Cancel a mass upload
/document-mass-uploads/{id}/actions/cancelFrom uploading, queued or processing to cancelled. While uploading it aborts the multipart upload; later it stops the job at its next check and fails waiting files, keeping those already added. Returns 200, also for a repeat on a cancelled upload; any other status is 409 invalid_state; 502 upstream_error if storage refuses. Gate: view-all-documents or super admin only. Else 403 missing_permission. dry_run changes nothing. Emits document_mass_upload.cancelled. It cannot be resumed.
