PROMPT_POINTER_CAS_MISMATCH

409invalid_request

The production pointer moved under you.

Cause

The flip carried an expected_current_hash that no longer matches the stored pointer — someone else promoted in between. The flip was refused rather than clobbering their change.

How to fix it

Re-read the current production pointer, confirm you still want to promote, and retry with the fresh hash.
