POST/api/v1/compliance/licences

Register a licence, registration or permit

Creates a register entry. Requires the `compliance:create` permission and an admin role — recording an instrument is an assertion about the organisation's regulatory standing. A `granted` status requires `effectiveFrom`, and `expiresAt` may not precede it. One entry per (org, jurisdiction, kind, name); a duplicate returns 409.

Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY on every request. Generate API keys at /dashboard/settings/api-keys.
