too_many_violations

HTTP 429

An abuse counter, NOT a rate limit. It fires when an account repeatedly trips protective checks such as contact_leak or prompt_injection. Backing off and retrying does not clear it - stop emitting whatever tripped it.

Response shape

  "title": "<short human-readable summary>",
  "status": 429,
  "detail": "<what happened on this occurrence>",
  "reason": "too_many_violations"
}

Branch on reason. The title is prose and may be reworded; reason is the stable contract.
