is
        independent.
