Specter forwards your resolution to the fraud backends that participated in the original decision. Only `REVIEW` decisions can be resolved, and each decision can be resolved once — resolving an already-resolved decision returns `409 CONFLICT`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /products/specter/openapi.yaml post /api/decisions/{id}/resolve openapi: 3.1.0 info: contact: email: hello@starfish.team name: Starfish GmbH & Co.
