The hold is an INTENT to reserve stock — the actual stock decrement lives in inventory/checkout, never here. Created in the `held` state; the actor and held-at instant are stamped server-side. 409s on a duplicate id; 422s when `holdUntil` is not in the future. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json post /v1/reservations openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Solya POS API version: 1.0.0 description: >- The Solya POS backend HTTP surface.
