Workflow handle cofounder departure.
Composite orchestrator that bundles the four phases of the cofounder-departure cookbook into a single async call: (phase_1_separate) flips Stakeholder.status from active to separating, (phase_2_acceleration_resolution) drafts the kind: amend_founder_grants Resolution with the negotiated acceleration percentage, (phase_3_share_repurchase) fires the share_repurchase composite atomic flow against the remaining unvested tranche, and (phase_4_separation_agreement) generates the separation_agreement_with_mutual_release Document and routes it for both-party signature. Once the document executes, Stakeholder.status advances to separated.
Tier-3 only. Discretionary acceleration is a board judgement call, so the orchestrator opens a tier-3 Authorization (returned as authorization_id) that requires human countersign before the cascade fires. Tier-4 autonomous tokens cannot organise a cofounder departure — the call returns 403 tier_4_cannot_separate_cofounder.
Returns 202 Accepted. Subscribe to stakeholder.separating, resolution.created, authorization.created, authorization.signed, grant.acceleration_applied, share_repurchase.executed, cap_table.amended, document.executed, stakeholder.separated. See the cofounder-departure cookbook for the phase-by-phase walkthrough.

Query Parameters
dry_runbooleanOptionalIf true, simulate the mutation and return the would-be resource, any cascaded
resources, and a fee estimate — without side effects. Available on every mutation.
Header Parameters
X-Matter-Test-SpeedstringOptionalTest-mode only. real mirrors live timelines with mocked state responses.
fast uses a ~1-second cadence per filing (default in dev). instant makes
mutations synchronous — the response carries the terminal resource — for CI
tests and demo flows that need the post-submit state visible immediately.
Live-mode rejection. Sending this header with a sk_live_… / rk_live_… /
sk_dashboard_live_… bearer returns 400 invalid_header_for_live_mode.
Live filings move at the speed of the underlying state-of-incorporation
portal; there is no client-side simulation knob.

TypeScript Definitions
Use the request body type in TypeScript.
entity_idstringRequireddeparting_stakeholder_idstringRequireddeparture_summaryobjectRequiredeffective_datestring<date>Requiredseparation_kindstringRequired"voluntary_pre_cliff""voluntary_post_cliff""involuntary""mutual"acceleration_percentagenumberOptionalDecimal between 0 and 1 (inclusive). 0.25 means 25% of
the unvested tranche accelerates. Null implies no
discretionary acceleration; the unvested tranche flows
through to repurchase in full.
separation_agreement_template_idstringOptionalOverride the default Matter-versioned
separation_agreement_with_mutual_release template.
Null uses the platform default.
approver_stakeholder_idstringOptionalStakeholder who will countersign the tier-3 Authorization.
Typically the remaining cofounder or another officer.
metadataobjectOptionalFlat string-to-string map. Up to 50 keys. Keys: max 40 chars, charset
[A-Za-z0-9_\\-.]. Values: max 500 chars. Keys prefixed matter_ are reserved
for platform use. Metadata is retrievable but not filterable via query params.
