POST/api/v1/privacy/dsr/{id}/items/{itemId}/action

Take action on DSR item

IRREVERSIBLY fulfils one DSR item — it mutates the underlying resource, it does not merely record intent. `action` (defaults to delete when omitted): `delete` removes the row from its source table (traces, eval_runs, security_scans, prompts, datasets, audit_logs); `redact` overwrites that resource type's PII string columns with a `[REDACTED via DSR ...]` sentinel and strips PII keys out of its JSONB columns (400 REDACT_UNSUPPORTED for a type with no redaction map); `export` stamps the item as exported for an access request; `skip` records that it was passed over. ORG-ADMIN ONLY. The item must belong to the DSR named in the path, and the DSR's org gates the caller. Every call stamps `action_taken`/`acted_at` on the item and writes an `audit_logs` row carrying the DSR id, request type, legal basis and SHA-256 hashes (never plaintext) of the subject's email/id, so a regulator can verify without the PII being reintroduced. Returns { item_id, action, result }.
