Take over conversation
Switch a messaging conversation into human-operator mode so inbound messages are persisted but agent replies are suppressed. The claim is atomic: when two operators take over at once, exactly one succeeds and the other receives 409 carrying the winner's takeoverActorId. A takeover lapses and the agent resumes after the surface's interventionMode.takeoverIdleTimeoutMinutes (default 24h) with no operator send; closing or reopening the conversation also clears it.
