Validate the terms with `POST /rest/ats/applications/{application_id}/offer-validations` first. The offer is not sent to the candidate. **Token scopes**: `ats:write`, `worker:write` **Beta**: this version requires the `X-Beta: true` request header and its contract may change before it is promoted to stable. It is scheduled to become stable on 2027-01-29.
