owner_not_found

HTTP 422 · The owner email has no Vaki account.

What causes it

`POST /v1/vakis` requires `owner.email` to resolve to an existing Vaki account, and it did not. A `422` rather than a `400`: the body is well-formed, the entity it references does not exist.

What to do

Have that person create a Vaki account, then retry. Treat it as a "finish signing up" state in your own UI rather than an error toast. Creating a claimable owner on their behalf is coming with creator onboarding.

Retry?

No — the same request produces the same answer.
