iblai-api-apply

Operate an organization's application gate: when applications are on, a user cannot join the org directly — they fill out a form the org configured, submit it, and staff review and decide it. Approval grants membership. Covers the applicant surface (create/renew a draft, save answers, upload files, pay or waive the fee, submit, withdraw), the reviewer surface (pipeline, per-student decisions, notes, waivers, fee management, blocks, placement tests, course assignments, account provisioning), and form management (schema, config, decision templates, renewal windows).

Applications support the family shape: one adult applies on behalf of one or more students. Each student in the application gets an individual record (a candidate) with its own review status and decision — one child can be accepted while a sibling is waitlisted. A form with no student section is a plain self-apply form; the applicant is the candidate. A user's application record is called a submission in the API payloads; the two words refer to the same thing.
