      summary: Report a number (community sensor)
      description: 'The give-to-get half of the community sensor. Report a number with one or more tags using a single-use `receipt_id` from a prior POST /api/v1/inbound/lookup on the same number. Tags only — no free-text body. The receipt is an anti-replay nonce and rate control, NOT proof a call happened (it is self-mintable). Accounts with a verified business number report in the ACCOUNTABLE lane (reporter-weighted, earns credibility); free/personal accounts report in the CROWD lane (a bounded, deferring, credibility-firewalled supplementary signal that cannot sink a verified number on its own). You cannot report a number bound to your own account. The daily report quota is pooled per account: 10/day on the free floor, +100/day per verified business number. Requires an account-level key with the `report` use case (tenant sub-keys cannot report). Returns `{ ok, lane, report_id, provenance }` (provenance is a call-provenance label — matched / mismatched / null — for reports about an enrolled caller); a stale, used, or mismatched receipt returns 409, and an over-quota request returns 429.'

The key can leak into access logs — use a dedicated, rotated key, and prefer header auth wherever the client supports it.
