Bootstrap My Organization

Lazily bootstrap the caller’s own organization, healing a missing row.

Additive, idempotent companion to the Clerk organization.created webhook. Deliberately exempt from the bootstrap-ready gate so a caller whose shared-namespace row was never created — local development with no inbound tunnel, or a production webhook outage — can drive its own provisioning by delegating to the same :meth:OrganizationBootstrapService.request_bootstrap the webhook uses. The row is created if absent and left untouched if present, so a webhook and this endpoint racing converge on one row.

When this call is what created the row, emits the distinct organization_bootstrap_self_healed event: in production that is the signal that the webhook pipeline is failing and sign-ups are being rescued by the fallback rather than the primary path.

The display name and slug are seeded from the organization ID as placeholders; a subsequent organization.updated webhook overwrites them with the real Clerk values once delivery recovers.

Returns: Public status envelope, identical in shape to GET /me/status, reporting the row’s status after the bootstrap request is queued.

Successful Response

Public bootstrap status payload for the authenticated organization.

Collapses the internal :class:OrganizationStatus lifecycle into three user-facing states the web and CLI clients can switch on without learning about intermediate internal states:

"bootstrapping" — the organization's platform stack is still being provisioned. Clients should keep polling and block access to tenant-scoped routes.
"ready" — every seeded platform resource has reached READY. The client can stop polling and render the app.
"failed" — the organization is in a terminal non-ready state (BOOTSTRAP_FAILED, DEACTIVATING, or DELETED). The client should stop polling and display a support-contact screen.

Deliberately minimal: no resource detail, no error text, no retry-after. The bootstrap gate already returns a structured 503 envelope for the tenant-scoped routes — this endpoint exists purely to tell clients when to stop polling.
