Update opportunity PATCH

Edits a draft opportunity; send only the fields you are changing. A list you send (`tasks`, `filters`, `screening_questions`, `quotas`, `cross_quotas`) replaces the stored one rather than merging into it, so read the opportunity first and send the whole list back. `quotas` and `cross_quotas` are only accepted alongside `screening_questions`. A new `expected_days_to_complete` moves the deadline without re-pricing. A request that changes nothing returns 400, and a launched opportunity returns 409.

Launch opportunity POST

Launches a draft opportunity: charges your organization's balance and starts recruiting. The charge is the participant incentive for every one of `num_participants` plus the platform fee, as `pricing` on the draft shows, and `funding` says beforehand whether the balance covers it. The response is the opportunity, already `active`, so there is nothing to poll for. Only a `draft` can be launched; any other status returns 409. A draft that cannot run is refused with 412 before anything is charged, and the message says what to fix: the balance does not cover the charge, the screener is missing or nobody can pass it, the participant budget is under the $5 minimum, or the feasibility request it was priced from is not answered yet. Unused budget is refunded when the opportunity is stopped or completes.
