DELETE
/workspaces/{wsp}
curl --request DELETE \
--url https://api.builders.ac/api/provisioning/v1alpha1/workspaces/wsp_01k5n2rf8bd3xa9e7m4jt6vq5h \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'

Empty workspaces only. A workspace with resources returns workspace_not_empty; the default workspace returns workspace_is_default. A proof is consumed before these guards, so a refusal also spends it. This DELETE takes no Idempotency-Key. Proof is obtained on demand: first send this exact request without Sealed-Proof, open the Sealed-Nonce from the 403 response, then retry without changing the request.

wsp
required
string
>= 30 characters <= 30 characters /^[wW][sS][pP]_[0-7][0-9a-hjkmnp-tv-zA-HJKMNP-TV-Z]{25}$/

Workspace TypeIDs are accepted case-insensitively. Responses use canonical lowercase.

Sealed-Proof
string
>= 43 characters <= 43 characters /^[A-Za-z0-9_-]{43}$/

The one-time plaintext obtained by opening the Sealed-Nonce challenge for this exact request. Omit it initially; after a 403 challenge, retry with the same method, route, resources, query, body, credential, and Idempotency-Key.

Workspace deleted; its external_id is released

x-correlation-id
string

The id of this request, echoed on every response and repeated in the correlation_id member of a problem body. Quote it in support requests.

Authentication required. The example shows authentication_required; this status is also answered with invalid_api_key. Branch on code, not on the status.

Either permission is absent, or API-secret proof is missing or invalid. A proof challenge carries a request-bound Sealed-Nonce and WWW-Authenticate; open it and retry this exact request.

Sealed-Nonce
string
/^age-v1\.[A-Za-z0-9_-]+$/

A credential- and request-bound, single-use age v1 challenge. Strip age-v1., Base64URL-decode the remaining text to the binary age file, then open it with the matching API Secret.

Cache-Control
string
Allowed value: private, no-store

Proof challenges are never cached.

WWW-Authenticate
string

Present as Sealed error="insufficient_proof" only for a proof challenge.
