The whole batch is validated synchronously — either every row is accepted (202 with a job to poll) or nothing is (422 with every problem, aggregated by error class). Execution is per-row from there: one row failing never rejects the others. Imports are create-once per `externalCreditId`: re-importing the same id returns the originally imported credit untouched, reported as `alreadyImported`. Send an `Idempotency-Key` header to make the submission replayable: retrying the same key and body returns the original job; reusing a key with a different body is rejected (409). This endpoint is restricted and not generally available: organizations that have not been enabled receive a `403`.
