# POST /member/{device_id}/secure-remove

`POST /member/{device_id}/secure-remove`

Starts the Engine-owned Legacy Space bootstrap that safely excludes a member
only after a replacement MLS state is activated. The returned summary is a
status snapshot, not a daemon-owned operation handle.

## Path parameters

- `device_id` string, required

## Response `200`

- SecureLegacyRemovalEnvelope — Canonical success envelope: `{ "data": T, "ts": <unix millis i64> }`. `ts` is `chrono::Utc::now().timestamp_millis()`, set in the webserver handler via [`ApiEnvelope::now`] (the contract carries only the type + the clock helper, not a hard dependency on when the handler reads the clock). `rename_all = "camelCase"` is a no-op for the single-word fields here but is declared for forward-compat. IMPORTANT (utoipa v4): every concrete `ApiEnvelope<X>` that needs a named OpenAPI component is declared in the `#[aliases(...)]` block below. Add a new alias line whenever a new payload type needs enveloping. NEVER register the bare `ApiEnvelope` in `components(schemas(...))` — utoipa errors on a bare generic, and an un-aliased generic inlines an anonymous schema.
  - `data` SecureLegacyRemovalDto, required — Result of starting a secure Legacy member removal.
    - `bootstrap` LegacyBootstrapDto, required
      - `bootstrapId` string, required
      - `outcome` 'awaiting_readmission' | 'complete' | 'recovery_required', required — Recoverable Legacy bootstrap progress, owned and persisted by the Engine.
      - `pendingReadmission` integer, required
  - `ts` integer, required — Server time when the response was built (unix epoch milliseconds).

## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid device ID
- `404` — Member not found
- `500` — Bootstrap failed
- `503` — Runtime unavailable
