Returns the data of a specific cost center belonging to the authenticated company, identified by its UUID. Use this endpoint to confirm a cost center still exists before displaying it in a UI, or to validate a costCenterId received from another source.
Rules:
- The
idis theidfield returned by GET /cost-centers/v1/cost-centers. - Returns 404 if the cost center is not found or does not belong to the authenticated company — company isolation is enforced automatically.
