What it does
Schedule a markdown plan — the price cuts will fire on their dates.
SCHEDULE a draft MarkdownPlan: (1) VALIDATE pure-reads — every step future · the scope resolves via the engine to ACTIVE products/variants × the plan's LF set → the InventoryItems THAT EXIST (ZERO resolved = VALIDATION/INVALID — a plan that moves nothing is an authoring error) · the ≤250-items/≤500-writes caps (VALIDATION/INVALID naming the figures) · per II: the schedule currency must EQUAL the plan currency (the law) · base₀ = the ACTIVE record covering step-1's startAt (none = VALIDATION/INVALID — a markdown MOVES an existing price) · the ladder (each PRIOR RESULT, half-away rounding) must stay > 0 · a forward splice check — ANY overlap refuses CONFLICT/PRICE_WINDOW_OVERLAP naming {II, blockers}, ALL-OR-NOTHING. (2) WRITE every future-dated SalePrice through the EXISTING per-record create (splice-gated, evented, plan/step-stamped; the FIRST window per II TRIMS the covering standing record). (3) FLIP draft→scheduled (OCC) stamping nextDueAt + resolvedInventoryItemIds. IDEMPOTENT-RESUME: a mid-flight fault refuses naming progress with the plan still draft — a re-run SKIPS its own already-written step-prefix and retries the flip. Requires the unrestricted capability + the record's CURRENT revision.
Careful
Scheduled markdowns change live prices when they fire.

Returns
MarkdownPlan MarkdownPlan! — A MarkdownPlan — the markdown CADENCE: a product scope (the grammar VERBATIM — predicate + inclusions/exclusions + a Collection ref) + ≤ 8 ordered effective-dated steps (percent_off ppm-EXCLUSIVE · amount_off · to_fixed; startAt strictly increasing; the LAST step MAY carry endAt = the clearance-LAPSE arm, absent = the standing far-future window). the write rule: the schedule transition pre-computes the whole price LADDER per targeted InventoryItem (base₀ = the record covering step-1's startAt, then each PRIOR RESULT — half-away rounding, every result > 0) and WRITES EVERY future-dated SalePrice up-front through the existing per-record create (splice-gated, evented, plan/step-stamped; the FIRST window per II TRIMS the covering standing record; caps: ≤ 250 items · ≤ 500 writes). The prices then move by dated-window resolution ALONE — the scheduler fires ONLY the plan's own status flips (scheduled→active at the first step's moment · active→completed after the last; a down sweeper delays ZERO price moves — the flips are observability). The live splice law PROTECTS the cadence (an external overlapping write refuses CONFLICT/PRICE_WINDOW_OVERLAP naming the plan's records). Cancel dooms the not-yet-effective plan-stamped records ONLY (effective windows are permanent price history; the step-1 trim is NOT restored). A markdown MOVES the step-1 base — promotions/loyalty/employee compose on top UNCHANGED. Update is DRAFT-only (amend-after-schedule = cancel + author anew). At most 32 OPEN (draft+scheduled+active) per org group. Org participation is the canned-pool selection (≤ 32; ABSENT = every org); logicalFacilityIds (≤ 32) RESTRICTS within the selected orgs' facilities (ABSENT = all of them). NOT searchable (the document non-joiner stance — this born-paginated list is the discovery read); NO UNIQ marker.
