# Assign Latecomer To Breakout

`POST /chatrooms/{room_name}/breakouts/assign-latecomer`

Place one late-joining student (currently in the parent room) into an
already-open breakout. Host/admin only.

The assignment is published SERVER-SIDE into the parent room, so the student
receives it even when the teacher is off inside another breakout — a host-client
broadcast would only reach the host's *current* room's data channel. Reuses the
same `breakout_assign` message the client already handles: the student's app
filters the assignments by user_id and auto-hops into the room with its code.
