Public APIKnowledge items
Create a knowledge item
Creates a new knowledge item and asynchronously embeds its text for
retrieval. sync_status.state follows the lifecycle:
pending → syncing → synced (success) or failed (terminal).
Poll the item via GET to observe the transition. pending is
non-terminal: use a client-side polling timeout because a queueing
failure can leave the item pending. A later valid PATCH re-enqueues
indexing; contact support if the state does not progress.
