# Pause a leg recording

`POST /legs/{id}/record/pause`

Replaces incoming audio with silence on the active recording until `/record/resume` is called. The WAV's timeline is preserved (silent gap where audio was paused), so reviewers can see exactly when sensitive data was excluded. Idempotent: calling while already paused returns `status: already_paused`.

## Response `200`

Recording paused (or already paused)

- StatusResponse
  - `instance_id` string — Instance identifier
  - `status` string, required

## Other responses

- `404` — No recording in progress
