 tickets: a reply is written by the key's acting employee unless you name
 `author_employee_code` (which needs `tickets:send_as`).
 
 Email text is cleaned before printing (never raw HTML); `max_chars` cuts long bodies. Files carry ids (`clokio_download_ticket_attachment`). `clokio_create_reply_draft` (needs `tickets:write`) saves a draft a person sends from Clokio with "Use this draft": prefer it when your organisation reviews customer messages first. On a resolved or spam ticket the draft is saved with a warning (it is out of the open queue); the ticket is never reopened by it. `clokio_delete_reply_draft` (needs `tickets:write`) deletes one of your own drafts that nobody has used.
 
+`clokio_create_ticket` (needs the Clokio backend with the 0.25 API) opens a NEW ticket and sends its first message, as "New email" / "New WhatsApp message" on the Tickets screen: an email (`inbox_id`, `to`, optional `cc` / `bcc`, `subject`, Markdown `body`) or an approved WhatsApp template to one number (`clokio_list_whatsapp_templates` lists a number's templates with the slots each takes, and marks those the API cannot send). It needs `tickets:write` plus `tickets:send` to send; `draft: true` sends nothing and leaves a pending draft a person sends from Clokio with "Use this draft" (`tickets:write` only). Writing to someone no contact you can see holds needs the acting employee's `tickets.manage`, and a key opens at most 10 tickets per 10 minutes (successful creates only; a replay is answered past the limit). On an email draft ticket, the first reply without recipients goes to the drafted recipients with the drafted subject, and the draft then reads "used". Each call sends an `Idempotency-Key` (fresh, or the one you pass to retry); a replay says so and sends nothing. `clokio_create_ticket_label` and `clokio_create_contact` (both need `tickets.manage`) add a label or a contact; a contact whose address or number a contact you can see already holds is a 409 naming that contact. `clokio_list_tickets` takes `label_ids`, `created_after` / `created_before`, `needs_reply` and `sort` (pass the same `sort` with a cursor).
+
+A replayed idempotent write (a reply, a task from a ticket, a new ticket) says it was replayed and that nothing new was made. The ticket API names a missing project ("That project is not available.") and a missing draft ("This draft no longer exists."); those come back as they are, and only a plain "Not found." adds that an older server is one possible cause.
+
 `clokio_create_task_from_ticket` opens a task linked to the ticket, as the ticket screen's "Task" button does, and copies the ticket files you name into it (a file tasks refuse is listed in `skipped_files`). It needs BOTH `tickets:write` and `tasks:write`, and the acting employee's own right to create tasks in that project. Each call sends an `Idempotency-Key` (a fresh one, returned in the answer, or the one you pass to retry). `clokio_list_ticket_tasks` (needs `tickets:read` and `tasks:read`) lists the tasks opened from a ticket, and `clokio_get_task` names the ticket a task came from (`linked_ticket`).
 
 **Reports** (needs the Clokio backend with the ticket reports API): `clokio_ticket_report_overview`, `_agents`, `_satisfaction`, `_satisfaction_ratings` and `_workload` answer the four Tickets > Reports tabs with the web's numbers. They take `from` / `to` (YYYY-MM-DD, the organisation's time zone, default the last 30 days, at most 366), `inbox_id`, `label` (an id or `none`) and, except the overview, `team_id`; the ratings list also takes `page` and `low`. The acting employee needs `tickets.reports` (403 otherwise), restricted channels they are not granted are not counted, AI answer quality is not part of the API, and agent availability appears only when they may open the Daily Attendance board. At most 30 report calls a minute per key. Rating comments, ticket titles and contact names are wrapped as untrusted content.
