If execution does not finish in time: 408 Request Timeout with the submission ID so you can poll.

Idempotency

Send an Idempotency-Key header (UUID) to avoid duplicate submissions:

Idempotency-Key: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

If a submission with that key already exists, the existing record is returned with 202. Idempotency keys are essential for reliable integrations - network retries should not re-execute the same code.

Errors

Status	Meaning
400	Invalid language, code too large, missing webhook_secret
401	Missing or invalid API key
429	Rate limit exceeded
503	Queue full - bounded capacity, deliberate backpressure
