      **Inbound notifications.** After a voice call ends, Aidan POSTs JSON to
      the Webhook URL on your agent (Voice Agents settings or `webhook_url`).
      Your server receives these requests — they are not calls *to*
      `api.callaidan.com`. The documented path `/_reference/webhooks/...` exists
      only in this spec so the payload schema can appear in the API Reference;
      it is not callable on the production API.
