Category
object type
A category — ONE recursive construct for the whole navigation spectrum (3 flat categories or a 6-level hierarchy; no fixed Department/Subcategory types). inactive = hidden from navigation, still reportable.
Fields

sysId | String String! | The group-scoped human-facing system id (CT-…). |
type | String String! | The kind of record — always Category here. |
caption | String String! | The record’s display name — what people see it called. |
status | String String! | The FSM state: active | inactive | doomed. |
parentId | ID ID! | The parent org group; for a Category parentId === rootId. |

createdAt | String String! | When the record was created, as a UTC timestamp. |
updatedAt | String String! | When the record last changed, as a UTC timestamp. |
revisionNum | Int Int! | How many times this record has been edited; the first save is 0. |
revision | ID ID! | The OCC revision token — supply it on every mutation of this record; rotates on every write. |
