Claim an unresolved contact address
Attaches a currently-unresolved contact address (contact_id is NULL) to the given contact. Idempotent if already claimed by the same contact. Default behavior (force absent or false): unchanged from before — returns 409 (Conflict) if the address is already claimed by a different, still-active (non-tombstoned) contact. Existing callers are unaffected. force: true (new): if the address is already claimed by a different, still-active contact, the claim overwrites that ownership instead of returning 409 — the previous owner's open ownership period is closed and a new one is opened for the requesting contact. Addresses owned by a tombstoned (soft-deleted) contact are repaired in place exactly as before, regardless of force.
Path parameters
