Refusals: every code, its fix and the call that clears it

Every refusal code, what it means, its fix and the call that clears it, grouped by the family of calls it guards.

It says no, says why, and names the fix. Each code below is one check that refuses a send or one stop that pauses a Play, with the call that clears it.

Refusals

666 codes, each one row: what it refuses or pauses on, the fix, and the call that clears it. A refusal’s reply links its row by doc, and each family below is the calls it guards.
