POST/break-glass-sessions/{id}/endbreakGlassSessions.end
Ends the caller's own open break-glass session before its hour is up, through `app.end_break_glass`. Another person's session is refused with 403; one that already ended with 422. Requires `Idempotency-Key`; a replay returns the original response. A rule that refuses the request returns 422 with `refusal` and `reason`.
- Requires the capability org.break_glass.use.
- OAuth scopes: org.
- Send an Idempotency-Key header. A replay with the same key returns the original response.
- Error statuses: 400, 401, 404, 409, 422, 429. Errors are RFC 9457 problem details.
