summary: Leap publishes a numeric validation-code registry for market bid and ask submissions. These are
  Leap's own application-level validation codes returned in the error body alongside an HTTP 4xx — they
  are NOT HTTP status codes, despite reusing values in the 400-430 range. A successful bid submission
  returns HTTP 202; a failed one returns a 4xx with one of the codes below and detail in the message body.
