Bind the token to exactly this node_name. Absent = any new node_name (re-enrolling an existing host needs a bound token, amendment 20); empty string is 400 (it would silently mint an any-node token).
Absent = one hour from mint. Must be in the future and at most 30 days out.

POST /v1/admin/hosts/enrollments 201 body’s enrollment — the plaintext token, ONCE. The admin UI composes the one-paste enrollment string (qenr1.<FINGERPRINT>.<base64url(wss-url)>.<token>) from this plus the page origin and the certificate fingerprint from /v1/admin/access-check; the server never composes it, because it does not know its own reachable address.

Present on restart_required.
Steam library discovery Phase 3, ADDITIVE: present on home_in_use when the guard could name the CONFLICTING live session - the one already holding the home. It is here so the client can offer “go to your running session” with a link instead of a dead-end toast. OMITTED rather than empty when the conflict is known but the session is not, so a client branches on presence and never renders a link to nowhere. Also omitted when the holder is the caller’s parked session or released runtime (amendment 39). Load-bearing once derived tiles exist: the lock is held by the PARENT’s home, so a user who clicks a game tile can be refused because a DIFFERENT app (the Steam launcher, or another game from the same install) is running, and without the session id the refusal reads as a bug. See control-api.md §Derived tiles.
Steam library discovery Phase 3, ADDITIVE: present on the 409 conflict from DELETE /v1/apps/{id} when the app has derived tiles and ?delete_derived=true was not sent. A LIST, not a count - the point of the confirmation is that the admin sees what they are about to destroy. Capped; an empty array means the tiles could not be listed, never that there are none.

Amendment 40 (#602), ADDITIVE: a machine-readable cause under code. On 503 no_host_available, home_host_unavailable: the launch is pinned to the host that holds the caller’s home for this app (Amendment 53: or it is pinned to the host of the caller’s Steam home for a sharing launch) and that host is offline or no longer enrolled. Only an admin clears it, so a client does not spend its automatic retry on it. Names no host. Amendment 53 (#1001), on 409 home_in_use: steam_library_open_in_desktop (the holder mounts the Steam library as a shared home) or steam_game_running (the refused launch shares the library and a Steam session holds it); absent when the holder is already stopping.
