| `202` | Invite deletion request accepted. The invite and its role bindings are removed immediately; the invite then returns 404, and repeating the request returns 404 as well. | — |
| `401` | Unauthorized. Possible causes: Invalid API key. | `application/json` |
| `403` | Forbidden | `application/json` |
| `404` | Not found | `application/json` |

Common causes include invariant violations (e.g., removing the last `OrgOwner`), lifecycle-state mismatches (e.g., resending an invite that is not pending), and constraint violations checked against persisted data. | `application/json` |
| `4XX` | Unexpected error on request. | `application/json` |
