Returns within ~15 s; larger builds continue in the background.get_draftShows a draft: `summary` (default), `tracks` (paged, with stable ids, year and tempo), `artists`, or `unresolved`. Waits for progress while building. Also resumes an interrupted build.edit_draftApplies one or more edits atomically. Ops: `remove_tracks`, `add_track`, `exclude_artist`, `set_artist_track_count`, `set_artist_source`, `move`, `shuffle`, `reorder`, `set_meta`, `filter`, `undo`.search_tracksSearches Spotify, or Deezer for a Deezer draft, for a track to add manually; supports `track:` / `artist:` filters.create_playlistPublishes a ready draft as a new playlist and returns its URL.
