POST/api/v1/compliance/dpdp/evaluate

DPDP gate (allow / block / require_action)

Evaluates content + processing purpose against DPDP Act sections S.4 (purpose limitation), S.6 (consent), S.9 (child), S.11 (sensitive PD) and S.16 (cross-border). `content` (1..1,000,000 chars) is required; purpose, consentedPurposes, isChild, destinationCountry, negativeListedCountries, isSignificantDataFiduciary and sessionId are optional. orgId must resolve from ?orgId or the API key's own org (400 MISSING_ORG_ID) — a body `orgId` is ignored, and the strict body schema strips it. Returns `{ result: { verdict: allow | block | require_action, primaryReason, violations[], requiredActions[], attestations } }` with one attestation per those five sections. Pure computation — no model call. When `sessionId` is supplied a `dpdp_events` audit row is written best-effort (a failure never blocks the response).
