POST/containers/{containerId}/revoke
Operation containers.revoke
Description
Removes a grant from a container through a signed container.revoke event and rotates the container KEK so the removed principal cannot read later content. The request carries the new KEK epoch, its predecessor bridge, and the re-sealed container KEK keyring. Requires admin access; stale cited heads return 409.
Authentication
Requires a signed-in session: the client sends its session token as a bearer token in the Authorization header.
