Notes

A draft id (draft_…) is published as a NEW live squad; a real UUID is patched in place.
model/voice/transcriber engine selection (provider/model/voiceId values) is platform-managed — the values shown are illustrative placeholders, not an exhaustive allow-list.
coreData mirrors the live voice platform's own squad object; only its id is guaranteed to appear — the rest of its shape is internal and not part of the documented contract (see Overview).
