# Update a corrective action plan

> Requires the `caps.write` permission + CSRF. Optimistic concurrency: the request body must carry `expected_version`; a mismatch returns 409 ("refresh and retry"). A `status` change is checked against a fixed transition table (`proposed` -> `approved` -> `in_progress` -> `blocked`/`completed` -> `verified`/`rejected`); an out-of-order transition returns 422. On success, increments the CAP's version, writes an `audit_log` row (tenant schema) (`cap_updated`) with only the fields that changed, and returns the updated record. 404 if the CAP does not exist.

  title: CL MVP Product API
  description: >-
    The Causeloop MVP Product API is a deliberately small, explicitly
    allowlisted HTTP surface: `services/api/product_app.py` enumerates every one
    of the 44 published (method, path) operations drawn from seven routers, and
    only those operations are mounted onto this app -- everything else defined
    in the underlying routers (and the entire legacy research surface in
    `services/api/main.py`) is not exposed here. Staff (employee) and
    tenant-user sessions are separate cookie-based principals with no shared
    session table; mutating requests are protected by a double-submit CSRF
    cookie/header pair. See `/api-reference/authentication` for session and CSRF
    details, and `/api-reference/errors-and-conventions` for shared error shapes
    and status-code conventions.

      not write).
