APTSVC (airport services: meet and assist, porter, buggy, wheelchair, concierge bundles) is registered by this release beside FASTTRK. FNB (dining: restaurant reservations; aliases REST, DINING, RESTAURANT, RESTAURANTS; category DO, money model FREE, artifact CONF_NUMBER, served under the dining service key with base path /v1/dining) is registered since v1.7.0. GIFT (gift cards; category SUPPORT, money model MERCHANT, artifact VOUCHER, served under the gift-cards service key with base path /v1/gift-cards) is described from v1.31.0: until the backend seam change merges, domain GIFT answers 400 UNKNOWN_DOMAIN. AICONT (the Example Content experience-scraping service's operations; category DO, money model MERCHANT, artifact NONE, served under the aicont service key with base path /v1/aicont; a content supplier) has its typed intent from v1.39.0; it answers only where its supplier set is landed and ACTIVE. PARK (airport and cruise-port parking; aliases PRK and PARKING; category SUPPORT, money model MERCHANT, artifact CONF_NUMBER — the supplier's gate barcode is the order's BARCODE document — served under the parking service key with base path /v1/parking) has its typed intent and its verb book from v1.55.0.

Follow-up sends are deduplicated on the Idempotency-Key in the home region.

Retryable after retryAfterMs (mirrored by Retry-After); nextAction slow_down; details carry limit, windowSeconds and the dimension in details.field.
