POST claims or refreshes presence on a (module, page). A bare heartbeat only tracks presence — it never claims the write lock. Pass `wants_to_edit` to actually claim it: the first session on a free page to ask becomes the writer, later ones stay read-only unless `takeover` is set (which itself implies `wants_to_edit`). Sessions expire 60 seconds after the last heartbeat. DELETE releases the caller's own session.
