      description: 'Create a sealed time capsule.


        The body is hidden from every reader (including the author when

        not signed in) until ``reveal_at`` passes. Reveal window must be

        between ``MIN_REVEAL_HOURS`` (default 1h, prevents instant-reveal

        spam) and ``MAX_REVEAL_DAYS`` in the future — out-of-range

        raises 400 ``INVALID_INPUT``. Naive datetimes are promoted to UTC.


        Karma gate: callers with negative karma are blocked (403

        ``FORBIDDEN``) — capsules survive content moderation, so

        pre-screening at create time avoids accruing material from

        confirmed-malicious accounts. Tags are normalised server-side.


        Rate-limited: 3 capsules per week (604,800 s) per user under

        ``time_capsule`` — capsules persist publicly, so the volume

        ceiling is tight.'

        ``status`` filter (``all`` / ``sealed`` / ``revealed``) splits on

        whether ``reveal_at`` has passed. ``tag`` filters to capsules

        that include the given tag in their tag array.


        Sort options:

        - ``newest`` (default): order by ``created_at`` desc.

        - ``revealing-soon``: sealed-only, order by ``reveal_at`` asc

        — the next capsule to crack open is first.

        - ``recently-revealed``: revealed-only, order by ``reveal_at``

        desc.


        Body content is always omitted for sealed capsules — only the

        title + tags + ``reveal_at`` are returned. The author can see

        their own bodies via /mine. No auth required for the browse;
